What Is Implant Dentistry?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a strong, durable foundation for replacement teeth called restorations. Dental implants consist of three parts: the post, which is surgically placed into your jawbone; the abutment, which connects the post to the restoration; and the restoration, which is your visible new tooth. Our dentist has the experience to offer a variety of restoration options, including:

  • Crowns: If you are missing a single tooth, our crowns are placed on top of dental implants to seamlessly blend with your smile, restoring both appearance and comfort.
  • Bridges: A solution for replacing multiple missing teeth, our bridges are anchored by dental implants, filling the gaps and rebuilding the beauty and strength of your smile.
  • Dentures: If you are missing several teeth or even entire arches of teeth, our dentures offer support and stability while enhancing your smile's beauty and chewing ability.

Benefits of Implant Dentistry

Our dentist recognizes the long-term benefits of dental implants as a solution to tooth loss. Whether replacing a single tooth or multiple missing teeth, dental implants offer a reliable, durable solution that enhances your oral health and quality of life. Benefits of dental implant restorations include:

  • Natural Appearance and Comfort: Our implant restorations match your natural teeth closely, providing a seamless and comfortable fit.
  • Long-Lasting and Durable: Made from quality materials, our implant restorations last many years, offering a long-term solution for missing teeth.
  • Improved Confidence and Function: With secure, stable restorations, you can smile, speak, and eat confidently, enjoying the full functionality of your teeth without worrying about discomfort or slippage.
  • Preservation of Oral Health: Since implant restorations don't rely on surrounding teeth for support, they help protect the integrity of neighboring teeth and promote long-term oral health.

Our Dental Implant Process

We begin our dental implant process with a consultation with our dentist, where we take the time to discuss your goals and assess your specific needs. During this appointment, our dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if tooth implants are the right solution for you. We'll also walk you through the treatment plan and address any questions you may have.

Once your treatment plan is finalized, we will work with a trusted local surgeon to place the implant posts into your jawbone. After placement, there is a healing period during which the implant integrates with the bone. Once fully healed, we'll create and place your custom restoration to rebuild your smile's natural appearance and function.

Tooth Implant FAQs

We understand you may have questions regarding our dental implants. Our team is here to answer your questions and offer guidance and peace of mind throughout your care. Common questions regarding our implant dentistry include:

How do I care for tooth implants?

Caring for dental implants is much like caring for your natural teeth. It's important to brush and floss regularly and schedule routine checkups and cleanings with our dentist to keep your implants and gums healthy.

Yes, once your implant restoration is in place, you can eat most foods just as you would with natural teeth. It is important to avoid hard and sticky foods as this may damage your restoration.

No, dental implants typically do not affect speech. They can help improve speech if your missing teeth affect your ability to speak clearly. Our implant-supported restorations function like natural teeth, allowing you to talk without discomfort or lisping.

Dental implants may still be an option even if you have bone loss in the jaw. In some cases, bone grafting is performed to rebuild the bone before implant placement. Our dentist will evaluate your bone health and recommend the correct treatment for you.
