What Are Dental Implants?
Whether due to gum disease, injury, or cavities, tooth loss is more common than you might think. Losing a tooth can not only lower self-confidence but also have effects on bone health and the everyday function of your teeth. Dental implants are our Orange Beach clients’ most common tooth replacement options. This permanent solution to tooth loss provides natural-looking teeth that function as your natural teeth would.
The dental implant itself is an artificial tooth root typically made out of titanium. The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone where your natural root would have been. A tooth restoration is then connected to the artificial root through a connector known as an abutment. With local anesthesia, you won’t experience any pain during the procedure.
Types of Dental Implants
The are three main types of dental implants our Orange Beach, AL area office offers are: implant-supported overdentures, implant-supported bridges, and single dental implants. Implant-supported overdentures are a type of removable denture that clicks onto your dental implants. Unlike normal dentures, which make it hard to chew certain foods and at times can cause swollen gums, overdentures offer a firmer foundation, making it easier to use the teeth in everyday functions.
If you are missing two or more consecutive teeth, an implant-supported bridge might be an option for you. Implant-supported bridges offer a strong foundation for your bridge, allowing for use of your teeth as you would your natural teeth. Single dental implants are an option for those who have lost one or more teeth in different areas of the mouth. For single tooth replacements, a crown is attached to the dental implant.
