Dental implants
offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth.
A dental implant is essentially a substitute for
a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder
shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully
drilled at the precise location of the intended
tooth. If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer
surface it can be screwed into position and if it
does not, it is usually tapped into place. The main
aim during installation of any implant is to achieve
immediate close contact with the surrounding bone.
This creates an initial stability, which over time
is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into
microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.
In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants
normally have some form of internal screw thread
or post space that allows a variety of components
to be fitted. Once fitted, these components provide
the foundation for long-term support of crowns,
bridges or dentures. Click
