Dental Implants Q & A
A dental implant is a two-part device used for tooth replacement. The bottom part of the dental implant, which replaces your tooth roots, is a biocompatible titanium post. The post, which is placed in your jawbone, connects to a custom crown or other prosthetic tooth replacement option.
Dental implants permanently replace your missing teeth. While you have to remove and clean conventional dentures every day, your dental implants never leave your mouth. They’re anchored in place much like your healthy natural teeth are.
Dental implants can secure one tooth, a group of teeth (a bridge), or even a row of dentures based on your needs.
If you’re missing a tooth (or many), dental implants can be a good tooth replacement option.
There are a few reasons that you shouldn’t leave a gap in your smile after a tooth extraction. An empty socket allows room for your other teeth to shift. This shifting could lead to an uncomfortable change in the way your teeth fit together and increase your risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay.
Leaving a tooth socket unprotected also makes you vulnerable to gum tissue shrinkage, muscle wasting, and bone loss over time. These changes can contribute to facial sagging and may even contribute to problems like temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
By restoring your tooth with a dental implant, you avoid all of these issues and get a well-functioning and beautiful new tooth as well.
First, you’ll see your Chauvin Family Dentistry provider for any necessary extractions and for implant planning.
Next, you’ll be referred to an oral surgeon or periodontist to get the implant post. After a period of healing, your jawbone fuses with the post. Your dentist works closely with your specialist during this period.
Then, you’ll return to the Chauvin Family Dentistry office so your dentist can design a tooth replacement. Your dentist then attaches your new tooth to the dental implant to complete your restoration process.
Dental implants offer several advantages, including:
- Permanent tooth replacement
- Facial muscle support to maintain a youthful look
- Maintain your tooth positions and bite
- Prevent bone and tissue loss
- No dietary restrictions
