A dental implant by itself is not a tooth! A dental implant is a prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Essentially, it is a small titanium post/fixture that is inserted into the jawbone, on top of which a single crown (cap), a fixed bridge, a partial denture, or full denture can be attached. Once the implant integrates to your bone, a structure called an abutment is connected to the implant and then the artificial tooth/teeth are attached. Therefore, there are 3 parts to an “implant tooth”: the dental implant itself, the abutment, and the artificial tooth.
Dental implants are a permanent solution to restore missing teeth. They are made a Biocompatible medical grade titanium. The implant is then left to heal and integrate completely to the bone for the next few months. after this healing period, it becomes part of the bone. Once the bone is healed around the implant, a dental implant crown can be attached to the implant with the help of an abutment. Dental implant crowns look and feel identical to natural teeth.Whether patients are missing a single tooth, or require a full smile makeover, Smile Atelier Beverly hills offers a wide variety of treatment options to ensure that every patient needing dental implants gets a beautiful, individualized smile.
