Dental Implants: A Comprehensive Solution for Tooth Replacement

Dental implant restorations offer the best solution for replacing teeth. This restorative dentistry treatment addresses functional and aesthetic concerns. Dental implants can greatly improve your quality of life by allowing your to chew, speak, and smile with confidence again. With proper care and maintenance, this quality missing teeth treatment will offer a long-lasting and natural-looking solution no matter how many teeth you have lost.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant-secured restoration consists of three main parts: a post, an abutment, and dental restoration.

  • Implant Post: The actual dental implant is a biocompatible titanium screw that a dentist will surgically place into the jawbone. This dental component mimics the function of a natural tooth root. The primary purpose of an implant post is to support the replacement teeth. However, they also help prevent bone loss in the jaw.
  • Abutment: Once the implants fuses to bone, your dentist will affix an abutment to the titanium post. This connector pieve provides a secure connection between the implants and the new dental prosthesis.
  • Dental Restoration: The dental restoration is the actual part that replaces the visible portion of the teeth. Your dentist will craft a custom set of false teeth or a tooth that will blend in with your other remaining teeth. We guarantee that your new dental crown, dental bridge, or denture will match the shape, size, and color of your teeth.

How do Dental Implants Work?

A dentist will insert one to eight dental implants in the jaw. Once secure in the bone, the implant posts will fuse to healthy bone through osseointegration. Once that occurs, there is a strong and durable foundation for your dentist to secure the replacement tooth or teeth.

This unique feature of dental implants sets this tooth replacement solution apart from other tooth replacement options. The dentist will then have a solid anchor to attach a dental restoration. For one lost tooth, your dentist will secure a custom dental crown. The dentist will secure a custom dental bridge or denture for multiple missing teeth, depending on how many teeth you are missing.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer so many advantages over traditional tooth replacement methods. These advantages make them a popular choice among our patients and dental team. Here are some of the key benefits of dental implants:

  • Improved Oral Health
  • Enhanced Aesthetics
  • Increased Comfort and Functionality
  • Long-Lasting and Cost-Effective

Candidates for Dental Implants

While dental implants offer a versatile solution for tooth replacement, not everyone is an ideal patient for them. There are several factors that help our dental team determine if you are eligible or not, including:

  • Adequate bone density and quality in the jawbone to support the implant
  • Good overall oral health, with no active gum disease or untreated tooth decay
  • Commitment to up-keeping oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups
  • No underlying medical problems that could hinder your healing or osseointegration

If you do not have enough bone density or volume, you can choose to have a procedure to build the bone back up. Bone grafts and sinus lifts are standard procedures that help patients qualify for dental implants. A member of our dental team will assess your oral and overall health to see if you require any dental treatments before they can insert dental implants.
