What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture. They are designed to mimic the natural tooth root and provide a stable foundation for your replacement teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
- 1. Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, boosting your self-confidence and self-esteem.
- 2. Enhanced Functionality: Dental implants allow you to eat, speak, and chew with confidence and comfort.
- 3. Long-Term Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, even a lifetime.
- 4. Bone Preservation: Dental implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss and facial sagging.
The Dental Implant Procedure:
- 1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Praveen Kurapati will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment options.
- 2. Surgical Placement: The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- 3. Osseointegration: The implant fuses with the surrounding bone, creating a strong foundation.
- 4. Abutment Attachment: An abutment is attached to the implant, connecting it to the crown or bridge.
- 5. Crown or Bridge Placement: The final crown or bridge is placed, restoring your smile.
Conclusion:
Dental implants are a reliable and long-term solution for replacing missing teeth.
