Dental implants are a surgical procedure where an artificial root is implanted into the jawbone to support a prosthetic tooth in place of a missing natural tooth. The process involves several steps, starting from assessing the condition and planning the treatment, followed by the surgical placement of the implant, waiting for tissue healing, and finally, the placement of the permanent prosthetic tooth.

In the dental implant process, gums and bone play a crucial role in the success of the treatment and the stability of the implant.

• The jawbone serves as the foundation in which the artificial root (implant) is placed. It must have sufficient thickness and density to provide stable support for the implant.
• The gums cover the jawbone and surround the teeth, providing a clean environment that resists infection after the implant.

The integration between gums and bone leads to the formation of gum tissue around the implant post-surgery, and healthy, clean gums are essential for ensuring the success and longevity of the results.

Dental implant procedures require a thorough assessment of the bone and gums before the surgery, along with continuous care and follow-up after the procedure to ensure rapid healing and the optimal success of the implant.
