Dental Implants
Implants are artificial tooth roots in the jawbone firmly anchored. Mostly, they are helical or cylindrical in shape and have a rough surface, allowing the invasion and the connection with the jaw bone is promoted.
A dental implant takes the same function as the original tooth roots, because it directly with the bone grows. As a result, it firmly seated dentures (e.g., crowns, bridges) or anchored removable dentures. It distinguishes the implant body, the bones will be introduced, and building parts, which crowns or retaining structures for the prosthetic implant body attached.
