The Basics on Dental Implants

Dental implants are prosthetics used to replace the missing roots of teeth. Made from titanium, a dental implant essentially resembles a very small screw with an abutment on one end. It is placed into the jawbone where a missing tooth once was. A dental crown or bridge will then be attached to the abutment to complete the restoration of a lost tooth. If a person requires total tooth replacement, multiple implants can be used to support a full denture.
Implants offer advantages that prosthetics like bridges or dentures cannot. First, a bridge or denture rests on top of the gums, only replacing the surfaces of teeth above the gum line. An implant, however, draws on support from the bone just like a tooth’s root to hold prosthetics. By addressing the loss of the entire tooth or teeth, a person can enjoy more stable oral function and longer lasting replacement teeth. Dental implants also keep bone in the jaw active through stimulation that can prevent bone resorption, a common side effect of tooth loss.
Single Tooth Replacement
All-on-4/Teeth in a Day
All-on-4, also known as “teeth in a day”, involves comprehensive tooth replacement for edentulous patients. This procedure consists of anchoring custom dentures to a series of four strategically placed dental implants in the jaw. Anchoring an arch of prosthetic teeth to dental implants helps stabilize the biting surfaces of prosthetics and promote a more natural looking appearance.

“I have always been critical of dentists and their practices. I have had very poor experiences in the past which kept me from seeing them as needed. My first visit to Parker Nickolas Read reassured me that there are good practices around. The staff is friendly. The facility is clean with modern technology. My smile is back and I am happy with dentists again. Thanks!”
