Dental Implants

What is a Dental Implant?

After remarkable advances in dentistry in recent years, dental implants have become the treatment of choice for people missing one, a few, or all of their teeth, and for those with failing teeth or severe periodontal disease. Dental implants look and perform more like natural teeth. They are rooted in the bone, there is no artificial plastic on the roof of the mouth, and the need for adhesives and denture creams is eliminated. More important, the use of dental implants does not impact healthy, adjacent teeth.

Dental Implants are long-lasting tooth root replacements that our doctors implant into the jawbone to simulate the root of a pre existing tooth. For qualified patients, replacement teeth then can be restored immediately, returning a spectacular smile quickly– usually on the same day. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants don’t move or shift, and they can last a lifetime.

A dental implant designed to replace a single tooth is composed of three parts: the titanium implant that fuses with the jawbone; the abutment, which fits over the portion of the implant that protrudes from the gum line; and the crown and fitted onto the abutment for a natural appearance.
