Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of a patient’s smile.
The process of getting dental implants typically involves several steps, including a consultation with a dental implant specialist, a comprehensive dental examination, and a review of the patient’s medical history. The dental implant specialist will work with the patient to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs and goals. During the implant procedure, the Implantologist will surgically place the implant into the jawbone, where it will fuse with the bone over time. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a replacement tooth or bridge can be attached to the implant, restoring the patient’s ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Dental implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options, including improved function and durability, enhanced appearance, and better oral health. They can also help to prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur when a tooth is missing for an extended period.
