What is a tooth implant?

Dental implants are a permanent solution to natural looking teeth. It involves a titanium screw that replaces a single or multiple rooted tooth. The implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone and, as the mouth heals, the bone and the implant begin to fuse together (usually over a 4-6 month period). Once healing is complete, the implant crown is then constructed and attached to the implant by a screw or permanent cement. There are three different types of implants:

• Single Implants – Replace Single teeth

• Multiple Implants – Replace Multiple teeth

• Full Arch Implants – Replace all upper or lower teeth

Benefits of Dental Implants:

• Improved appearance
• Looks and feels like your own tooth
• Significantly stronger than bridges or dentures
• Replacing a single tooth can be done without sacrificing the health of adjacent teeth unlike a cemented bridge that requires adjacent natural teeth to be ground down to support it.
• Because a dental implant replaces the root, it will preserve the surrounding bone. With a bridge, the bone that previously surrounded the tooth begins to deteriorate.

Losing a tooth or teeth can impede serious changes within the mouth, such as:

• Incapability for teeth to perform natural functions
• Alter speaking and dietary habits
• Place strain on remaining teeth, resulting in permanent damage
• Weaken the jawbone
• A smile which is aesthetically lacking
