Permanent tooth replacement is possible with dental implants. An implant will be surgically inserted into the jawbone by the dentist. The dental implant acts as the substitute "root" after it has fused to the bone. A crown, often referred to as a cap, is fastened to the implant to restore the lost tooth.
The jawbone must be robust enough to sustain the implant for you to be eligible for dental implants. Teeth adjacent and any surrounding tissue must be in excellent condition. Bone grafting may be used to add more bone if there isn't enough to support it.
The dentist must first thoroughly evaluate your medical history and perform an examination. Dental implants may not be an option for several medical conditions, such as liver illness, diabetes, or a severe bleeding ailment.
