What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a modern and effective solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. An implant is essentially an artificial tooth root made of biocompatible materials that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once the implant has been inserted, it will integrate with the bone tissue in a process called osseointegration, which can take several months.Once osseointegration has occurred, a dental crown or bridge can be securely attached to the implant, providing a natural-looking and functioning replacement for the missing tooth or teeth. Implants can also be used to support dentures, providing a more stable and comfortable fit.
There are several benefits
There are several benefits to choosing dental implants as a tooth replacement option. Firstly, they provide a long-lasting solution. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years, often even a lifetime. Secondly, they can help to preserve the bone tissue in the jaw, which can deteriorate over time when a tooth is missing. This can prevent further tooth loss and maintain the overall structure of the face.
Dental implants also offer improved comfort and functionality compared to other tooth replacement options. Unlike dentures, they do not require any adhesives or removal for cleaning, and they can be used to eat and speak with confidence.
To be a candidate for dental implants, a patient must have healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implant. Dr Ivanov will conduct a thorough examination to determine if implants are the right option for you.
