Implants are artificial replacements of the natural teeth roots. The material used is titanium, the only biocompatible metal.
Implants are useful when there is no possible way to recover a dental piece or when it doesn’t exist. They can be used to replace complete or partial dentitions and small bridges. One or more implants can be placed depending on the patients needs.
Benefits:
They can be a support for a complete dentition, making it more secure and comfortable.
It can support a fixed bridge, eliminating two issues:
1-Not to use removable set of teeth
2-Not to carve healthy teeth
Prevents bone loss for support., as it happens with regular replacements.
Better comfort
Ability to chew on any type of food
