What Is a Dental Implant?
A Dental Implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. Due to the compatible properties of titanium, a Dental Implant can fuse with the bone to become an anchor for the replacement tooth or teeth in either jaw.
Can An Implant Be Used For a Permanent Bridge?
Yes.
When Would a Dental Implant Be a Good Choice?
A Dental Implant, with a Crown, can be a good choice when there is damage to both the root and the tooth. A Dental Implant and Crown can provide a patient with a naturally looking, permanent replacement. The jawbone can shrink and make your face look older, without an implant or natural tooth structure. Through an X-Ray and a Dental Evaluation, the jaw bone is looked at to see if it can adequately support a titanium post. Certain chronic diseases may prevent having a Dental Implant, but healthy and older patients, healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, can usually receive Dental Implants. Implants allow you to eat and drink the foods you enjoy. Restoring your tooth or teeth in a permanent fashion can restore your smile and self-esteem.
