Dental Implants
- Dental Implants -
Dental implants are prosthetic tooth replacements comprising three key components that work together to replace a tooth from root to crown.
The three components that make up a dental implant include:● The Implant Post: These body-safe metal posts are surgically placed into your jawbone, creating a solid foundation for your replacement tooth or other restorative appliance.● The Abutment: Positioned atop the implant post, the abutment serves as an interface between your gum line and restoration.● The Restoration: Crafted from various high-quality materials, these prosthetic teeth can replace single teeth, multiple teeth in a row, or even an entire arch for implant-supported dentures. Our team will discuss the best options for restoration materials and types for your specific situation at your consultation appointment.
In cases where your jawbone has weakened over time due to bone loss caused by missing teeth, our pretreatment services can help solidify and strengthen the implant sites. Our bone graft procedures take a small piece of healthy bone, placing it where you'll receive your implant. With this procedure, we aim to improve the longevity and stability of your dental implant.
Our team also provides gentle extraction services to remove severely damaged teeth or make room for dentures. We'll always discuss any pretreatment needs with you in detail and are happy to answer any questions about the procedures.
We understand choosing a practice for your dental implant procedure is a big decision. That's why we're here to help you feel comfortable about our services by offering information and answering your questions. Some of the common questions we receive include:
We can place dental implants at any age once dental growth is complete, usually around the late teens or early twenties. However, age is less important than overall health and a suitably healthy jawbone.
While gum disease may affect implant success, it doesn't necessarily eliminate the possibility. Our experienced team will assess your gum health and jawbone condition. If gum disease is present, we may recommend treatment before proceeding with implants to provide a strong foundation for a successful, long-lasting outcome.
There is no set number of teeth you need replaced to qualify for dental implants. The number of teeth you have will simply determine what kind of implant-supported restoration we use to complete your smile. We can use dental implants to replace single or multiple teeth up to a full arch.
