Dental implant is the surgical component placed inside a jaw bone to support dental prosthesis. The implant is usually made of titanium and acts as an anchor for an artificial tooth. The abutment connects the crown to the dental implant. The crown is custom made to fit the person's mouth and match the color of the teeth. A dental implant can support a bridge, crown or denture.
An implant supported bridge is a dental prosthetic that is used to replace two or more missing teeth. This type of bridge doesn't need the dentist to reduce the neighboring teeth on each side of the bridge.

Brush the teeth twice a day and floss each day. Taking good care of the teeth is important for maintaining the dental implant.

There are many types of material can be used for dental restoration, like Zirconia, Emax, Full Cast Crown etc. Some patients need to use removable denture, it's made of resin, metal frame or other attachments. You'd better talk to dentist to choose affective restoration method and right material.
At the very beginning when patients wear the denture who just finished the restoration, he may feel a bit uncomfortable, it takes some time to get used to the new denture when put it into the mouth. We suggest to wear dentures all the time to check whether need to adjust the occlusal force, after adjusted, users can get used to new denture quickly and it won't affect daily chewing when eating food.
