What are Dental Implants and Why is it Important?
A dental implant surgical treatment gives a new life to your smile. A dental implant is a perfect replacement for your fractured or lost tooth and performs like a natural tooth. The procedure is intended to be effortless and give a smile that endures forever. When dental and restorative practices are performed by a team of dental experts, the procedure is one of the safest and most successful in dental and cosmetic practices.
There are 3 main parts to dental implants:
The implant, The abutment, and The crown
1. Dental Implant
The implant is a screw-like design made of titanium that is implanted into the bone. The bone fuses with the implant through a natural process known as osseointegration. Conventional implants are placed into the patient’s jawbone. However, patients with extreme bone loss in the upper jaw may receive zygomatic implants. Zygomatic implants are longer than traditional implants and are placed in the cheekbone of patients.
2. Dental Abutments
The abutment works like a joint that fastens the prosthetic teeth to the implant. A minute screw goes through the prosthesis and into the abutment to keep it tight. Abutments are often angled to allow the proper alignment of the prosthesis onto a tilted implant. Abutments are significant in securing your natural-like teeth so that patients can flaunt a forever smile.
3. Dental Crowns
A dental crown is also known as a “natural-looking tooth” and performs as such. It’s designed to be as strong and as durable as the real tooth. With Smile Craft’s same-day dentistry solutions, patients can now have customized crowns best suited for their smile using hi-tech dental CAD-CAM technology. Prosthetic teeth designed for dental implants can be for a single tooth or a full set of teeth, known as a “full arch”.
Importance of Dental Implant
The procedure of dental implants is important for replacing the missing tooth, for efficient chewing of food, for boosting your self-confidence, and to support the structure of the jawbone for an aesthetically pleasing look.
