A dental implant can replace a missing tooth or teeth. It is made up of two parts, a titanium screw that replaces the lost root, and is placed directly into the jawbone, and a crown that attaches to the screw and fills the missing tooth space.
After the implant screw is/ are placed it takes time for the jawbone to grow and integrate (fuse) to the implant screw. This can take a few months, and a ‘healing cap’ is usually placed onto the implant site to protect it.
Talk to your dentist who will be happy to refer you to an experienced implantologist for assessment and treatment options.
Remember to ask:
Dental implants last a long time once placed and if maintained well.
