Dental implants consist of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for a tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached to it, providing a functional and natural-looking replacement for the missing tooth or teeth.
An underbite is when the lower teeth are in front of the upper teeth when biting.
While dental implant surgery is generally safe, there are risks involved, including infection, damage to surrounding structures, and implant failure. Your dental provider will discuss these risks with you and take precautions to minimize them.
Dental implants can be used as anchor points for braces or orthodontic appliances, providing stable support for orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign aligners can often be worn with temporary dental crowns or fillings, but consult with your orthodontist for personalized advice.
You can consume vitamin water with porcelain veneers, but be mindful of its sugar content and maintain good oral hygiene.
