Implants and Implant Crowns
Dental implants are a durable, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth and providing stable support for dentures or bridges. Surgically placed titanium roots fuse with the jawbone, restoring your smile, chewing, speech, and facial structure. The implant process involves several visits for imaging, surgery, healing, and fitting the artificial tooth.
Components of a Dental Implant:
Implant
A screw-like post, typically made of titanium, that is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
AbutmentA connector that attaches to the implant and extends above the gum line to support the replacement tooth
Implant Crown
The artificial tooth that is attached to the abutment, designed to look and function like a natural tooth.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
Natural Look and Feel:
Implants look and function like natural teeth, improving your smile and confident
Improved Chewing and Speaking:
They allow for normal eating and speaking, unlike some other tooth replacement options
Bone Preservation:
They help prevent bone loss in the jaw that can occur when teeth are missing.
No Damage to Adjacent Teeth:
Unlike some other options, implants don't require grinding down healthy teeth for support.
Proper care and regular visits help maintain implants and crowns for lasting results.
