What Is a Dental Implant?
Serving as an artificial tooth root, a dental implant is composed of extremely durable material (typically titanium, though we also offer ceramic ones). It is then fixed firmly and permanently into the jaw bone. A crown, which acts as an artificial tooth, is then attached to the implant. The result is a long-lasting and natural-looking restoration. It feels just like your existing teeth!
The Benefits of a Single-Tooth Dental Implant
Thanks to modern advancements in dentistry, dental implants represent the most successful and effective solution to a missing tooth. Here are some other reasons why dentists love implants:
- When proper oral hygiene standards are maintained, dental implants can last a lifetime.
- They help to improve bone strength whilst also preserving a patient’s facial profile.
- Implants are so durable that they are stronger than your natural teeth.
- Placing a dental implant following a tooth extraction prevents shrinkage in your bone and gum.
What Does the Dental Implant Procedure Involve?
The highly skilled team members at Smiles Are Us Park Holme are experienced in providing dental implant therapy. As the procedure is straightforward, any discomfort is minimal.
After we have gotten the relevant imaging to further examine the implant’s location, we begin by carefully placing the titanium or ceramic root into your jaw. The next step involves waiting for about 3-4 months to allow for osseointegration to take place. This process refers to the development of new bone which fuses to the implant, resulting in remarkable strength and durability.
The last step in the process involves a custom-made crown that’s fabricated in our trusted and local lab. We will fit it permanently to your implant. That’s it! You can enjoy your beautiful and natural-looking smile.
