Titanium abutment

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that an experienced dentist places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reasons. While high-tech in natural-looking and feeling,you may forgot you ever lost a tooth. You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Since dental implants integrate into the structure of your bone, they prevent the bone loss and gum recession that after accompany bridgework and dentures. No one will ever know that you have a replacement tooth. Dental Implants don’t sacrifice the quality of your adjacent teeth like a bridge does because neighboring teeth are not altered to support the implants. More of your own teeth are left untouched, a significant long-term benefit to your oral health!
