WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?
TYPES OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
SINGLE-TOOTH IMPLANT
If you are just missing one tooth, a dental implant will be ideal for you. Due to the titanium post of the implant, your neighbouring teeth don’t get affected. Implants are unique, and are done according to the natural detention of each person. If with the passage of time or due to any reason your implants get damaged, they can be restored easily as well.
Single-tooth implant
Implant-supported bridge
IMPLANT - SUPPORTED BRIDGE
Dental implants involve a titanium post and a prosthetic tooth. The post is inserted through surgery and the tooth is placed over it. Titanium post is used as it is biocompatible. Due to which, it makes it easy for it to fuse in the bone and provide anchorage for the artificial tooth. And it is due to the titanium post that the implant stays in place for a long time. Implants are useful for supporting bridges, dentures, or single-tooth restorations.
Implant-supported bridge is ideal if there is multiple teeth loss. This type of implant doesn’t require any support unlike the traditional bridge. If there is any wear and tear, it is also easy to restore. Implant-supported bridges are durable and will match with your natural teeth to give you that perfect smile.
ADVANTAGES OF USING DENTAL IMPLANTS
Implants are a popular option among people who want to fill the gaps due to missing teeth. Dental implants are long lasting and sturdy which can blend with your natural teeth effortlessly. Dental implants help to improve speech, oral health, dental uniformity, and chewing functionality.
