What Are Tooth Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing teeth. They consist of three parts: the post, which is placed surgically into your jaw, becoming a permanent part of your jaw; the abutment, which connects the post to your restoration; and your restoration, which is your visible new tooth. Dental implants are known for being durable and providing a natural-looking and functional solution for missing teeth, making them a popular option if you are seeking to restore your smile.

Our Dental Implant Restoration Options

Dental implants offer a versatile solution for tooth loss. Whether you're looking to replace a single tooth or entire arches, our dentist provides tailored restorations to meet your needs. We work with you on an individual basis to find the option that suits your preferences and lifestyle. Our dental implant restorations include:

Crowns: Our crowns are custom-made restorations placed on a single implant to replace a missing tooth and are designed to blend seamlessly with your smile.
Bridges: A series of connected teeth supported by implants to replace two or more missing teeth in a row. Our bridges offer a stable and natural-looking solution for gaps in your smile.
Dentures: Our dentures are ideal if you are missing full arches of teeth. They are supported by implants, providing better stability and comfort than traditional dentures.
All-on-4: An innovative solution for replacing entire arches of teeth. By using just four strategically placed tooth implants, this system promotes faster healing and provides a stable, full set of teeth. During your consultation, we will determine if this treatment is right for you.

Our Implant Dentistry Process

The journey to restoring your smile with tooth implants begins with a thorough consultation. During this appointment, our dentist reviews your medical history, assesses your oral health and discusses your goals for treatment. We will perform simple extractions and any necessary gum disease treatments to create a stable foundation for the implant.

Once your gums are in optimal condition, our dentist will work with a trusted local surgeon to place the implant. After your implant is placed, a healing period is required to allow the implant to fuse with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. Once healing is complete, you will return to our office for the final step: the placement of your restoration. Our team will carefully attach your restoration to the implant, giving you a natural-looking and fully functional tooth replacement.

Tooth Implant FAQs

We understand you may have questions regarding our dental implants. Our team is ready to answer your questions and offer support throughout your care. We strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible, giving you a positive dental implant experience. Common questions include:

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants can last many years, even a lifetime, with proper care. The implant itself can last 25 years or more, while the restoration may need replacement after 10-15 years due to wear and tear.

How do I care for dental implants?

Maintaining implants is like caring for your natural teeth. Be sure to brush and floss daily, and schedule regular checkups with our dentist to allow your implants to stay in optimal condition.

Can dental implants affect my speech?

Dental implants are crafted to mimic the function of natural teeth, so they generally won't impact your ability to speak. They can improve your speaking ability compared to missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures.

Can I smoke with dental implants?

Smoking raises the chances of implant failure and negatively impacts your healing process. It's recommended to stop smoking before placement and during healing and reduce smoking in the long term.
