Dental implants are able to replace missing teeth by acting as a fixture which first replaces the root of a missing tooth. Then, a bridge or replacement tooth can be securely fixed on top of the dental implant to look, act and feel as if it were a natural tooth. Dental implants are secure thanks to a process known as \u201cosseointegration.\u201d This term is used to describe the process for the fusion between the dental implants and the jawbone. This fusion allows the replacement tooth to closely mimic how a natural tooth works because it allows the new tooth to stand on its own without affecting any of the existing teeth, which also gives the new tooth stability. In addition, dental implants tend to be made of titanium, which has the advantage of the body not recognising it as a foreign object, which allows them to integrate with bone more easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though their main function is for replacing missing or severely damaged teeth, dental implants can also sometimes be used to assist with other treatments. For example, the stability of dental implants makes them useful for some removable denture treatments, so they can fit more comfortably and securely than they otherwise would. Dental Implants are also sometimes used as temporary anchorage devices (also known as TADs) to help move teeth to a different position in the mouth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Losing a tooth can be a traumatic experience on both an emotional and physical level.
