What Are Dental Implants & Their Benefits?
Introduction to Dental Implants
Dental implants are small titanium fixtures placed into the jaw bones which acts as a root of the tooth. Mostly all the implants are made from pure titanium, something which is biocompatible. This basically means it is not seen as a foreign body & hence not rejected by the immune response of the body. The main key of placing implants onto the bone that once carefully & judiciously inserted into the bone, it leads to bone growth onto the implant that makes it more firm within the bone. This connection between the bone & the implant makes it strong enough to withstand forces of chewing & biting.
Implants can replace one or more teeth or a whole set of missing teeth.In cases of missing single tooth, individual implants can be inserted with crown fitted over the top.
