Patients considering a fixed solution for missing teeth will want to ask Dr. Meredith Levine about the benefits of dental implants. Dental implants are a wonderful way to replace one, several, or all the teeth, depending on how they are used. Implants offer the best in support and stability when compared to other dental appliances, such as dental bridges and dentures.

Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial roots. They are placed during oral surgery into the upper or lower jawbone. The portion of the implant that sits above the gumline is the abutment, which is used to attach a restoration. Implants are not only natural-looking but have the best function better than any other tooth replacement option on the market today.

While the procedure to place the implants is an oral surgery and expected to be painful, it is performed with proper anesthetics and sedation. Patients may have some discomfort for a few days following their procedure, but this is well-managed for most with over-the-counter pain medications.

Patients who do not have sufficient bone for traditional implants may still be candidates for mini dental implants. These are smaller and require less bone for placement. These are often used as full mouth dental implants, when patients are having a full denture made to snap onto the implants along the dental arch. These are sometimes referred to as implant-retained dentures and are an option for patients who are missing all the teeth in the upper and/or lower arch.

Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Todays treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. Theres approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
