About this course
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots designed to support one or more prosthetic teeth, offering a long-term and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. The process begins with the surgical placement of a titanium screw into the jawbone, where it undergoes a process called osseointegration, allowing it to fuse securely with the bone over 4 to 6 months. This integration provides a stable foundation for the final restoration.
Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant, serving as a connector between the implant and the final ceramic crown. This crown is custom-made to match the patient’s natural teeth in shape, size, and color, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.
Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional tooth replacement options, including improved durability, enhanced chewing ability, and the preservation of jawbone structure. They eliminate the need for removable dentures and do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, making them one of the most advanced and reliable solutions in modern dentistry.
