A
dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your
jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an
option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal
disease, an injury, or some other reason.

After
the initial consultation, the next step in the dental implant
procedure is the dental implant placement. During the next
appointment, your dentist will carefully position a dental implant,
or titanium metal rod, at the position where the tooth root is
missing. This rod is usually surrounded and covered with gum tissue
to allow it time to fuse with the jawbone over several months in a
process called osseointegration. The dental implant is made of
materials that work naturally with the body, and the bond between the
jawbone and dental implant creates an important, sturdy anchor that
replicates the strength of a natural tooth root.
The
brief video below gives a graphical representation of the teeth
implants procedure:
After
the dental implant has fused with the jawbone to create a sturdy
anchor, an abutment, a small piece of metal that screws onto the
dental implant, is attached. A dental crown, or artificial tooth, is
fastened securely to this abutment, completing the teeth implants procedure. In some cases, the abutment is attached at the same time
that the implant is positioned. When this is the case, patients
receive a temporary crown that attaches to the abutment until their
permanent crown is crafted
Tooth implants can replace lost or broken teeth, maintaining the integrity
of your chewing function and supporting a healthy diet. Mahendra dental clinic Hyderabad can offer a wide variety of dental implants
