What is a dental implant? A dental implant is a titanium root-shaped cylinder that is surgically implanted into the alveolar bone after three to four months, and then a denture is fabricated on top of the artificial root after the root has been cemented into the alveolar bone. Since the artificial root is deeply implanted in the alveolar bone, it can withstand the normal chewing force without the force of natural teeth, and is almost the same as natural teeth in function and aesthetics. Why do we need dental implants? Once you lose your natural teeth, you may experience problems in all aspects of your life. You may feel that your smile is unnatural; you may not be able to eat certain foods, and you may even have less self-confidence than before. If you even lose the roots of your teeth, you may feel discomfort and pain. Whether you’ve just lost a tooth or have lost one for years; even if it’s just one tooth, you understand that you’re losing an important part of your body. But once you learn about dental implant technology, you’ll know that there is always a way to make your life better. Now everything can start over again too! Dental implant technology has evolved to give you the look, feel and function of real teeth.
