Crowns and conventional bridges or dentures may not be your only options when replacing missing teeth.

Is There a Way I Can Have a Tooth Replaced Other Than a Bridge?

Yes. Dental implants can provide artificial teeth that look natural and feel secure. Dental implants can also be used to attach full or partial dentures. Implants, however, are not an option for everyone. Because implants require surgery, patients must be in good health, have healthy gums, have adequate bone to support the dental implant and be committed to meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits.

Dental Implants Offer a Smile That Looks and Feels Natural

For some people, dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very natural. Surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments, dental implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture.

Dental Implants Offer Sability

Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the dental implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural and some people also find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes.

Adequate Bone & Healthy Gums are Necessary for Dental Implants

Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. A thorough evaluation by your dentist will help determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants.

What is Involved in Placing Dental Implants?

Dental Implant surgery can be done either in a dental office or in a hospital, depending upon a number of factors. A local or general anesthetic may be used. Usually pain medications and, when necessary, antibiotics are prescribed.
Your implant dentist will give you instructions on diet and oral hygiene.

First, dental implant surgery is performed to place the anchor

Dental implant surgery can take up to several hours, and up to six months may be required for the bone to grow around the anchor and firmly hold it in place. Some dental implants require a second surgery in which a post is attached to connect the anchor to the replacement teeth. With other dental implants, the anchor and post are already attached and are placed at the same time.

Artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post

After the gums have had several weeks to heal, the next step in placing dental implants is begun. The artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step of placing dental implants can take one to two months to complete.
