DENTAL IMPLANTS

WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT ?

A dental implant is an artificial structure that replaces the missing tooth. It looks closest to your natural tooth.Each individual implant has got three pieces: the screw, abutment and crown which are fit together to replace your missing tooth.

The dental implant is basically a titanium screw which is placed deep in the gum tissue and over a period of few months the screw fuses permanently with the alveolar bone.

An abutment is a connector between the screw and the crown.

Crown is basically the visible tooth that is customized to fit the shape and colour of patient’s smile perfectly.
