Dental Implants for a Permanent Smile
When it comes to permanent tooth restoration, dental implants are the premier choice. A dental implant is made up of a titanium post that gradually conforms with your jawbone. This fusion forms a strong and durable anchor for your new teeth. Unlike dentures which can slip around in your mouth, dental implants enable you to savor your favorite foods again and help you to speak with more confidence.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Dental implants have three main components.
The Implant: This titanium screw plays the role of a root for your new teeth, anchoring them permanently to your jaw.
The Abutment: The piece of the prosthetic that acts as the connector between the implant and the crown.
The Crown: The visible part of the tooth, made of beautiful material like zirconium or porcelain. The crown functions as an artificial tooth.
