What are dental implants made of?

Implants can be made out of titanium or zirconia. Both are biocompatible and inert and illicit no negative response from the immune system.

How do the implants stay in place?

Dental implants must be entirely placed into bone. The body undergoes a process called osseointegration whereby new bone cells grow around the threads of the dental implant ensuring stability. Pain free dentist mosman

What if I don’t have sufficient bone to house an implant?

The limiting factor in implant dentistry is the volume of bone present. Implants do come in a range of sizes to accommodate differences in bone volume however if insufficient bone is present then various options exist to augment the native bone to support an implant.

How are crowns, bridges or dentures attached to an implant?

Analogous to a rawl plug in the wall used in DIY to retain a screw, the dental implant attaches to a screw that supports either an abutment upon which a crown is cemented or a screw retained crown, bridge or denture.
