How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are made up of three essential components:
- Implant Post: A titanium screw surgically inserted into your jawbone
- Abutment: A connector piece between the post and crown
- Crown: A lifelike porcelain tooth that matches your natural smile
Here’s how the process unfolds:
- Initial consultation and planning
- Surgical placement of the implant
- Healing period with bone integration
- Final crown placement or restoration
We often use Digital Impressions (iTero) and 3D CT Scanning to increase accuracy and comfort.
Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be a good candidate for implants if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth
- Have healthy gums and adequate bone structure
- Are looking for a long-term alternative to dentures
- Are in good overall health and a non-smoker
Some patients may need Bone Grafting if there is insufficient bone to support the implant.
Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several life-changing advantages:
- Permanent, stable tooth replacement
- Look and function like natural teeth
- No shifting or slipping like dentures
- Preserve jawbone health and facial structure
- Easy to care for and maintain
Many of our patients choose implants over bridges or dentures because they offer unmatched stability and aesthetics.
