What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement option, and our dental office serving Foley prides itself in providing exceptional quality and care throughout the implant process. Because dental implants look and feel like your real teeth, they are a common option for those who want to maintain their smile and appearance. Dental implants have become more popular over the years as they are an optimal solution for usability and comfort. They allow for greater biting force and better chewing as compared to dentures.
Dental implants replace the root of the tooth, allowing for an artificial tooth to be connected to the implant. An artificial root is implanted into the jaw bone, which bonds to your natural bone. This root is attached to the artificial tooth through a connector called an abutment. While you may feel a little bit of pressure during the procedure, you will not feel any pain because a local anesthetic is used to numb the area.
Types of Dental Implants
There are three main options for dental implants. You may have dentures now that have been uncomfortable and make it hard to eat certain foods. Implant-supported overdentures are a good option for those who want more stability and chewing function. An implant-supported bridge is also an option. For those missing two or more consecutive teeth, this option allows for more stability than traditional bridges because, instead of the restoration being supported by adjacent, shaved-down teeth, it is attached to the titanium implants embedded in the jaw. If you are missing one tooth or a few teeth in various locations, a single dental implant with a screw and crown can be used to replace each separate tooth.
Those patients with multiple teeth missing or other issues might consider full-mouth dental implants. Our specialists serving Foley can discuss a teeth replacement option that’s right for you.
