what are dental implants?

Dental implants are a modern and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Designed to mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth, dental implants are a long-lasting option for restoring your smile and maintaining oral health.​ Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional performance comparable to natural teeth. They serve as replacement tooth roots, providing a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable prosthetics that are designed to match your natural teeth.

​

why replace missing teeth?

When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can shift into the empty space, altering your bite and making it more difficult to chew properly. Opposing teeth may also begin to extrude or grow out of their sockets, potentially leading to further tooth loss. Additionally, these changes can create hard-to-clean areas where plaque and tartar can accumulate, increasing the risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease. Replacing missing teeth is crucial to maintaining proper oral function and health.

fixed single and multiple tooth implants

Dental implants are cylinders surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Attaching a replacement tooth to an implant allows for the restoration of missing teeth without the need to alter adjacent natural teeth, as is often required with traditional bridges. This approach preserves the strength and integrity of your remaining teeth. Implants and their accompanying porcelain crowns are designed to be virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, providing a secure fit that maintains normal chewing and speaking functions.

​

a dental implant consists of three main components:

  1. The Implant Post: A small, medical grade screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone. This post acts as an artificial tooth root, fusing with the bone over time in a process called osseointegration. This provides a strong and stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

  2. The Abutment: A connector placed on top of the implant post, serving as a base for the final restoration.

  3. The Crown: A custom-made artificial tooth that is secured to the abutment. It is designed to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, creating a seamless and natural appearance.

implant-supported dentures

For individuals with loose or uncomfortable dentures, dental implants can offer a more stable solution. By placing multiple implants and connecting them with a bar, a new upper or lower denture can be securely attached using special snap-on attachments. This method prevents the denture from rocking or shifting while still allowing for easy removal at home for cleaning. Implant-supported dentures help distribute biting forces more evenly, reduce pressure on the underlying bone and nerves, and can prevent the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth removal.

​

Dental implants are suitable for most adults in good health, but a consultation is necessary to determine if they’re the right option for you. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, implants can restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
