Come meet with us at our practice in Acorn Dental Care to select where you want your tooth, the colour you want, and the shape you desire. If you currently need a tooth out, then we can discuss that too.
Implants are almost like natural teeth. They have a titanium root, an upper connector called an abutment, and the visible white portion called a crown.
Getting a dental implant doesn't require any drilling of your adjacent teeth. The implant is placed in the jaw bone and does not have any pain nerves. There are minimal pain and easier recovery than most other dental procedures.
The loss of a tooth can be a source of concern, especially if the tooth is in the esthetic area! As clinicians we like to offer acceptable solutions to replace missing teeth. A dental implant is indicated when neighbouring teeth are healthy, and we are loath to cut them down for a bridge, for example.
Single or multiple teeth can be replaced predictably due to significant progress in research of dental implant materials. Implants are manufactured from titanium and designs and surfaces vary greatly.
Modern dental implants make use of osseointegration, the biologic process where bone fuses tightly to the surface of specific materials such as titanium. The integration of implant and bone can support physical loads for decades without failure.
Dental implants are suitable for anyone missing a tooth, except adolescents whose jawbone is still growing.
Anyone with missing teeth is a candidate for dental implants. You will be asked to complete a medical history and to confirm your physical well-being.
