Dental Implants

Dental implants are a popular and effective dental treatment used to replace missing teeth. They are designed to provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that restores oral function and improves a patient’s overall quality of life.

Implants consist of three main components: the implant post, abutment, and dental crown. The implant post is a small, titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for the missing tooth root. The abutment connects the implant post to the dental crown, which is the visible portion of the implant that resembles a natural tooth.

One of the main benefits of dental implants is their ability to restore oral function. Because the implant post is anchored in the jawbone, dental implants provide a stable foundation for the dental crown, allowing patients to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

DID YOU KNOW?

Dental implants have been used for thousands of years, with evidence of ancient cultures using various materials to replace missing teeth. Today, dental implants are typically made from titanium or other biocompatible materials, and they are surgically implanted into the jawbone to serve as a permanent replacement for missing teeth. The implant fuses with the jawbone over time, creating a stable and durable foundation for a prosthetic tooth or teeth to be attached.

Another benefit of dental implants is their natural-looking appearance. The dental crown that is attached to the implant is custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of the surrounding teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking smile.

Dental implants are also a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, implants can last for many years and provide patients with a durable and effective treatment option.

While dental implants offer many benefits, they do require some preparation and care. Before an implant can be placed, the jawbone must be evaluated to ensure there is enough bone density to support the implant post. In some cases, bone grafting may be required to build up the jawbone before the implant can be placed. Implants also require proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups to ensure they continue to function as intended.

If you have missing teeth, dental implants may be a viable treatment option. Dr. Anjoo Ely at Novi Oaks Dental can explain the benefits and risks of this restorative dental treatment.
