Dental implant surgery is a treatment to replace lost natural teeth by using implants made of metal or special materials, shaped like screws, which are embedded into the jawbone. Once the treatment is completed, the dental implants can support crowns or bridges, functioning similarly to natural teeth.

1. Replaces natural teeth:
Helps fill the gap left by missing teeth, making it look and function like natural teeth.

2. Avoids removable dentures:
Replaces the need for dentures that may not fit well or may be loose.

3. No need to prepare natural teeth:
Unlike bridges, which require filing down adjacent teeth.

4. Strong and durable material:
Dental implants are made from titanium or zirconia, which integrate well with the jawbone and cannot decay.

5. Integrates with bone:
Dental implants are embedded in the jawbone and securely attached, providing a stable base for prosthetic crowns.

6. High-quality materials:
Titanium: Ideal for those without metal allergies.
Zirconia: For those allergic to metal, offering a safer option.

7. Functions like natural teeth:
Does not shift or loosen, and can withstand chewing and daily use.

8. Reduces the risk of decay:
The materials used are not susceptible to decay or deterioration like natural teeth.

1. Clean your mouth regularly:

• Brush your teeth twice a day with an interdental toothbrush.
• Use dental floss or an interdental brush to remove plaque and food particles.

2. Visit the dentist regularly:

• Have regular check-ups to monitor your teeth and dental implant health as scheduled.

3. Avoid risky behaviors:

• Avoid chewing hard foods, such as ice or bones.
• Refrain from smoking to reduce the risk to your gums and dental implants.
• Avoid drinks that cause stains, such as tea and coffee.

4. Prevent teeth grinding:

• If you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, consult with your dentist to find preventive solutions.
