4. Creating the Abutment
After the process of osseointegration, an abutment, which is a small connector, will be attached
to the implant. It acts as the only connecting point between the implant and artificial tooth.
5. Final Restoration
The last step is placing a custom crown, bridge, or denture onto the abutment. This restoration
is designed to be similar in shape, size, and color to your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are unique because they offer several unmatched advantages compared to
other alternatives for tooth replacement. Some of the benefits include:
1. Restored Functionality
Dental implants let you eat, talk, and smile with ease. Unlike regular dentures that shift or
become sore, the dental implants remain fixed and firm.
2. Improved Aesthetics
As implants are crafted to resemble the look of the original teeth, dental implants beautify your
smile. The custom crowns will not be distinguished from the original tooth, which provides a
flawless look.
3. Preservation of the Bone
One of the most important advantages of implants is that they can prevent bone loss. When a
tooth is lost, the jawbone starts to deteriorate because it does not receive any stimulation.
Implants stimulate the bone, thus preserving its structure and preventing a sunken facial
appearance.
4. Long-Term Durability
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike bridges or dentures that may need
frequent adjustments or replacements, implants are a long-term investment in oral health.
