Dental implants are a popular option for restoring the teeth, and can work well to replace a single tooth, or even all the teeth. A dental implant is made up of a pontic (false tooth) and a surgically implanted steel post, which acts as the tooth root. While the pontic may need to be replaced after some time, the post remains in place and can potentially last a lifetime.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are an excellent means to achieve teeth that look, feel, and operate like a natural tooth. Highly secure, they provide a solid biting and chewing surface that does not shift. Many people also choose dental implants due to their low maintenance; a normal daily dental hygiene routine and annual oral examinations and dental hygiene appointments keep dental implants in good shape.
How Dental Implants Are Placed
The dental implant process begins with close consultation with your dentist to determine whether the bones and gums of your mouth are healthy enough to support the implant. If you are approved for this treatment plan, dental implant posts will be surgically placed in your jaw, after which a period of several weeks is required for the implant to affix to the bone. Once secure, your dentist can place a pontic (false tooth) onto the implant, creating a beautiful, strong replacement.
