DENTAL IMPLANTS
An alternative to bridges, partials or complete dentures may be dental implants. Implants are used to replace missing roots and support artificial teeth. They are comfortable and look like natural teeth.

FAQ
-
A dental implant is an artificial root made of metal. It is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the natural tooth. An artificial tooth is attached to the implant and the implant acts as an anchor to hold it in its place.
-
If you are in good health, have healthy gums and enough bone in the jaw to hold an implant, dental implants might be right for you. If your jawbone has shrunk or if it has not developed normally, you may be able to have a bone graft to build up the bone. A bone graft is a way of adding new bone to your jawbone.
-
Your dentist will carefully examine your mouth and take X-rays of your head, jaw and teeth to find out if dental implants are right for you.
-
During the first stage of surgery, your dentist will put a dental implant into your jawbone beneath the gum tissue. The gum tissue is then stitched back into place. As the tissue heals, the implant will bond with the bone and attach to the gum.
-
During the second stage of surgery and once the tissue is healed, your dentist will attach an abutment to the implant. An abutment is a post that connects the replacement tooth to the implant. In some cases, the first and second stage of implant surgery may be done in one single stage.
-
An artificial tooth is made and your dentist attaches it to the abutment.
-
When replacing several teeth or all of your teeth, a fixed bridge is anchored to your dental implants. A bridge is a dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by spanning an area that has no teeth. The bridge is held firmly in place by dental implants on each side of the missing tooth or teeth.
