For years dentures and bridges were used to replace a missing tooth. But, with enhancing technology dental implants are now considered the best treatment for missing tooth. Implants are artificial tooth roots used as a replacement for the missing one. The dental implant consists of three-part. A screw-like implant is inserted into the root. This also acts as an anchor for abutment and crown. An abutment is connected artificial crown and implant to each other and lastly crown inserted above abutment. Since all patients have different tooth color, crowns need to be customized for each patient. They look like and act like a natural tooth.

Firstly, patients with healthy gums and jawbones are good candidates for dental implants. Because of jawbones provide support for implants, there must be enough bone to hold the implant. Mostly, everyone with good general health can undergo dental implant treatment. But certain health conditions might be a problem for implants. Cancer patients who get radiation or chemotherapy treatment may have poor outcomes during implant treatment. Additively, patients who take some medications like steroids or immune system suppressing drugs are considered not suitable candidates. Heavy smokers, diabetes or osteoporosis patients, patients who have behavioral or psychiatric disorders, and people with parafunctional habits like clenching or tooth grinding are carried a higher risk of implant failing.
