What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for filling gaps in your smile. They are made up of three parts: a titanium screw-shaped post, an abutment, and an implant restoration. What makes dental implants unique is how they fuse to the jawbone as the area heals, which helps provide a stable foundation for supporting one or more replacement teeth.
At Stonecreek Dental Associates, we work alongside your periodontist or oral surgeon, who will place one or more implants. We complete your process by custom-crafting aesthetic implant restorations from digital impressions of your smile.
When it comes to your smile, quality matters, which is why we only use genuine manufacturer parts, down to the screw. We custom craft every implant restoration to ensure exceptional comfort and function and a beautifully natural appearance.
What Are the Types of Dental Implant Restoration?
The following is a look at some of our implant restoration options:
- Single Implant Crowns: If you are missing a tooth, a single implant can support a custom dental crown. Your new restoration will look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: An implant-supported bridge can restore your complete smile if you are missing two or more teeth in a row. Your custom restoration is attached to dental implants, providing exceptional stability and function.
- All-on-X Implants: All-on-X implants are the closest you'll have to natural teeth. These full-arch restorations rely on as few as four dental implants for support, providing a more secure, functional, and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer numerous advantages over other types of restorations, including the following:
- They Look and Feel Natural: Dental implants are designed to closely match your natural teeth, leaving you with a seamless smile.
- They Are Incredibly Stable: Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, dental implants are firmly anchored into your jawbone, providing a secure foundation for replacement teeth.
- They Restore Your Smile's Function: Dental implants help you enjoy your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently once again.
- They Prevent Bone Loss: Implants are the only types of tooth replacements that stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that occurs after tooth loss.
- They Support Your Facial Structure: By preserving your jawbone, implants help prevent the sunken appearance that may occur with tooth loss, maintaining your natural facial contours and youthful appearance.
- They Preserve the Alignment of Your Smile: Dental implants prevent the neighboring teeth from shifting, helping maintain the alignment of your smile.
- They Balance Your Bite: Your new replacement teeth redistribute the forces of your bite, reducing your risk of periodontal disease, uneven tooth wear, and even TMJ pain.
- They Are Durable: Dental implants are built to withstand the forces of chewing and daily wear and tear, and with proper care, they have the potential to enhance your smile for a lifetime.
- They Improve Your Quality of Life: Dental implants can dramatically enhance your confidence, helping you feel more at ease and confident in social, professional, and personal settings.
