A dental implant is basically a titanium screw, which is placed in the jaw bone to replace the root of a missing tooth. The process of performing a tooth implant is quite technique sensitive and should be done by only highly qualified and experienced dental implant specialists in India.
We consider an implant the best replacement for a missing tooth because:
It is the most conservative replacement for a missing tooth, as the adjacent teeth are not touched, unlike in a bridge.
It is the only replacement for a missing tooth which stabilizes the underlying bone.
It is as good as a natural tooth in terms of efficiency of chewing, looks and ease in speech.
If maintained by the patient, the implant can last a lifetime.
