Dental implant is an
artificial replacement
for the roots of a tooth
that is lost. Hence the
function of a dental
implant is to support a
crown, bridge or
sometimes a denture.
Most dental implants
today are mostly made
out of Titanium. They
are usually shaped
similar to a screw to
create more contact
surface with bone.
The process of
placing an implant
usually involves:
1.
Exam and diagnosis
2.
Radiographic and MRI
examinations
3.
Treatment planning
4.
Surgical placement of
the implant/implants
5. Healing time
for implant/bone
integration
6.
Restoration of the
implants
