Dental implants are the new discovery in the dental field which has modernised the treatment plan for people with complaint of missing tooth.

Do you know what are the parts of an Implant?

An implant has various parts but we will tell you broadly about three parts which are as follows :

 – the fixture : it is that part of implant which is fixed in the jaw bones and acts as an anchor for the tooth to be placed as the crown. It has hydroxyapatite coating on it which allows osseointegration. 

 – abutment : it is fixed within the fixture to hold the dental work and provides support to the prosthesis.

 – the prosthesis : it is that part of implant which supports various dental work like crowns, bridges or dentures. 

How does Dental Implant Work?

As implants are fixed into your jaw bones they provide support to your artificial teeth. Dental work like crowns, bridges, dentures are fixed onto them which prevent the slippage or removal of the prosthesis .

The advantage of an implant is that they do not require any adjacent teeth for support as they are anchored to the jawbone and thus are able to support bridges.

Two different implants which are considered to be safe are :

-Endosteal implants: these are surgically fitted implants into the jaw bones thus called endosteal. 

– Subperiosteal implant: these are implants that has metal frames and are placed onto the jaw bones below gum tissue. Later on they are fixed with the jaw bones and carries posts which protrude out of the gums for supporting the prosthesis.

– Implants improve the esthetics of a person, they look like one’s own teeth and gives a natural appearance to your mouth.
