A dental implant is the advanced modern technique to replace your missing teeth. Like your natural tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once surgically placed. By replacing missing tooth roots, dental implants provide people with the strength and stability required to eat all the foods they love, without struggling to chew. Additionally, they help to stimulate and maintain jaw bone, preventing bone loss and helping to support facial features. Dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device.

Procedure for Dental Implant
A dental implant and its restoration is commonly composed of a titanium material screw and a crown. A though oral prophylaxis is indicated before starting with the dental implant placement procedure.
A small-diameter hole (pilot hole) is drilled at edentulous jaw sites in order to guide the titanium implant fixture in place.
After the initial pilot hole has been drilled into the appropriate jaw site, it is slowly widened to allow placement of the implant screw.
After placement of the dental implant, protective cover screw is placed on top to allow the site to heal and osseointegration to occur.
After up to six months of healing, your dentist will uncover the implant and attach an abutment (which holds the crown or tooth-like replacement.
