The purpose of a dental implant is to provide a person who has lost a tooth with a replacement tooth that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth, giving them back the ability to chew and smile with confidence, knowing that their teeth will look natural and their facial contours will be the same, very natural. The implants are made of titanium and are inserted into the bone where the tooth is missing. The bone fuses with the titanium and forms a strong structure that supports the artificial tooth.
Implant-supported prostheses
This type of denture is for people who have lost all their teeth and have neither stability (they fall out) nor functionality (they cannot eat). There are two types, fixed and removable: The fixed ones are screwed to the implants by means of screws and can only be removed by the dentist. The removable ones work as a clasp and the patient can remove them at will.
