| About implants |
|
The Success of dental implants is based upon one ingenious discovery
made in the early 1950s by Swedish scientist, professor Per-Ingvar
Brånemark: pure titanium, a very strong
and lightweight metal, will integrate with the natural jaw bone
tissue, thereby creating a platform for permanent teeth
replacements. |

Dental implants - a "natural"
solution
Dental implants are the preferred replacement for lost teeth. As
anchors in the jawbone, dental implants form a stable foundation
for permanent attachment of the crown; grinding of adjacent
teeth does not take place, and since implants act as "artificial
dental roots" by transmitting the chewing forces into the jaw,
implants help to preserve the bone.
|
| A single implant as root substitute is the most
elegant way of achieving a cosmetically ideal closure of the gap. In
jaws with no teeth at all, dental implants are a secure fixation
method for removable full dentures and so spare the patient the
usual disadvantages of conventional "false teeth". |
