Implants,
they’re the
way forward
Implants are nothing new in dental care.
In fact, dental implants have been used to
replace one, several or all teeth in the upper
or lower jaws since the mid 1960’s.
So what are dental implants?
They are small screws made of titanium, which
is a metal accepted by the body. The titanium
screw is inserted into the jawbone to form the
foundation of the implant. Once the screw or
screws are fixed an abutment (a ceramic or
titanium component that ensures a secure fit
between the dental implant and the crown)
is fixed to the screw. Once the screw and the
abutment are in place it is time to fit the crown,
the bridge, or the prosthesis for an entire upper
or lower jaw.
