DENTAL IMPLANTS

Patients often suffer from a loss of one or more teeth, which causes anesthetic or functional problem represented by the inability to chew food appropriately which requires treatment to rehabilitate the mouth to restore all functions. Dental implants are the best solution to this problems: it is a titanium screw which replaces the missing tooth placed in the jaw bone and it is considered a permanent treatment and requires good oral care. Features of dental implants, unlike dental bridges that need adjacent sculpting teeth and thus weakening them. The gums’ position naturally around them lasts better than the bridge because the occlusal forces are perfectly distributed over the teeth.

Types of dental implants

Implanted inside the bone

It is the most prevalent species where the implant is placed inside the bone, and the patient must be observant of oral health, and the gums are free from infections.

Implant on the bone

Implants do not take place inside the bone, but a metal frame is used on the jaw bone and under the gums, and this type is used if the amount of bone is not sufficient for conventional implantation.
