Before Dental Implants

After Dental Implants

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a titanium prosthesis that is surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. Over a number of weeks, the bone in your jaw grows around the implant, making it a permanent fixture in your jaw.

What can be done with an implant after it is placed?

After the implant has fully healed, it acts like a synthetic tooth root in your mouth. It can be used to support a single crown. Multiple implants can be used to hold in a bridge. Implants can even be used to snap a denture in place.

Are the implants separate from the teeth themselves?

The dental implant is surgically placed in the jawbone. The restoration, or teeth, is treatment planned and performed as a separate procedure..

I have dentures. Can implants help me?

Sometimes dentures can be difficult to hold in place, especially if the jawbone has receded over time. A number of implants can be placed, and then the denture can be fitted to snap into the implants for better retention. No more denture adhesives needed!
