Dental implants are small titanium screws, surgically fixed into the jawbone, used to replace the natural root of a tooth and to act as an anchor for artificial teeth.
Implants can be used to replace single missing teeth, support a dental bridge where there is a large gap in the teeth, and even for patients requiring a full-arch dental restoration where all teeth have been lost.
Patients looking for a full jaw dental restoration can either opt for a fixed bridge solution such as Same Day Teeth ‘All-on-4’ or Zygomatic Implants, or removable ‘snap-on’ dentures which can be secured using special attachments that act a bit like a press-stud.
1. Damaged Root
The natural root of a tooth can become damaged due to trauma or decay.
2. Screw
The damaged root is removed and a titanium screw inserted in its place.
3. Abutment
The implanted screw has a threaded head to which an abutment is attached.
4. Crown
An artificial crown, bridge, or denture can then be secured to the abutment(s).
