What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a restoration option that replaces an entire tooth from root to crown. This service has become increasingly popular because it offers a permanent and durable option to those who are missing teeth. Dental implants are available in a variety of configurations, including crowns to replace a single missing tooth, bridges that replace multiple teeth in a row, and implant-supported dentures which can replace an entire arch of teeth. Regardless of how many teeth you are missing or how the teeth were lost, we will treat you with the respect and genuine care you deserve.
Dental implants are unique in the array of benefits they provide. Since they replace an entire tooth from root to crown, the artificial tooth root continues to stimulate your jaw, which prevents bone loss and improves stability and bite function. They are also permanent because the titanium post fuses with your jaw, so even if the crown were to become chipped or lost, only the crown would need to be replaced instead of the entire implant.
Our Dental Implant Procedure
When you visit our dental practice for implant restorations, you will discover our team has combined modern technology and a gentle chairside manner to maximize your comfort. We begin with a thorough oral exam, complete with careful evaluation of your teeth, jaws, and gums. If we notice your bone is too thin or brittle to support a dental implant, then we may perform a bone graft or sinus lift to strengthen your jaw.
Our dentist can also perform precision extractions if needed.
We will then create a custom plan to restore your smile with an implant-supported crown, bridge, or dentures. We use every resource available to ensure the plan we craft will result in a successful dental restoration. For more complex cases or instances involving molars, our dental office offers a mobile CBCT service that can collect these precise images through a quick visit to our office or your home.
Once any pretreatments have been completed, our dentist will place the titanium post, which acts as the artificial tooth root, into your jaw. You will need to take time to heal and allow the post to fuse with the jawbone, a process called osseointegration. Then you will return to our office to receive your custom crown, bridge, or dentures which will boost your overall oral health and enhance the appearance of your smile.
Types of Dental Restorations
Each dental restoration renews the strength and function of your missing teeth. The various types of implant-supported restorations we offer include:
- Crowns replace a single tooth and can be configured to fit the form and function of any missing tooth, from canines to molars.
- Dental bridges replace multiple missing teeth in a row. This prosthetic is a single restoration that uses two dental implants as support instead of your natural teeth like a traditional bridge.
- Partial and full dentures can be configured to replace any number of missing teeth or even an entire arch of missing teeth.
