Dental Implants

Dental Implants in Kanpur

A dental implant is a small man-made titanium fixture that serves as a replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Titanium is used because it is the most compatible with human body. The dental implant is placed by a periodontist in the bone of the upper or lower jaw and functions as an anchor for the tooth/teeth being replaced.. After the bone has grown around the implant, implants can hold a crown, bridge or over-denture just like roots hold natural teeth in place.

Implants provide additional support where teeth are missing without putting forces onto remaining natural teeth. Hence we do not cut/prepare adjacent teeth to take their support and give bridge. They may be used to support the replacement of a single missing tooth or a complete functional set for individuals who have lost many or all of their teeth.
