Dental implants are the best option to restore lost teeth once and for all.

Today, implantation is the perfect method for restoring lost teeth. Only dental implants can restore the functionality of the tooth completely, including the root, without involving the adjacent teeth. 

When are dental implants needed?

Dental implant is a metal post implanted in the jaw on which denture is attached. This method of attachment is much more reliable than the usual method, when structures are attached to adjacent teeth. In addition, this method avoids turning the adjacent teeth. Dental implants are also called intraosseous because they are implanted into the jawbone.

For some people, dental implants are the most comfortable way to restore lost teeth, for others - the only possible one. Conventional dentures and bridges are not suitable for those who suffer from diseases of the oral mucosa, have poorly expressed alveolar processes, and suffer from nausea while wearing conventional dentures. 

Before applying dental implants, it is necessary to normalize the state of the oral cavity - to treat the teeth, get rid of bleeding gums. In addition, you should regularly visit your dentist and carefully follow your oral hygiene.

Dental implants usually last at least 10–20 years. The term depends on patient's care for the oral cavity, the state of health, the quality of the implantation performed and the place of the installed implant. So, implants replacing the front teeth experience less chewing load than implants in the area of ​​the chewing teeth, and therefore last longer. 

Dental implant is usually a multi-component design. 

When prosthetic implant is performed, a titanium pin is first inserted into the tooth bone - it replaces the tooth root. In fact, this is a metal rod or screw.

The abutment serves as an intermediary between the implant and the crown of the tooth. This is the part of the entire structure that is visible above the gum. The denture attachment system can be screw, when the crown is connected to the abutment with a screw, or it can be cement. In this case, the two parts are securely connected with dental cement. The element material is metal, plastic (temporary option) or zirconium. The better and more durable the material, the more expensive it is. Crown is the part that is visible instead of the lost tooth. The crown can be made of various materials.
