The popularity of dental implants in Orlando, FL, has piqued the interest of many. A dental implant is a combination of both science and art. It uses advanced technology to make the implants durable, and it’s carefully designed to replicate the color, shape, and size of natural teeth so that when you wear them, they become a permanent part of your mouth. Patients love dental implants because they are comfortable to wear, long-lasting, and help boost oral health.
Did you know that dental implants have been around for a long time? They were first invented in 1965 by doctor Per-Ingvar Branemark. Over the years, the concept of dental implants evolved, and numerous improvements have been made, providing comfort, durability, and functionality unlike any other. Studies show that dental implant surgery is a safe and effective method of replacing missing teeth.
A dental implant is a long-term solution to tooth loss. It is a metal rod shaped in the form of a screw. It is placed directly into your jawbone through surgery.
Contrary to popular belief, a dental implant is not a tooth but is a post designed to mimic the function of tooth roots. Anchored to the post is a connector called an abutment. Attached to the abutment is a dental crown. Dental implants can also support dentures and bridges.
The post can be made of metal or zirconia. If patients develop an allergic reaction to titanium (which is rarely the case), they may opt for Zirconia. The dental crown can be made of porcelain, ceramic, or metal.
