Implant Dentistry

In the distant past it was common to lose most of your teeth at an early age. Now although this is less common there are many reasons why people still lose their teeth, these ranging from trauma, tooth decay, gum disease or simply old age. Whatever be the reason for losing your teeth, they need to be replaced, both for aesthetic and functional reasons. Earlier the only options available were dentures and bridges. Today, however Implant Dentistrys are becoming popular as the most sought after treatment option as they provide long term solutions by preserving the bone and surrounding healthy tissue.

  • A implant dentistry is an artificial substitute for root portion of the natural tooth. It is usually made of titanium metal which is biocompatible, i.e. it is well tolerated by the tissues.
  • They are a simple, secure and permanent solution for missing teeth.
