In youth and in a certain age, periodontal disease, caries, or other diseases might lead to losing teeth. In this case, dental implants might be the ideal option for the patient to regain their smile and chewing capability.

A dental implant is, briefly, a replacement of the root of a tooth, presenting a form similar to a screw. It is made of titanium coated with a special surface treatment which makes it possible for the bone tissue to bond to the implant surface. Time of healing varies from patient to patient, but it usually it takes from 8 to 12 weeks. After that, the prosthetic structure (crown, bridge or fixed denture) is applied.

Oral rehabilitations made with implants have very similar characteristics to natural teeth, which is a very important fact.
