Daily Health Tips

The implants have been around for many years and have gained wide acceptance over time, as they have proved a successful method for replacing missing teeth. These offer a solution to have artificial teeth that look natural and feel safe.

The implant itself, often made of titanium, is used as an artificial root to support the false tooth or teeth. The dental surgeon, usually a periodontist (gum specialist) or an oral surgeon places the implant into a hole in the jawbone. Then, he can anchor a pillar of this “artificial root” and is used to fix a prosthetic device on the gum, such as a crown or bridge. The implants can be used in conjunction with removable dentures to create a more secure and stable base for the denture.
