Should You Get a Dental Implant?
If you are missing one or more teeth, a dental implant can improve the appearance and function of your smile as well as strengthen your oral health. A dental implant can also add stability for the rest of your teeth since when you are missing a tooth the remaining teeth may shift into the area left by the missing tooth.
What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a permanent stable tooth replacement. It can replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth. Further, it replaces the root and the crown of the missing tooth. Typically, a dental implant procedure occurs in three main phases which occur over the course of a few months.
- Placing the implant post In this phase, a screw-like post made of titanium is surgically placed in the jaw-bone at the location of the missing tooth. This post replaces the missing tooth root and ensures dental restoration is stable.
- Healing period Following the placement of the dental post there is a period of healing. During this time the jawbone begins to fuse with the biocompatible post.
- Abutment and replacement tooth are added During this phase, an extender called an abutment is added to the top of the implant post. Then, a replacement tooth is placed on top of the implant post and abutment.
