Dental implants are a viable option for those missing one or more teeth. Depending on how many teeth are missing, a person may be treated with a full mouth of dental implants, implant-supported dentures, or just a single dental implant. All dental implants, however, have one or more dental implant posts, regardless of the kind that patients receive.
One essential part of the entire structure of a dental implant is the post. An implanted dental post is firmly fixed in the jaw, functioning like a natural tooth root.
Osseointegration is the process that occurs when the surgically inserted post bonds to the bone of the jaw. This process creates a strong foundation for the new prosthesis (tooth crown) as the jawbone progressively integrates with the dental implant post over several months.
Osseointegration is essential since it stabilizes the dental implant post in the jawbone. This gives the teeth a strong and durable foundation that can last a lifetime if it is taken care of well. Jawbone density is also maintained by the fusion of the jawbone with the dental implant post.
Long-term tooth loss can cause the surrounding bone to gradually degenerate since the absence of dental roots cannot promote bone growth. The dental implant post stimulates the jawbone like natural tooth roots, preventing the patient from losing jawbone density. This helps to preserve the structural integrity of the face.
The abutment, which joins the dental implant post to the tooth crown, is attached to the dental implant post once it has completely fused with the jawbone. The color, form, and size of tooth crowns are custom-made to match the natural teeth. This gives patients more confidence in their smiles.
