What are dental implants:
Dental implants are titanium inserts that take the place of tooth roots. They are firmly fixed into the jawbone on which a fixed or removable false tooth [prosthesis] can be attached to look and function like a natural tooth.
Advantages of Implants:
1.No need of removable dentures.
2. No need to grind natural adjacent teeth for fabrication of bridges.
3. Implants are biocompatible.
4. With proper care and oral hygiene, implants usually last a lifetime.
5. Implants provide stability and comfort.
6. Eliminate the need for adjustment once placed.
7. Stimulate natural bone minimising further bone loss.
