Traditional root form implants are designed as cylindrical or screw-shaped posts made from biocompatible titanium. They are surgically placed into the jawbone where they fuse with the natural bone through a process called osseointegration. This integration ensures a strong and durable anchor for the replacement tooth or teeth.

Benefits of Traditional Root Form Implants:

• Natural Appearance: They look and feel like natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth.
• Restored Function: Implants restore the ability to chew and speak comfortably, without slippage or discomfort.
• Preserved Bone Health: By stimulating the jawbone, implants help prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.
• Longevity: With proper care, traditional implants can last a lifetime, providing a cost-effective long-term solution.

When Are Traditional Root Form Implants Recommended?

Traditional root form implants are recommended for patients with sufficient jawbone density and height to support the implant. They are suitable for:

• Single Tooth Replacement: Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth.
• Multiple Teeth Replacement: Used to support bridges or partial dentures when multiple adjacent teeth are missing.
• Full Arch Replacement: They can anchor full dentures securely, providing stability and preventing denture slippage.

What to Expect During the Procedure:

The process begins with a comprehensive dental examination and imaging to assess jawbone health and determine the best placement for the implant. Surgical placement involves making an incision in the gum tissue, drilling a hole into the jawbone, and carefully inserting the implant. Over several months, osseointegration occurs, allowing the implant to become firmly anchored in the jawbone.
