Hybrid Mandible

What does the hybrid mandible show?

A dental implant is an artificial substitute/replacement for the root portion of your natural tooth. The implant anchors into a pre-drilled socket in your jaw-bone. Then supporting a crown, bridge or securing a denture firmly in place. Titanium, a material well tolerated by bone and easily integrating with bone tissue, is used to make implants.

During the placement of a dental implant, the goal is to achieve a close contact between the outer surface of the implant and the surrounding bone tissue so they can “fuse” together (osseointegration), creating a stable support for the new teeth.
