Dental implants are small, sturdy, titanium post that acts as the root structure in replacement of a natural root of the tooth. A dental implant is placed into a patient’s upper or lower jaw bone. After the bone has grown around the implant, implants can hold a crown, bridge or overdenture just like roots hold natural teeth in place.
Implants are the latest dental technology for replacing the roots of lost teeth. They are used to support crowns, bridges, and dentures. Implants offer stability, comfort and a sense of freedom for those who have missing teeth and want to regain their smile back.
Indications for Dental Implants
Loss of Prosterior
Using an implant enables the dentist to construct a fixed bridge and eliminates the discomfort of having an removable denture that the gingival and creates discomfort.
Loss of Individual Teeth
Replacing the missing teeth by using an implant can save preparation of the adjacent teeth; eliminate unnecessary damage and reducing the number of crowns needed.
Total Loss of Teeth
a) Stabilizing Dentures
Denture users suffer from gum pain, lack of denture, stability, discomfort and reduced chewing capability. Implants can provide stability and retention for dentures by means of connectors assembled on the implants.
b) Fixed Full Mouth Bridgework
Placement of a large number of implants can provide an
adequate base for full fixed reconstruction of the teeth.
