Best dental clinic in kovilambakkam - Amethyst Dental & Aesthetics Oral Implantology / Dental Implants This treatment is also known as Tooth or Dental Implant. A natural tooth consists of a crown (the part you see above the gum), and the root (the part hidden under the gum within the jawbone which is only visible in a dental radiograph). When a person has a missing tooth, the dentists have to restore the tooth that comes with a supportive root under the gums. A missing tooth can lead to potential problems if not treated: * Drifting and shifting of the neighbouring teeth causing an unbalanced bite * Increased biting stress on other teeth * Bone recession (bone loss) in the area of the missing tooth * The gap between teeth widens, thereby compromising the aesthetic effect * Losing your natural smile Contact us Amethyst Dental & Aesthetics
