You might experience more than just a gap in their smile if you are missing a tooth. Without that tooth, nearby teeth can shift out of place, causing discomfort and even difficulty with eating and speaking. It can also affect the shape of the face over time, leading to a more sunken appearance. And let’s not forget the social impact – a missing tooth can be a source of embarrassment or self-consciousness, which can impact one’s confidence and overall well-being. So, it’s important to take care of those pearly whites to avoid the pitfalls of a missing tooth.

Our team at Powers Dental Group will focus on aesthetics, fit, and comfort to provide dental implants that look like your natural teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They are typically made of titanium, which is a biocompatible material that fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for the replacement tooth or bridge, making dental implants a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

Process of Dental Implants

Dental implants are a practical and permanent solution that our team can provide by surgically placing an anchor for a replacement tooth.

  1. Placement of Implant: The first step in getting a dental implant involves the placement of the implant into the jawbone. This is typically done under local anesthesia and involves making a small incision in the gum tissue to access the bone. The implant is then placed into the bone and the gum tissue is sutured closed.
  2. Osseointegration: After the implant is placed, a process called osseointegration takes place, which is the fusion of the implant with the jawbone. This process can take several months and involves the bone growing around the implant to create a strong foundation.
  3. Attachment of Prosthetic Tooth: Once the implant has fused with the bone, a prosthetic tooth or bridge can be attached to the implant. This involves making a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the top of the implant, and then attaching the prosthetic tooth or bridge to the implant. The result is a natural-looking and functional replacement tooth that can last for many years with proper care.

The process of getting a dental implant typically involves several steps, including an initial consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon, a surgical procedure to place the implant in the jawbone, a healing period to allow the implant to fuse with the bone, and the placement of a prosthetic tooth or bridge on top of the implant. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last for many years and provide a natural-looking and comfortable replacement for missing teeth.
