Replacing a missing tooth is crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing further dental issues. When a tooth is missing, it can lead to shifting of the surrounding teeth, bone loss in the jaw, and difficulty chewing and speaking. To restore the function and aesthetics of the smile, dentists employ various techniques to replace missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures.
Dental implants are considered the most advanced and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Implants involve surgically placing a titanium screw into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, providing a natural-looking and fully functional replacement tooth.
