The introduction of dental implants has brought about a new wave of teeth replacement solutions in the field of prosthetic dentistry, revolutionizing dental rehabilitation. Dental implants have truly transformed the way we approach tooth replacement.
A typical dental implant consists of two parts: a screw that is implanted into the jawbone and an abutment that links the screw to the prostheses above it (such as crowns, bridges, or dentures).
Compared to traditional tooth replacement methods, dental implants are fixed and simulate the natural tooth root, preventing jaw bone resorption. This bone-saving feature helps maintain facial symmetry and a youthful appearance.
Not only do dental implants look natural and have a high aesthetic value, but they also restore complete chewing ability, as they can withstand forces almost equal to natural teeth. This contributes to better nutrition and overall health.
