What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed in the jaw to replace missing teeth. Dental implants consist of three main components: the post, the abutment, and the prosthetic restoration. The post is placed directly into the jaw where the missing tooth once was, replacing the tooth's root with a material that fuses to the surrounding bone. An abutment secures the prosthetic in place and completes the replacement. Once healed, a dental restoration is attached to the implant to replace the visible part of the tooth. Dental implants function much like natural tooth roots, helping to maintain jaw structure and providing a stable, natural-feeling replacement.

Dental Restoration Options

Healthy smiles allow us to eat and speak with confidence. Missing teeth can alter the way we eat and impact our ability to perform everyday tasks that we often take for granted. Replacing missing teeth is essential for preserving oral health and improving overall quality of life. Tooth replacement options supported by dental implants include:

Crowns: Single-unit crowns replace a missing tooth at any point in the smile. If you're missing even one tooth, replacement could mean preserving alignment and keeping your smile healthy and beautiful.
Bridges: Implant-supported bridges replace an entire quadrant of missing teeth. Using up to three implants, a supported bridge offers an alternative, permanent solution to a partial denture.
Fixed & Removable Dentures: Removable and fixed implant-supported dentures are an innovative way to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Using anywhere from four to eight implants, our dentist can completely restore an entire smile using a reliable, lifelike prosthetic.

Benefits of Teeth Reconstruction

If you're without teeth for any period of time, the jaw goes through a process of accelerated resorption, atrophying at an accelerated rate. Leaving the space empty also encourages teeth to move out of alignment and affect other teeth. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is a dependable option for preserving oral health. Patients who replace missing teeth with dental implants benefit from improved jaw strength, greater overall health, and extended longevity compared to traditional options.
