The bone then fuses around the implant stem, rendering the implant permanent. As a result, dental implants are much more like your original teeth than dentures or bridges.
When we restore multiple teeth with fixed implants, each crown is connected to its own attachment device. Fixed dental implants are a great option to replace a single tooth or a few teeth.
Dental implants provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth and help maintain the existing bone. Implants are made of titanium, because this metal is compatible with your body. They are designed as a long-term option to replace your missing teeth. When cared for properly, implants can last up to 20 years and often longer.
Implant-supported bridges are similar to traditional bridges, but instead of resting on your natural teeth, they rest on the supportive dental implants. Dental implants are small threaded posts used to replace the roots of missing teeth. Your implants must fully fuse into your jawbone before we can attach the bridge to them.
Dental implants involve oral surgery, usually completed during a single procedure. We use our specialized IV Sedation to ensure you will feel nothing during the placement procedure. After your surgery, we schedule a number of follow up visits to track your healing progress. When your implant area(s) are fully healed, which typically takes from three to six months, we place the dental crown(s) on the implant(s) to replace your missing teeth.
To care for your dental implant(s) you need to follow the same dental care as you maintain for your natural teeth, which includes being consistent with your six-month appointments as well as keeping up with your home dental care. This will ensure optimal oral health for your natural teeth, gums and your dental implant(s).
