1. What is dental implant? Dental implants, also known as implant dentures, are the most advanced dental implant technology for treating missing teeth. The implants are placed in the alveolar bone of the missing tooth area with a pure titanium biological metal artificial root (generally called implants), and after the implant is firmly bonded to the bone, the missing tooth is restored on the implant. Compared with the traditional dental implant method, dental implants are closer to the function and feeling of natural teeth, and are known as the “third set of human teeth” after the milk teeth and permanent teeth. 2. What are the advantages of dental implants? (1) Dental implants are similar to natural teeth in form, function and feeling, and meet the normal physiological requirements. (2) It has an independent artificial root, which does not need to wear the adjacent real teeth and protects the patient’s healthy teeth to the greatest extent. (3) It can restore the maximum chewing function, which is much better than traditional removable dentures. (4) Effectively prevent the alveolar bone from continuing to shrink after tooth loss. (5) Excellent stability and small size, minimizing the impact of dentures on pronunciation. (6) Realistic aesthetic effect, comfortable and hygienic, easy to use. (7) Can solve the problems that cannot be solved by traditional veneering methods.
