As is known to all, dental replacement should be sought in a timely manner after tooth loss. Is there any dental restoration that requires no abrasion of tooth enamel? 

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, dental implant is a nice option for restoring missing tooth, without removing any tooth enamel. As long as your indications are suitable for dental implant, then the procedure can be sought.

    Nowadays there are three ways available for repairing missing teeth, including removable denture, fixed denture and dental implant. The former two methods both require removing certain amount of enamel, while dental implant doesn’t need to. 

    Implant surgery refers to shaping a hole for placing an artificial root on exactly where the tooth has lost, followed by stitches. After the root firmly integrates into alveolar bone, an abutment serving as a connector and a dental crown will be installed to complete the whole procedure. Being independent to adjacent teeth, the implant tooth is supported by an artificial tooth root which is rather stable once it has integrated with alveolar bone. Furthermore, it requires no removal of tooth enamel as well. 

    However, not everyone is eligible candidate for dental implant. You should come to seek a thorough check-up first and your dentist will devise a customized treatment plan according to both your dental and overall health. Relevant article: How Much is an Implant Tooth
