Description

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials like titanium. Surgically placed into the jawbone, they fuse with the bone over time to create a stable, long-term foundation for holding a replacement crown, bridge, or denture . A dental implant system consists of three main components: -The Implant (Fixture): A threaded, screw-like post that is placed directly into the jawbone to act as the root. -The Abutment: A connector piece that secures the artificial tooth to the implant once the initial healing is complete. -The Crown (Prosthesis): The visible, custom-made artificial tooth that attaches to the abutment, designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
