A Permanent Solution for Your Missing Teeth

What Are Dental Implants?
Request An AppointmentDental implants are a permanent solution to replace your missing teeth. They consist of three main components: a titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, an abutment that connects the post to the crown, and a custom-made crown that mimics the appearance and function of a natural tooth. Implants can be used to secure a denture or bridge as well as a single missing tooth, enhancing function and protecting the long-term health of your jaw. Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including improved oral health, enhanced appearance, and restored chewing function, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a long-lasting, natural-looking tooth replacement.
How Does Dental Implant Restoration Work?
Dr. Dickey will instruct your implant specialist on where he wants the implant placed and how it will be restored. The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone by the specialist, where it fuses with your bone over time, providing a foundation for the crown. After the post is placed and the area has healed, the actual implant will be restored.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
- Permanent and Durable Solution: Dental implants are designed to last with proper care, offering a stable and long-lasting replacement for your missing teeth.
- Natural Appearance and Function: Implants closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth, allowing for a seamless blend with existing teeth and restoring full chewing and speaking capabilities.
- Preservation of Jawbone Health: When you are missing a tooth, your jawbone gradually shrinks and becomes less stable in that location, causing your bite to change. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure over time.
