What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into your jawbone to mimic the appearance and function of missing teeth. They serve as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth or teeth. The dental implant typically involves three main components: the implant post (a titanium rod inserted into the jawbone), the abutment (the connector that sits on top of the implant post), and the restoration (the custom-made crown, bridge, or denture, that attaches to the abutment). Our dentist has the experience to offer several implant options to suit your needs, including:
- Fixed Implants: Ideal if you seek a long-term, low-maintenance, and very stable solution for tooth replacement. They are often recommended if you need a permanent and secure solution without needing removal.
- Snap-On Dental Implants: These are a great choice if you prefer the ability to remove and clean your denture or if you do not have enough bone density for a full fixed implant restoration.
Why Might I Need a Tooth Implant?
Tooth implants may be necessary if you have lost a tooth or multiple teeth due to various reasons such as decay, injury, gum disease, or congenital issues. They provide a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring aesthetics and chewing ability to your smile. Without a replacement, the gap left by a missing tooth can cause problems such as difficulty chewing, speaking, or smiling confidently.
Additionally, missing teeth can cause the surrounding teeth to shift, affecting your bite and leading to further dental issues. Our dental implants help preserve the structure of your jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs when you lose a tooth. This can help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth and support your facial appearance.
Our Dental Implant Restoration Options
Our dentist recognizes the versatility of dental implants and offers a range of restoration options tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you're replacing an entire arch of teeth or a single tooth, we provide personalized solutions to restore your smile's function and appearance. Our available treatments include:
- Crowns: When you lose a single tooth, a crown can replace it by attaching securely to an implant, restoring both the function and appearance of your natural tooth.
- Bridges: If you've lost multiple teeth, a bridge can fill the gap, supported by implants on either side of the missing teeth, providing a seamless and strong solution.
- Dentures: For those who've lost several or all teeth, implant-supported dentures offer greater stability than traditional ones, restoring your tooth functionality and comfort.
- All-on-4®: This innovative treatment places an entire arch of teeth on just four implants, enhancing healing time and providing a secure, long-lasting solution. Our dentist will determine if this treatment is right for you.
Pretreatments for Tooth Implants
Our dentist performs pretreatments if your mouth and jaw are not healthy enough to support a dental implant. While saving your natural tooth is always our top priority, if too much damage or decay has occurred, we may need to remove it to make room for your new tooth implant. A bone graft may also be necessary if your jawbone has been weakened or resorbed due to tooth loss or other factors. During a bone graft, we add bone material to your jaw to rebuild and strengthen the area, allowing it to properly support the implant and provide a stable foundation for your new restoration. Our pretreatments aim to enhance oral health and promote the long-term success of your dental implant.
Our Dental Implant Process
Our dental implant process begins with a consultation, where our dentist assesses your oral health and determines if you're a good candidate for an implant. We'll discuss what type of implants you'll need, how long the process will take, and whether you'll need any pretreatments to prepare your smile for a successful dental implant procedure.
Once you're ready, our dentist will use computer-guided surgery to precisely place the dental implant, promoting a smoother and more accurate placement. After the implant is placed, you'll have a healing period that allows the tooth implant to integrate with your jawbone. Once healing is complete, you will return to our office for the final restoration, where your new restoration will be securely attached, completing your smile and restoring full function.
