Implant Crown & Bridge
Dental Implants: An Overview
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are essentially artificial tooth roots, usually made of titanium, that are surgically anchored into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Once implanted, these act as a foundation to support crowns, bridges, or dentures, effectively restoring functionality and aesthetics.
Uses of Dental Implants
- Single Tooth Replacement: When an individual loses a single tooth due to trauma, decay, or other dental problems, an implant can be used to replace that particular tooth without affecting adjacent teeth.
- Multiple Teeth Replacement: For those missing several teeth in a row, instead of individual implants for each missing tooth, a bridge can be anchored to two or more implant posts.
- Full Arch Replacement: For patients who have lost all their teeth in an arch (either upper or lower), several implants can be placed to support a full-arch denture or bridge.
- Support for Dentures: Implants can provide additional stability and retention for removable dentures, preventing them from slipping or clicking during speech and eating.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Appearance and Function: Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They restore a patient’s ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Bone Preservation: Implants help in preventing bone loss that usually occurs beneath missing teeth by stimulating the bone during chewing.
- Durability: With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a more permanent solution compared to other dental restorations.
- Protects Adjacent Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges that require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth, implants don’t necessitate compromising the health of neighboring teeth.
- Improved Oral Health: By filling the gaps left by missing teeth, implants prevent shifting of adjacent teeth, thus maintaining proper alignment and bite.
