Implantology

single tooth | bone grafts | multiple tooth

Whatever the cause of the problem, the end result of the root of the tooth is removed. Implant therapy is the replacement of the root with an artificial root that is made from titanium or zirconia. The procedure can be used to replace one tooth, several teeth or all the teeth.

When any part of the body is put out of use, it tends to wither away. If we take a tooth away the gum will shrink underneath the bone that used to support the tooth, and the bone will find itself with no reason to remain and will also shrink away.

There are some factors that speed up the bone loss process. One of these is the use of dentures when you clench. This squeezes the blood out of the gum which reduces the blood supplying the bone and causes the accelerated loss of bone. In addition teeth associated with infection may result in faster loss of bone. This is why diseased teeth sooner so that bone loss can be reduced.
