Understand how is a dental implant will help us understand how dental implant treatment is performed and why it is so safe, functional, comfortable and aesthetic.
Components of a Dental Implant
A dental implant has several parts and each one fulfills its function:
The implant
It's a screw made of titanium. When losing a tooth, this screw is inserted into the bone of the space left by the tooth.
The function of the implant is replace tooth root. This in order to have the same support as a natural tooth when biting or chewing.
The crown or dental prosthesis
Dental prosthesis is the visible and aesthetic part of the tooth. The prosthesis is made in a very similar way to natural teeth, maintaining its same shape and color. It won't really look like you have dental implant treatment.
Dental implants can be used for the restoration of missing teeth with fixed prostheses or with removable prostheses (such as hybrids or overdentures).
The abutment
The abutment is a abutment that makes the connection between the implant and the dental prosthesis. It is not used by all implantologists but it helps prevent gum inflammation and food accumulation.
The implant is located in the bone, below the gum. Placing the abutment allows a precise connection between the implant and the dental prosthesis.
The time of the treatment and its success will depend on the care during the postsurgical process. By attaching itself to the bone, just as a natural tooth does with its root, a dental implant generates the necessary support to support the chewing activity without moving.
In addition, the materials with which all its pieces are made are very safe and resistant. The screw is not visible and the visible part is highly aesthetic.
