Dental implants are the go-to solution to replace missing natural teeth. They are a combination of a crown made from dental-grade ceramic and a metal stud made from titanium. The dentist will insert the implant into the jawbone at the exact position of the missing tooth. It restores both oral aesthetics and functionality.
Candidacy plays a significant role in getting a dental implant. Factors such as jawbone size, oral diseases, overall health, presence of cavities, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. will be checked before confirming the candidacy. We will also take a few x-rays and scans of the mouth to serve as a reference for fabricating the crown. Meanwhile, the dentist will prepare you for the implant surgery.
The dentist will make a small hole in the jawbone and insert the implant in it. Dental cement is used for the purpose, after which a suitable healing period is suggested. During this, the jawbone will grow around the grooves of the implant, and the gums partially cover the stud. During the next appointment, the dentist will place the crown on the implant using an abutment and secure it firmly with dental adhesives. The dentist will then conduct a bite test and polish the implant to enhance its appearance.
