Dental Implants: Replacing Teeth from Root to Crown

Dec 6 • 2 minute read

Missing one or more teeth impacts both the health and appearance of the smile. Although you can have a bridge attached or be fitted with dentures, these options do not fully replace the natural feel and function of real teeth. On the other hand, dental implant treatment is the only solution that can rebuild dental function from the root-up. For many implant patients, their new teeth feel as good as their former ones and are just as strong and reliable. 

Permanent and Biocompatible

The foundation of implant restoration is the implant post, a titanium prosthesis that attaches to the jaw bone through a simple surgical procedure. Over time this post will fuse to the jaw, becoming part of the natural structure of the smile. 

Although many patients are concerned about having this surgery done, it is simple and efficiently done, made completely painless with local anesthesia. When fully bonded to the jaw, implants strengthen the bite and provide lasting support to specialized restorations. Built to last, properly-maintained implants can provide reliable dental function for 25 years or more. 

Customized Treatment 

Implant posts are positioned according to jaw bone density and oral health standing. If patients do not have thick enough bone in certain areas, bone grafts may be necessary. 

The number of posts used will depend on how many teeth are missing from the smile. Individual teeth are easily replaced one at a time, while rows or entire arches of teeth need to be restored strategically. Implant restorations include crowns, bridges, and dentures, and are made from scratch to give the patient the best-looking smile possible. 

Preserving Oral Health

Dental implant treatment health throughout the smile, from the jawbone to dental alignment. With restorations filling gaps, neighboring teeth won’t shift into the new space. The titanium post acts as a new root and supports new tissue growth which halts resorption, the harmful process where the bone loses density over time. Unlike traditional restorations, dental implants allow you to brush and floss normally, improving the health of your dental structures. With easier hygiene management and a simple maintenance routine, your renewed smile can last a lifetime.
