The implant post, made of titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the tooth root. It serves as a sturdy foundation for the abutment and crown.
The abutment is then attached to the implant post, which connects the implant to the crown. It serves as a connector between the implant and the visible portion of the tooth.
The crown, custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, is attached to the abutment, completing the dental implant. The crown is the visible portion of the implant and serves as a functional and aesthetically pleasing replacement tooth.
A dental implant is placed into the jawbone for single-tooth replacement, and a custom-made dental crown is attached to the implant post, creating a natural-looking replacement tooth.
Multiple teeth can also be replaced with dental implants. For example, a dental bridge can be supported by either one implanted post and one natural tooth or two implanted posts.
An implanted post can also help stabilize a partial denture and may require multiple posts. Sometimes, an entire arch of false teeth can be stabilized with four to six dental implants, such as the All-on-4 Procedure.
At Avery Dental Wellness, we specialize in dental implants as a restorative solution for missing teeth. Our dental implant procedure is non-surgical and involves restoring missing teeth with implant-supported crowns or bridges.
Dental implants offer numerous benefits as a restorative solution for missing teeth, including:
Dental implants prevent bone loss and preserve adjacent teeth.
Implant-supported restorations blend in seamlessly with natural teeth.
Dental implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures.
Implant-supported restorations help restore natural speech patterns.
Dental implants allow you to eat your favorite foods easily and confidently.
These factors determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure:
Good overall health is important for the success of dental implants, as any underlying health conditions could affect the healing process.
Sufficient jawbone is necessary to support the dental implant. If insufficient bone is present, bone grafting may be necessary before the implant restoration can be placed.
Healthy gums are essential for the success of dental implants, as the gums must be able to heal properly around the implant post.
Maintaining good oral hygiene habits is important for the success of dental implants, as they require the same level of care as natural teeth.
While implant-supported restorations do not decay, they can still be affected by gum disease and other oral health issues if not properly cleaned.
Here are some tips for cleaning dental implants:
Brushing your teeth twice daily is essential for maintaining good oral hygiene, including implant-supported restorations. Use a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive toothpaste to clean around the implant post and abutment.
Flossing is important for removing food particles and plaque between teeth and implant-supported restoration. Use a floss threader or interdental brush to clean around the implant post and abutment.
An antibacterial mouthwash can help kill bacteria and prevent gum disease. Ask Dr. Emily Dennison for a recommendation on which mouthwash to use.
Regular dental cleanings are important for maintaining good oral health and ensuring the longevity of your dental implant. Dr. Emily Dennison may recommend more frequent cleanings if you have implant-supported restorations.
