Dental Implants
What are dental implants
Dental implants are metal screws that are surgically fixed in the jawbone under the gums in the upper or lower jaw. They act as artificial tooth roots, and these can then be attached dental crowns. Dental implants can be done on individual teeth or larger crowns and bridges. Dental implants are made of titanium metal as the body’s own tissue to accept. Dental implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth.
In order for an implant treatment success requires that the patient has a good general condition and a good oral hygiene. It is also essential that you have enough jawbone to secure the implants. If not enough bone volume to install an implant, there are various possibilities to build up the jawbone and prepare for a successful treatment.
Who can receive dental implants
Dental implants can be inserted at all once the jaw is fully grown. All who lack one or more teeth due to injury, disease or tooth decay may be suitable for dental implants. The crucial factor is how much bone is available.
