What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is designed to mimic the tooth structure and fuses directly with the jaw bone. Implants may be used to replace single missing teeth, or to secure an implant bridge or implant supported dentures. The post of the implant is made out of titanium, which is impervious to decay. The titanium screw acts as a very strong base for a dental crown or prosthetic. In most cases, dental implants can help to make the face appear fuller, more youthful, and more attractive. Since the implant stimulates the jaw bone, it can also help prevent bone deterioration.

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

Patients receiving dental implants need a certain amount of bone to support the implant. If bone tissue has been compromised, you may still be a candidate for implant supported dentures, or single dental implants if a bone graft is performed. We will use advanced digital technology to capture 3D images of the jaw bone and determine optimum placement of the implants. Dr. Savukinas will also need to review your oral and medical health history to ensure you are a candidate for implants.

The Dental Implant Process

Dental implant placement typically involves two procedures. We will surgically place the implant into the jaw bone and let that heal for up to six months. Next, a prosthetic will be attached to the implant or we will cover the implant with a dental crown. The average dental implant process can take up to eight months with minimal disruption to your day-to-day life. We can discuss the implant process in more detail during your consultation.
