What Is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are the new gold standard for a variety of applications, from replacing teeth to stabilizing dentures. In this video, Dr. Vahid Bashi discusses their advantages and uses.
A dental implant is a titanium fixture designed to replace missing teeth or provide a stable anchor for dentures. Titanium is chosen for its strength and biocompatibility, meaning it is well-tolerated by the body without causing inflammation or adverse reactions. This material is the same as that used in medical implants for shoulders, joints, knees, and hips, highlighting its durability and safety.
Once placed in the mouth, the implant integrates with the bone tissue, essentially becoming part of the bone. This integration allows the implant to serve as a solid foundation for replacing one or several missing teeth or securing dentures firmly in place, offering a reliable and long-term solution for dental restoration.
