Dental implants provide a unique opportunity to restore a patient's dental health. It allows him to appear with strong and beautiful teeth, like natural teeth. Along with the confidence to have an attractive and wonderful smile. It also helps reduce the occurrence of problems within the stomach and intestines due to insufficient chewing of food, due to lack of teeth. Dental implants depend on the placement of three main things: the screw, the abutment, and the crown. We will take a look at how to use these three things to restore a beautiful smile. Solve the patient's digestion problem.

Dental implant:

The screw is implanted in the place of the missing tooth. The implant acts as a solid base to stabilize the new tooth. Then the abutment is placed on it and then finally covered with a crown (which is an artificial tooth) that replaces the missing tooth. The screws are usually made of titanium, where an incision is made in the gum. Then drill a hole in the jawbone to place the screw. It may be necessary to perform an artificial or autologous bone graft if there is insufficient bone, or if there is weakness in the jawbone due to an injury that would lead to the loss of the original teeth. Once the hole is drilled in the jaw, the titanium implant is inserted into the bone, and the incision is then sutured. The area is then left to heal. After the gums heal, it is ensured that the implant is stable enough to move to the stage of placing the abutment and crown.

Prop:

After the implant area has completely healed, another incision is made, and the abutment is tightened and fixed in the middle of the implant. Knowing that the stent is also made of titanium. After this procedure, the area is left to fully heal for a few days, and the bracket will be slightly protruding above the gum. A temporary crown can be placed over the abutment or a denture can be used over it during the second stage of healing.

Crown placement:

We come to the final part of dental implants, which is placing the crown on the abutment. The doctor takes an idea of ​​the shape of the surrounding teeth, to make a crown that matches the shapes of the existing teeth during the recovery period during the previous two stages. If the tooth that the patient will have implanted is one of the front teeth, the doctor will match the color of the crown as closely as possible to the color of the natural teeth, to give him a smile that shows uniform color consistency. The crown is then attached to the abutment to complete the implantation procedure.
