Dental implants are titanium components that serve as the root of a tooth and are surgically placed in the jawbone. The titanium implant fuses with the bone and acts as support for the crown or the prosthesis, which is the piece that functions as an artificial tooth.
They are the most effective solution for replacing lost teeth because they provide the opportunity to restore both the functionality and aesthetics of the missing tooth.
There are several benefits to dental implants. One of them is that the adjacent teeth to the missing tooth are not altered, as they do not need to be filed down or reduced. Implants also prevent the loss of bone structure in the space where the tooth is missing.
The primary benefit of implants is their durability. With proper hygiene and adequate maintenance, they can last as long as a natural tooth. Routine oral care, such as brushing, is just as easy to perform as with natural teeth.
