Dental Implants and Your Jawbone
Dental implants tend to be the best way to replace a lost tooth. They work very well if a person wants to restore a tooth while maintaining the natural appearance and function of their own tooth. Dentures or bridges can also be good choices to replace a missing tooth, but they do not offer similar durability and strength. Implants can also improve your jawbone.
Integration with Jawbone
Osteointegration, the process of the implants fusing with the bone, helps make dental implants incredibly sturdy. Most implants have a titanium post, and titanium is biocompatible. When this post is placed into one’s jawbone, the bone and metal bond. The dental implant is supported the same way that the original tooth’s root was. This means that the implant and crown will be as strong and functional as the original tooth, if not stronger.
