NOBEL BIOCARE IMPLANT SYSTEM What are dental implants? Dental implants are small screws designed to replace the root of a tooth and restore the physical appearance and the chewing function of patients with partial or full tooth loss.  Nobel Biocare dental implants are intended for use in either the upper and/or the lower jaw to support prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth. By integrating with the jaw, they enable restorations that range from replacement of one single tooth to an entire arch of bridgework, or as stabilizing elements for overdenture applications. Nobel Biocare manufactures dental implants from titanium, which is both biocompatible and strong. Are you a good candidate for dental implants? Patients must undergo a medical evaluation to determine whether the implant placement procedure poses any health risks, and whether any factors exist that may affect the healing capacity of either their bones or their associated soft tissues. Who can receive dental implants? Patients who are medically fit to participate in a general oral surgical procedure. Who should carefully consider dental implants?
