Dental implants are designed to act both as an artificial tooth and as an artificial tooth root, meaning that it successfully replaces the visible part of your missing teeth as well as strengthens the jawbone at the site of your implant and prevents future bone loss. The implant post bonds with the natural bone to create a stable foundation for your restoration. Depending on your oral health and needs, our dentists may recommend you have your damaged tooth or teeth removed from the area or your jawbone reinforced with a bone graft before beginning the implant procedure.
A good candidate for a dental implant is someone who:
- Has one or more missing teeth.
- Has a strong, health jawbone.
- Has healthy oral tissues and is free of periodontal disease
- Does not smoke tobacco
The implant procedure is split into two parts. In the first part, your implant post is surgically inserted into your jawbone. The post is given time to integrate with the natural bone in a process called osseointegration during a post-surgery healing period, and then our dentists will place your abutment post, which connects your implant post with your restoration, and work with you to design a dental restoration that fulfills all your dental health needs. This may be a single dental crown, a dental bridge, or a full or partial implant-supported denture. Whatever the restoration, we will make sure it is custom made to fit your smile securely and comfortably.
