What is a Dental Implant?

These implants will be inserted in the jawbone and act as if they are a teeth roots. In case of a single missing tooth, it is possible to insert an implant without touching the adjacent healthy teeth. In patients with multiple tooth deficiencies, missing teeth can be completed, whereas fixed dentures can be used instead of removable dentures.

It can be ensured that the removable dentures that constantly come out and are prone to this will remain fixed by means of using implants.
