What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the most important element in implant dentistry. These are screws that are implanted into the jaw bone so that the dentist can attach dentures to them.

Essentially, a dental implant is a stable base for artificial teeth.

Implant-supported dentures and bridges feel much closer to natural teeth than conventional bridges or dentures.

Dental implantation has pros and cons and, like any type of treatment, has a number of contraindications. However, the undoubted advantage of an implant over dental bridges is that it allows the adjacent teeth to be preserved and not ground down to hold the new tooth in place.

In addition, dental implants prevent a person's healthy teeth from moving, their bite changing, or the appearance of nasolabial folds. After implantation, your chewing functions are completely restored.

However, to speed up engraftment, manufacturers use various coatings. However, to speed up engraftment, manufacturers use various coatings. For example, titanium oxide coating enriched with phosphate is considered high-quality.

In terms of design, cone-shaped implants with grooves on the surface are considered the best option in many cases. Their shape allows you to accelerate the formation of bone tissue around the implant.

Types of dental implants according to design shape and installation technology:

• Root-shaped - the most popular, widely used when there is a large volume of bone tissue
• Plate implants - they are installed when the bone width is insufficient;
• Combined implants - have a complex shape and are used for patients with serious defects of the dental system;
• Subperiosteal dental implants - intended for clinical cases with thin bone tissue;
• Endodontic implants - needed by dentists to strengthen or lengthen the root;
• Intramucosal implants do not require screwing into the bone and are used to stabilize prostheses.
