Missing tooth? Why Dental Implants Maybe The Best Choice
Dental implants consist of zirconium, titanium or ceramic screw. The screw is inserted into the jaw, serving as a replacement for the root of the missing tooth. The bone situated around this region gradually fuses to the implant, thus holding it securely in place. This implant (in the jaw bone ) or abutment (tooth-like structure above the gums ) provides the structure to which a false tooth (a crown or implant-supported bridge) can be fitted.
