Dental Implants 101
Dental implants are permanent, stable tooth replacements that can be used to replace one or more teeth. The dental implant post, which is a screw made of titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. This replaces the missing tooth’s root and ensures that your dental restoration is stable.
A period of healing is required to allow the bone to to bond with the biocompatible post. Following this healing period, one of our skilled dentists will place the dental implant restoration, or replacement tooth, which fits on top of the implant post.
Depending on which teeth are missing and your personal dental needs, your implant restoration might be a dental crown, dental bridge, complete denture, or partial denture. Each dental implant restoration is custom made to fit your smile both comfortably and aesthetically.
The Benefits of Implant Dentistry
Tooth replacement can restore your smile in more ways than just its physical appearance. When you are missing teeth, your jawbone loses density over time and your remaining teeth can shift into the empty space.
Dental implants can help preserve your facial shape and keep your smile looking and feeling its best. They are designed to look, function, and feel just like your natural teeth, and with proper care, it can last a lifetime.
