What is an implant?

If someone is missing one  or more teeth, a natural replacement for that tooth could potentially be an implant. Implants are the only replacement tooth option that nearly matches the strength of natural teeth. These incredible advanced dental tools can give you back the biting force you lost years ago. An implant would go into the site where the tooth used to be and later a crown will be placed on that implant to restore the area. 

WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE?

Implants, in most situations, have many advantages over traditional tooth replacement options (bridges, dentures).

  • last longer: traditional dentures or bridges generally last 7-15 years while implants last over 20 years
  • studies have found a 30% failure rate for teeth that are right next to bridges or dentures after 5-7 years. This is much lower for implants.
  • Dental Implants can preserve bone and stimulate growth whereas leaving a tooth missing or wearing a denture can actually cause the bone to resorb.
  • Unlike a natural tooth supporting a bridge, a dental implant is not susceptible to tooth decay.

IMPLANT SURGERY IS SEAMLESS

Although there is always horror stories of getting a tooth pulled, getting an implant is seamless and painless. The process is quick and with the right preparation, you will have the foundation for a wonderful final result when it is time to place the crown on the implant. Dental implants are placed successfully about 98 percent of the time. 

IMPLANT TERMINOLOGY

It's important to understand that there are a few components to an implant. It's essential to know the terminology so that you can better understand the morphology of an implant.

  • implant body: this is the part that actually gets surgically placed into the bone. After it is placed, it takes about 3-4 months to integrate with your bone before you move on to the next phase.
  • abutment: this unit attaches to the implant body and provides a platform for the restoration.
  • implant crown: this cap mimics the shape of a tooth and is cemented or screwed into the abutment to provide the final restoration for the implant.
