Dental implants are replacements for natural teeth that for some reason are no longer there or are no longer functional. In this way, a device is implanted in the place of the root of the tooth, on which a crown, bridge or denture can then be placed.
What are dental implants?
In cases of dental trauma, tooth decay, or periodontal disease, it may be necessary to replace one or more teeth. That is, in cases of missing teeth or teeth in poor condition that must be extracted or in patients who use removable prostheses. Thus, dental implants consist of a procedure to replace missing teeth with dental implants.
It is generally recommended for older adults or for patients who meet the aforementioned considerations.
