Dental implants consist of two parts. The first part is a titanium screw known as a dental implant post. The dental implant post acts as a replacement for the tooth root, and it is surgically added to your jawbone. After the necessary healing time for the implant to fuse with your jawbone, we place the second part of the dental implant: the dental implant restoration. The dental implant restoration makes up the rest of the replacement tooth. Depending on your smile’s needs, this could be a dental crown or an implant-supported denture.
Dental implants come with many benefits for your dental and oral health. Dental implants fill out and complete your smile, enhancing the beauty of your smile. With the stability of dental implants, you can also eat and speak easily again, allowing you to enjoy favorite foods and communicate clearly. In addition, dental implants also serve to protect your oral health, as they help prevent losing bone mass and contracting gum disease.
