Dental implants are titanium metal frames & ceramic materials that are surgically positioned into your jawbone like the root of your tooth by a trained general dentist or specialized oral surgeon – “Periodontist” or “Implantologist“. Replacement teeth – dentures, bridges and crowns are fixed over the implants to blend with your existing teeth. Dental implants are the replacement for traditional dentures & the main advantage is that they are firmly fit as they are fused with your jawbone and hence they are non removable. You can speak and eat normally. Traditional dentures are replacement for several teeth while the dental implants can be opted for specific tooth for a natural look and feel.
