π¦· Dental Implants: A Basic Introduction
Missing a tooth? A dental implant may be one option to restore your smile and chewing function.
π A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. It acts like an artificial tooth root and can support a replacement tooth, such as a dental crown. Implants can also be used to support bridges or dentures.
π How does it work?
β’ Implant placement β The implant is placed into the jawbone.
β’ Healing & integration β The bone gradually bonds with the implant in a process called osseointegration. This can take several months.
β’ Replacement tooth β Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown, bridge or denture can be attached to the implant.
π’ Why consider dental implants?
β¨ Help replace missing teeth
β¨ Restore chewing function
β¨ Provide a fixed alternative to removable dentures
β¨ Can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth
β¨ May help preserve the jawbone around the missing tooth area
However, dental implants are not suitable for everyone. Your dentist will assess your gums, teeth, jawbone, general health and other factors before recommending the most appropriate treatment. In some cases, additional procedures such as bone grafting may be needed.
If you have a missing tooth, speak to your dentist to find out whether dental implants or another tooth-replacement option may be suitable for you.
