Dental implants are the best way to restore your smile because they are more than superficial restorations. An implant replaces each part of your tooth, not just the chewing surface, which supports your oral health now and well into the future. Dental implants are made of three main parts:
- The implant post. This simulates the root of the tooth and is surgically embedded into the jawbone. This allows it to stimulate the bone and prevent bone loss that accompanies other restoration options, while also giving you a solid foundation for your restoration.
- The abutment. This connects the post and restoration, securing the new chewing surface to the stability of the implant and protecting your gums from infection.
- The restoration. This completes the implant and can be a variety of options, such as a dental crown to replace just one tooth or an implant-supported denture to replace an entire arch. We will talk with you about your restoration options and what might be best for your goals and situation.
Receiving a dental implant is a bit more involved of a process than other restorations, but it is well worth it. Call our office today to learn more and set up a consultation with our dentist!
