What is a dental implant?
The dental implant is constructed of titanium alloy and it functions as a substitute of the tooth root, which integrates into the jawbone and supports a crown.Are they placed easily?
This procedure is divided into different stages, that’s why two specialized dentists are usually needed, an oral surgeon and a prosthodontist. Initially, the dentist examines if the patient has sufficient quantity and quality of jawbone in the area of interest.
The longer the tooth is missing, the more likely is the bone to be resorbed.
ΈAn important advantage of dental implants is that they prevent further absorption of the bone. If there is not enough bone volume, bone regenerative techniques precede the placement of the implant.
Dental implants are placed under local anesthesia in our dental clinic.
