Dental Implant
A dental implant is an artificially made tooth that can be made to feel and perform like a real tooth in the underlying alveolar bone.
Dental implants consist of three components:
- Crown – a replacement tooth custom-made to match adjacent teeth
- Abutment – a device that supports and connects the crown to implant fixture
- Fixture – the titanium device embedded in the jaw bone which replaces the original root of the tooth
Key benefits of using implants:
- Improve your appearance
- Improved comfort and speech
- Improvement of self-esteem
- Eat what you want
- Smile with confidence
- Maintain healthy adjacent teeth
- Long term results
- Preservation of jaw bone
