Replacing a lost tooth with a dental implant can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life and health.[/vc_column_text][tm_spacer size=”lg:22″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown” css=””]Dental implant systems consist of a dental implant body and dental implant abutment and may also include an abutment fixation screw. The dental implant body is surgically inserted in the jawbone in place of the tooth’s root. The dental implant abutment is usually attached to the implant body by the abutment fixation screw and extends through gums into the mouth to support the attached artificial teeth.[/vc_column_text][tm_spacer size=”lg:22″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown” css=””]

As well as helping with your confidence and ability to eat, implants also help to avoid issues caused by missing teeth such as loss of bone density and your remaining teeth moving due to lack of support.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][tm_spacer size=”lg:37″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown” css=””]
A dental implant is used to support one or more false teeth. It is a titanium screw that can replace the root of a tooth when it fails. Just like a tooth root, it is placed into the jawbone.
