Despite maintaining a good oral hygiene and brushing daily, people around the world still loosing their teeth, either from decays, gum diseases, systemic disease or accidents and trauma.
In the past, the options for replacing the missing tooth or teeth were limited to bridges and dentures, but now with the huge developments in the field of dentistry the story is different, now the dental implants is available, dental implant is replacement for the root or roots lost which is placed in your mouth in the bone and used to hold the crown or bridge which is the replacement of your lost tooth or teeth, but how the implant or the artificial root is secured inside the bone?
The material which is used in dental implant is titanium which is light, strong and most important bio-compatible, bio-combatability means that the body will not reject this material and consider it foreign material.

The titanium fuse to the bone by process called

Osseointegration where Osseo refers to bone

and integration refers to fusing and joining and

this is the basis for the success of the dental

implant.

•  Improve your appearance, your teeth will look and feel exactly like normal teeth

       since it is integrated to the bone.

•  It will also improve your speech and self esteem.
