What are Dental Implants?
When there’s no way left to save a tooth or there’s need to occupy an empty space in the mouth, a Dental Implant is the way forward. In simpler terms, it’s a safe “screw” like appliance that’s inserted inside the space and left for a period of 3-4 months. The mechanics is such that an external component facilitates growth of natural bone around the Implant this, making an external appliance a near internal one. In a nutshell this is an implant, after appropriate bone grows, a Cap is cemented on top of this.
