A dental implant is a surgical fixture placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. It is typically made of titanium, which is biocompatible and allows for effective integration with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
The dental implant consists of three main components:
- Implant Screw: This is the part that is inserted into the jawbone and acts as the tooth root.
- Abutment: This is a connector that sits on top of the implant screw and holds the crown securely in place.
- Crown: This is the visible part of the tooth that is custom-made to match the surrounding teeth and is attached to the abutment.
Dental implants are a popular option for restoring missing teeth because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They can improve chewing ability, speech, and overall oral health by preventing bone loss and maintaining the structure of the jaw. The procedure usually involves several steps, including initial consultation, placement of the implant, healing period, and placement of the crown.
