Scaling and Root Planing
A dental implant is made of pure titanium and shaped like a screw. The implant is placed into the jawbone and serves as a secure root for the new tooth. Once in place, the implant can be used to attach different types of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges or dentures. Dental implants are the permanent way for you to replace your missing teeth. Research and documentation show long-lasting results. Hundreds of thousands of people are now enjoying their new looks and their ability to laugh, speak and eat with confidence! A single crown on an implant is generally the best way to restore your chewing function and natural appearance. A bridge or crowns supported by several implants will restore your functions and looks. A full bridge supported by implants or a denture retained by implants are the options available to you: - A full bridge is fixed to five or more implants and can only be removed by the dentist. - The implant supported denture is connected via attachments to two or more implants, allowing easy removal. When in place, the denture is firmly attached to the implants and there is no risk of it coming loose. Your exact treatment depends on your individual situation and personal preference. The type and amount of bone, as well as, functional conditions will all play a role in the best treatment option for you.
