Dental implants are a modern alternative to a missing tooth. They are the gentlest in the long run solution for the restoration of various defects of the dentition – from a missing tooth to completely edentulous jaws, as well as impaired masticatory function after tooth loss and aesthetics.
Implants are titanium screw supports with a specific shape, which are wound at the site of the defect and are particularly suitable for integration into human bone. This can be done immediately after the tooth is extracted or later, if additional bone treatment is needed. Once placed in the jaw, they fuse with the surrounding tissues and act as a permanent replacement for the tooth roots, i.e., they become a stable support for one or more specially made artificial teeth.
