What Are Dental Implants?
The main parts of a dental implant are the post, the abutment, and the final restoration. The screw-shaped post is surgically inserted into the jaw; once it has fused with the bone via a process known as osseointegration, it can act as an artificial tooth root. The abutment is a connector piece that is attached to the implant post once your mouth has healed. The final restoration will be designed to match the appearance of your natural teeth, and it will be anchored to the implant post via the abutment.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- The Initial Consultation: Before you can get dental implants, we will need to take a look at your mouth and discuss your candidacy for the treatment. If bone grafting or any other kind of preliminary procedure is required, we will let you know.
- The Dental Implant Surgery: We will surgically place your dental implant posts in precisely chosen spots in your jaw.
- Osseointegration and Abutment Placement: We’ll give your dental implants a few months to finish bonding with the jaw before attaching an abutment to each post.
- The Delivery of the Final Restoration: A personalized prosthesis (which could be a crown, bridge, or denture depending on the extent of tooth loss) will eventually be attached to your dental implant posts to complete your new smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- The dental implant posts can help stimulate your jaw to prevent bone loss, which in turn can help you avoid facial sagging.
- You will be able to enjoy all your favorite foods again thanks to the chewing power that dental implants provide.
- Dental implants are highly stable; you therefore won’t have to worry about your new teeth shifting at awkward moments.
- A well-maintained dental implant can last for 30 years or more – far longer than traditional tooth replacement options.
