Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone by an oral surgeon. They provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, which can include crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants mimic the natural tooth structure, ensuring a secure fit and natural look.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Permanent Solution: Offers a long-lasting replacement for missing teeth.
• Natural Appearance: Mimics the look and feel of natural teeth.
• Improved Functionality: Restores full chewing and speaking capabilities.
• Preserves Jawbone: Prevents bone loss associated with missing teeth.
• Stability and Comfort: Provides a secure fit without slipping or shifting.

The Dental Implant Restoration Procedure

1. Consultation and Examination: Dr. Scott Bonin will perform a thorough examination, including x-rays, to evaluate your dental needs and determine the best restoration approach.
2. Treatment Planning: A personalized treatment plan is developed, outlining the steps and timeline for your dental implant restoration procedure.
3. Coordination with Surgeon: We will work closely with your oral surgeon to ensure that the implants are placed accurately and efficiently.
4. Abutment Placement: Once the implant has been placed and osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This connector will hold the replacement tooth or teeth.
5. Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.
