Dental implants are a remarkable tooth replacement solution, offering both function and aesthetics. They consist of two essential components:
Titanium Implant: The implant itself, made of biocompatible titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone. This titanium post serves as a replacement for the natural tooth root.
Crown: The crown is the visible portion of the tooth, custom-designed to match your natural teeth seamlessly. It is securely attached to the implant after the healing process.
The magic of dental implants lies in their ability to fuse with the jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration. During this period, which typically spans several months, the implant becomes a permanent part of your jawbone. This fusion provides remarkable stability, strength, and support for your new teeth.
The healing process can vary from person to person but generally takes a few months. During this time, the implant fuses to the jawbone, creating a strong foundation for the crown.
Dental implant placement is typically performed under local anesthesia and sedation, ensuring a painless and comfortable procedure. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the surgery.
