What is a dental implant?
A new tooth root made of titanium
A dental implant is a small screw like metal post made of medical titanium and acting as an artificial tooth root. Medical titanium and its alloys are biologically inert and integrate well with the human body tissues. This allows the bone tissue to grow very closely to the titanium implant, so that they fuse together and create a strong bond. Cases of intolerance are extremely uncommon.
Dental implantation is a short surgical procedure to install a new tooth root made of titanium.
Dental implantation is usually an outpatient surgery performed under local anesthesia. In the course of the surgery, the dental implant is placed into the patient’s jawbone so that it can assume the function of the tooth root. Dental implantation is totally safe in what considers the function of vital organs of the human body. After the implant is embedded into the jawbone, it bonds tightly with the bone creating a stable platform for a secure and durable installation of a dental prosthesis.
