What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that's surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. The implant is designed to mimic the natural tooth root, providing a strong foundation for the artificial tooth. The process of getting a dental implant involves several stages, including:
Types of Dental Implants
There are several types of dental implants, including:
Single-Tooth Implant
Designed for replacing a single missing tooth, single-tooth implants are the most common type of implant.
Multiple-Tooth Implants
For replacing multiple teeth, multiple-tooth implants are used to create a natural-looking smile.
Full-Arch Implants
For replacing an entire arch of teeth, full-arch implants are used to create a permanent and natural-looking smile.
All-On-4 Implants
A variation of full-arch implants, all-on-4 implants use four implants to support a full arch of teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a natural-looking and feeling replacement for missing teeth. They enable confident chewing and speaking, enhance facial aesthetics, and boost self-esteem. With a long-lasting solution, they preserve surrounding bone and prevent future tooth loss.
