What are dental implants? |
 |
Professor Dr.Per-Ingvar Branemark’s first dental implants patient (Gosta Larrson) was treated with titanium implants in 1965. After almost 4 decades of clinical experience,
dental implants have become the method of choice for replacing missing teeth.
Implants replace missing teeth, including the root. They are implanted in the jaw bones in place of missing teeth. After a healing period of about 3 months, the titanium implants will be firmly anchored in the bone. This process is called osseointegration. When the implant is successfully "fused to the bone” an abutment is screwed onto the implant on which a new tooth in the form of a crown is constructed. |
