Dental implant

Artificial root that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull is represents dental implant. Implants are made from titanium and are used in order to replace one or more missing teeth, which can bring ease to everyday life for the majority of people. Procedure itself does not damage existing teeth and it’s very important to mention that every dental implant used today is endosseous, which means that it’s extremely similar to the real roots of teeth.

The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic process called osseointegration, in which materials such as titanium form an intimate bond to bone and that’s the reason behind such excellent integration. The implant fixture is first placed so that it is likely to osseointegrate, then a dental prosthetic is added. After the process, dental implants are used as support for various dental prosthetic , such as teeth, bridge or denture.

Dental implants are the best and the most rational solution when it comes to losing teeth. Not only do they bring back the feeling of natural teeth for patients, but they fit perfectly into the jaw with the remaining teeth. Procedure of placing an implant is done in local anesthesia and usually takes about 15 minutes.
