What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a surgical component designed to function as an artificial tooth root. Typically made of titanium, it is placed into the jawbone to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown or bridge. Over time, the implant bonds with the surrounding bone, offering both stability and long-term durability. It consists of three main parts:
- The screw is inserted into the jawbone,
- The abutment is a small connector between the root and the crown,
- The crown is the visible part on top of the implant and it is a functional replacement tooth.
If you lack sufficient bone density for dental implants, two possible options are bone grafting and sinus lifting operations. Bone grafting is the process of transplanting bone material to augment the jawbone, whereas a sinus lift elevates the sinus membrane (a thin tissue layer that separates the sinus from the oral cavity) allowing bone graft material to be inserted to provide a more supportive foundation for the implant.
