Dental implants are the best tooth replacement option out there. They work by replacing the roots of the missing teeth, allowing for various benefits, like stability, comfort, and longevity! As you are beginning the dental implant process, it\u2019s important to be well informed. This way, you will know exactly what you can expect. Here are some dental implant<\/a>-related terms that you should be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Abutment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the connector piece that connects your restoration to your dental implant. This helps to ensure that your dental crown, bridge, or dentures stay perfectly in place. You don\u2019t need to worry about slipping, sliding, clicking, or other negative side effects that one would have with ill-fitting dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ceramic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ceramic is a material that is commonly used to create dental restorations. It is made from a type of clay that is hardened with heat. It is an ideal option to create artificial teeth thanks to its durability and natural appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dental crown is usually placed on a damaged tooth or the adjacent teeth of a missing tooth or dental bridge. However, when you get a dental implant, a dental crown is attached to the dental implant via the abutment. This keeps it stable and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implant Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentures are the tried and tested way of addressing tooth loss. Implant dentures have become popular in recent years because they bring some of the greatest benefits of both dentures and dental implant together in a single restoration. Instead of being held in place by the shape and suction of the mouth, implant dentures are supported by dental implants. This allows patients with more extensive tooth loss to enjoy a tooth replacement option that is both stable and long-lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osseointegration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term comes from the Greek and Latin words that mean \u201cbone\u201d and \u201cto make whole.\u201d Osseointegration is the fusion process in which the titanium implant becomes one with the jawbone. Osseointegration strengthens the bone and supports the dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titanium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Usually, dental implants are made from titanium. This type of metal offers many benefits. For instance, allergies to titanium are very rare, so patients are more likely to have a successful outcome. Titanium is also lightweight, strong, and biocompatible. This allows for strong results that can last for many decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By becoming familiar with these terms and their meanings, you will be able to better understand the dental implant process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
