Dental implants are innovative replacement teeth that consist of three parts: a post, an abutment, and a restoration. The post serves as a prosthetic tooth root and is surgically implanted into the jawbone. After the jawbone has healed around the post, your dentist will attach an abutment that protrudes slightly from the gum line to secure your custom restoration.
For single tooth loss, a single implant and dental crown can create a lifelike replacement. Larger restorations, like dental bridges, partials, and complete dentures, may require more than one implant, depending on the number of teeth roots you’ve lost.
We Can Place And Restore Implants At Our Practice!
The process for restoring your incomplete smile with an implant-held restoration requires multiple procedures. At other locations, this work can be divided between your general dental office and the practice of a specialist, creating more delays in care and making the overall process more complex. Because our dental office is able to schedule placement and restoration procedures on-site, we can make your plans more convenient, giving you an easier path to your restored smile!
Qualifying for Dental Implants
There are several benefits to dental implants, including unmatched support for your replacement teeth, as well as stimulation that keeps your jawbone strong and healthy. However, before you can receive an implant, we will first ensure that your jawbone is healthy and strong enough to support it. Also, your gums must be free of gum disease to prevent periodontal and jawbone erosion that can compromise your dental implant.
