What are Dental Implants?

Dental Implants are artificial replacement tooth root that is fixed to the jaw bone to hold a tooth crown. It is a permanent replacement of missing teeth, which lasts for a lifetime and totally mimics natural teeth both functionally and esthetically.

Dental Implant consists of three components:

• Implant:Is made of Titanium and is like a screw which is placed in the jawbone
• Implant Abutment:is a connector attachment that supports the tooth crown
• Implant Crown:Is placed on the Abutment and is clinically seen in the mouth

What happens if you don’t replace a missing tooth?

• A missing tooth/teeth is esthetically unpleasant and change in facial profile
• Missing tooth can cause your jaws bone to shrink and your gums to recede which can weaken the teeth on either side of the missing tooth.
• The adjacent teeth will shift/drift to the empty space resulting in malalignment of teeth(crooked/crowded teeth) and periodontal problems.
• Results in food lodgement, plaque build-up, and decay.
• Missing tooth results in gum problems.
• Loss of tooth function-Reduced masticatory function leading to indigestion
• Speech disturbance
