What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that gets surgically inserted into the jaw bone to act as a base for a tooth replacement. Dental implants can be used to replace one or more teeth.

Dental implants provide a stable solution to missing teeth, because they are surgically anchored to your jaw bone, allowing the replacement to be permanently anchored to your jaw bone, as opposed to the many removable options. This can make every day activities such as chewing and speaking easier.

Additionally, dental implants can help preserve your oral health. By replacing missing teeth and their roots, you can prevent the teeth surrounding the gap from shifting.

Implants can also help resolve bite issues and jaw joint pain, as well as restore facial tissues and appearance.

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

When a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth can start to shift into the empty space, which may lead to alignment problems. Over time, the bone in that area can also begin to break down, reducing support for nearby teeth and potentially leading to additional tooth loss.

The Dental Implant Process

A dental implant consists of two main components: a small titanium screw that serves as the root and a separate abutment that connects the implant to the custom-made crown (artificial tooth).

The process starts with your dentist surgically placing the implant into your jaw bone beneath the gum. As the area heals, the implant gradually fuses with the bone to create a strong, stable foundation.

It can take anywhere from three to six months to heal from this surgery. Once you are healed, you'll come back to our office to finish the treatment.

At that point, your dentist will place a custom-made tooth replacement, like a crown or denture, on top of the implant, giving you a natural-looking tooth that looks and feels much like the real thing.
