Dental Implants in Melbourne

Dental and Tooth Implant in Melbourne When you experience tooth loss due to diseases, trauma or decay, the root of your original tooth will also become infected and bone resorption can occur, leaving you with a gap between your remaining teeth. Dental implants basically function as an artificial tooth root that replaces the original root. And once a tooth implant has been surgically placed into your jawbone, it will provide maximum support for crowns or bridges. What Is Involved In A Dental Or Tooth Implant Treatment• There are 3 main parts that make up a tooth implant. The Implant The tooth implant itself is usually made out of titanium or titanium alloy to make it extremely sturdy biocompatible and long-lasting. It is surgically inserted into the jawbone where the void exists. The Abutment The second part placed above the first tooth implant is called an abutment. It can be made out of titanium, gold or even porcelain. A screw is used to attach the tooth implant and abutment together, and connects the implant to the crown. The Restoration In this case, restoration literally means the act of restoring your ‘tooth’ (crown) into your ‘artificial root’ (the tooth implant and abutment). A crown is made out of porcelain fused to metal alloy (PFM), or it could also be manufactured to be fully porcelain or completely metal. It will then be either screwed or cemented onto the abutment.
