Our highly skilled oral surgeons are available to answer questions such as, What are dental implants? Often a friendly consultation with a trained professional is all that is needed to put your mind at rest. Dental implants are a very effective way of replacing lost teeth and they function in the same way as a natural tooth would.
A dental implant is a permanent fixture in the jaw line. Many people find that this is a very good alternative to dentures, dental bridges, or just leaving a gap in the teeth. A dental implant consists of three parts. These are the implant screw, the abutment, and the crown.
The im
plant screw: This is made from titanium which is safe and extremely robust. The screw is fitted into the jaw bone and over time this fuses together to create a strong and stable bond.
The abutment: The abutment is used to connect the crown to the implant screw. This can be made of various materials including, titanium, stainless steel, gold, or zirconia.
The crown: The crown is the final part of the implant. This emulates the tooth and is the only part of the dental implant that is visible. The crown is usually made from a tooth coloured material. However, it could be fitted with a gold crown for aesthetic reasons.
