Implants & Implant Restorations
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth. They are an excellent option for replacing missing teeth because they look and function like natural teeth.
- Consultation: The patient will have a consultation with a dentist or dental implant surgeon to determine if they are a good candidate for the procedure. The dentist will also discuss the different types of implant options and the plan for the patient’s individual case.
- Surgery: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. After the implant has been placed, the bone around the implant will need time to heal and fuse to the implant. This process is called osseointegration and can take several months.
- Abutment: Once the implant has integrated with the bone, an abutment, or connector post, will be placed on top of the implant.
- Restoration: The final step is the placement of the dental prosthetic, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, on top of the abutment.
Dental implants have a high success rate and can last for many years with proper care and maintenance. They are a great option for patients who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons. Dental implants can improve the patient’s ability to chew and speak properly, as well as improve the appearance of the smile.
It’s important to note that not everyone is a candidate for dental implants. Factors such as poor oral health, medical conditions, and insufficient jawbone density can affect the success of the procedure. A consultation with a dentist/dental implant surgeon is necessary to determine if dental implants are a good option for the individual case.
In conclusion, dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth. They are an excellent option for replacing missing teeth because they look and function like natural teeth. The procedure involves the surgical placement of the implant, the healing process and the placement of abutment and the final restoration. They have a high success rate and can last for many years with proper care and maintenance. It’s important to note that not everyone is a candidate for dental implants and a consultation with a dentist/dental implant surgeon is necessary to determine if dental implants are a good option.
