DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implants are the greatest choice for replacing lost teeth and are used to prevent tooth loss. Dental implants are tooth-replacement devices that employ artificial dental roots to replace lost teeth. Dental implants, like tooth roots, are fixed in the jawbone and are not visible until medically implanted. They’re utilised in a number of ways to keep crowns, bridgework, and dentures in place. Titanium is used to make dental implants because metal is lightweight, robust, and biocompatible. Titanium and its alloys are the most common metals used in dentistry and other types of bone implants, such as joint replacements. The biological basis of dental implant success is titanium’s unique characteristic of fusing to bone, known as osseointegration. Dental implants have the best success rate of any surgical device that is installed.

If a patient loses a single tooth, the other teeth in the surrounding region may begin to move. This might result in gaps in the grin or the remainder of the dental arch being misaligned. Many dentists used to propose dental bridges to assist prevent movement, but the surrounding teeth had to be filed down in order for the bridge to be placed. Dental implants have become a preferred alternative to harming the surrounding teeth to replace a single tooth. Dental implants keep teeth aligned while also working as a stand-alone replacement that doesn’t rely on neighbouring teeth.
