The mouth is a sensitive area. As a result of poor hygiene, external physical trauma or even genetics, it can give rise to varying degrees of pain and can even be a source of poor self-image. Missing teeth, too much space between teeth (diastema), overcrowding of teeth, temporomandibular joint disorders, jaw injuries, deteriorated gums, mismatch between the upper teeth and the lower teeth are some of the problems that can arise. Reconstructive dental surgery is often required to correct these anomalies.
Dental implant surgery was discovered by Swedish scientist and orthopedic surgeon, Dr. P.I. Brånemark, he found that a titanium implant could naturally bond with bone material.
Dental implants now allow dentists to replace individual teeth, create bridges or to create denture supports that are much more natural and better-fitting than normal dentures.
