Known as “screw-in teeth”
These are artificial substitutes of the root, usually made from titanium, that are placed surgically on the jawbone. This is achieved either through a simple surgical procedure, or by combining various grafting techniques. In some cases, bone grafting may be required to optimize the success of the osseointegration.
Advantages of dental implants
- Comfort
- Improved chewing ability
- Increased self-confidence as dental implants operate to a significant degree similarly to natural teeth.
- No drilling of nearby teeth necessary, as required in bridges.
- Retention of bone in the area that they are placed.
