What is a dental implant?

Dental implants mimic the natural tooth in that they substitute the tooth root over which a ceramic crown is placed which mimics the natural tooth crown. Implants are titanium posts that are designed to look exactly like the natural tooth and provides a foundation for the replacement of teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. The post is surgically placed into the jaw bone where it bonds with the bone and is then used to anchor the prosthetic teeth in place. Implants can be used to replace one missing tooth, multiple teeth or even an entire quadrant of missing teeth.  Visit bestdentistinbangalore.in to learn more.

In case of missing teeth (single or multiple), implants offer numerous advantages over fixed bridges and removable dentures-

• better aesthetics- implants are placed in the gum similar to the way a natural tooth is supported and offer a more realistic and natural look

• reduction in bone loss- when a tooth is lost, the supporting bone gradually recedes. Placing an implant in that empty space significantly reduces the rate of bone loss and even provides stability

• fixed option- people who have experienced removal full or partial dentures know that keeping dentures in place is always a challenge. Dental implants offer a great improvement in retention.

• preserving natural tooth structure- dental implants are independent units and does not negatively affect the neighbouring teeth.
