Dental Implants in Nairobi
Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums.
What is an Implant?
A dental implant is a metal post (made of titanium) surgically placed in the jawbone to replace the root portion of a missing tooth. An artificial tooth (crown) is then placed on to the implant giving the look of a real tooth.
Dental Implants provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures
Basis for Dental Implants
Titanium forms an intimate bond to the bone via a biologic process called osseointegration. The bond provides a stable support for artificial tooth (crown), a bridge or denture to be mounted on to the implant.
