A dental implant is an artificial substitute and replacement for the root portion of your natural tooth and is anchored into your jaw-bone to support a crown, bridge or secure a denture firmly in place. Implants are made from titanium, a material that is well tolerated by bone and integrates easily with bone tissue, thereby creating a stable support for the new teeth.
Having Dental Implants has many advantages which include:
- Reduced bone loss
- Improved function
- Improved dental hygiene
- No interference to adjacent healthy tooth structure
- More aesthetically pleasing
