Discover the Power of Dental Implants
Dental implants represent a technical breakthrough in dentistry that allows us to permanently replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even an entire row with artificial teeth that attach to your jaw and function like real teeth. Come visit our office to learn more about what dental implants can do for you.
WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
The actual dental implant is a small titanium post which is attached to your jawbone. Titanium is a remarkable metal that can fuse with bone. The discovery that the body will not reject titanium nor experience adverse or allergic reactions to the metal, makes titanium the perfect choice for tooth replacement.
Here is how it works: your natural teeth are held in place by their root. With a dental implant, the titanium post acts like a root, allowing an artificial tooth, called a crown, to be attached to the post and held firmly in place just like your natural teeth are. Once the procedure is complete, you will have a natural-looking tooth which is firmly attached, thereby restoring your smile.

WHAT IS THE DENTAL IMPLANT PROCEDURE?
The first step is to evaluate your unique situation and determine if you are a candidate for dental implants. Once we have determined you are a candidate, we can start the dental implant procedure.
A titanium post is placed in the bone socket of your missing tooth and acts like an artificial root for a new tooth. This procedure can take from one to two hours. As the bone heals, it will fuse with the titanium post, providing a firm foundation to attach the artificial tooth, called a crown. Bone heals slowly so it can take from three to eight months for the implant to fully fuse with the bone and be ready for a crown.
Once we’ve determined the implant has bonded to your jawbone, it’s time to place your new tooth. Your implant lies below the gum line, just like a natural tooth root, so we add a part to the implant which will hold the crown. This piece is called an abutment. An abutment is that part of a structure which directly receives pressure, which is what happens when you bite or chew with your new tooth.
Now that your abutment has been attached to the implant, we take careful measurements of your teeth and your bite (how your teeth meet when you close your mouth or chew) so we can make your new crown. Your new crown is matched to your other teeth in size, shape and color.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS?
The only way to know for sure whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants is to see your dentist and get an evaluation. Implants may not be the best choice for you if you have extensive bone loss in your jaw due to missing teeth, or if you have other health issues which would interfere with healing after surgery. Sometimes a bone graft can be done to build up sufficient bone mass for an implant to be properly anchored in place.
