Why Live with Missing Teeth?
Having a missing tooth or several missing teeth is more than just an annoyance – it is a health risk that you do not need to take. Problems from missing teeth include:
- Bone loss where the tooth is missing
- A sunken-in appearance as bone begins to deteriorate
- Loss of support for the teeth surrounding the missing tooth
- Problems speaking and eating
With dental implant technology, there is no reason to live with missing teeth. A dental implant looks and acts like all your natural teeth. After surgery, it becomes a permanent part of your body. This means you can start to love the way your teeth look and feel again.
What Is a Dental Implant?
Even though dental implants are getting far more recognition today than ever before, some people are unfamiliar with what a dental implant is, as well as how it functions. A dental implant is made up of three parts: the post, the abutment and the dental crown. Each has a particular function. The post is the part of the dental implant that mimics the natural tooth root. It is surgically embedded into the jaw bone. After surgery, it takes several months for the post to heal and the bone to fuse to the post. During this time period, your periodontist will see you regularly to ensure the fusion is occurring.
After the post has properly fused to the bone, the abutment is added. This portion of the dental implant supports the crown. At the time the abutment is put into place, a temporary dental crown is added until a permanent crown can be made. The permanent crown will be individually created using computerized, 3D software. The crown will match your existing teeth and blend in naturally. In fact, many dental implant patients tell us that after a while, they forget that the tooth is man-made and not natural!

EXCEPTIONAL, RELIABLE AND CONVENIENT GUM DISEASE TREATMENT
For patients whose bone loss is too significant for tooth implants without bone grafting surgery, an alternative may be available. All-on-4® implant-supported dentures affix to four strategically placed implants. These implants are not as long as typical dental implant posts, and can be placed where the bone is strongest. This type of surgery is ideal for patients with bone loss and those who are not candidates for regular dental implants.
