The Implant Solution to tooth loss
- A dental implant is a root replacement.
- It is a fine rod of metal that is inserted or "planted" into the jawbone.
- The natural root which was removed when the tooth was extracted, is now replaced by a metal root.
- Implants can allow tooth replacement when teeth have not developed because of hereditary or congenital factors.
- Titanium is the metal of choice.
-
An implant is made up of two parts: The root or body, and the abutment.
-
The root is embedded in the bone and the abutment is the part that is visible in the mouth.
-
The root portion is left under the gum while bone is growing around it. The abutment is attached at a later stage.
-
Crowns and bridges are attached to the abutments.
-
Dentures can be made more stable by being supported by abutments.
|
The implant restoration consists of:
- The implanted titanium root which is embedded in the jawbone.
- The replacement crown which is cemented or screwed to the new implant.The crown will cover and be supported by the abutment of the implant.
