DENTAL IMPLANT is an artificial root placed into the jaw to hold a MISSING TOOTH.
Best option for who have lost a single tooth.
In case of more missing teeth, multiple implants are placed and they are joined by IMPLANT PROSTHESIS.
In case of completely missing teeth implant supported DENTURES can give better retention and stability and hence chewing efficiency is more.
After clinical examination and radiographic assessment[ CBCT, OPG], a small opening is made in the gums to expose the bone. Surgical guides are prepared and implant made up of TITANIUM is placed. Once the IMPLANT is placed, bone is deposited and the implant unites with the bone. After placing the implant perfectly, ABUTMENT is placed . Abutment is a post that connects implant to the prostetic tooth. After 2-3 weeks artificial tooth is placed.
