What Are Tooth Implants?

Dental implants are specially designed prosthetics capable of replacing your natural teeth, extending from the root to the crown. These devices offer a permanent solution for tooth replacement and provide exceptional stability and a natural mouthfeel when chewing and speaking. Our team works to provide tooth implants that are durable and fit in seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Dental implants consist of three components that form a complete and functional prosthetic tooth. These three parts are:

  1. The Post: Crafted from biocompatible materials such as titanium, implant posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone. Through a natural process known as osseointegration, the bone fuses with the post, providing a stable foundation for your tooth-shaped restoration.
  2. The Abutment: This piece securely connects the implant post to the final restoration. It ensures a reliable, highly secure fit so you can chew and speak confidently.
  3. The Restoration: This is the topmost part of the implant, typically a crown, bridge, or denture. Our restorations are custom-made with quality materials that are highly durable and mimic the appearance of natural teeth.

Our Tooth Replacement Process

When you come in for your initial appointment, our team will begin with a detailed assessment of your oral structures. Once we determine dental implants are the right choice for your restorative needs, we'll formulate a personalized treatment plan to complete your smile.

Our team begins by recommending any necessary pretreatments, including performing any necessary extractions. We'll then place your implant post. During your procedure, we provide the appropriate level of sedation depending on your needs, which could include nitrous oxide, oral conscious, or IV sedation.

Once your implant posts have integrated fully with the bone in your jaw, we'll create impressions of your smile. These impressions serve as the blueprint for making your implant restoration. When your restoration is ready, we'll invite you in and place your crown, bridge, or denture, ensuring a comfortable, secure fit.

The Benefit of Working With Specialists

Our team of general dentists works alongside an expert periodontist and endodontist when providing restorative dental services. This multidisciplinary approach to your care means you can feel confident you're getting highly skilled care from our experienced team at every step. Whether our endodontist is providing oversight as we examine your tooth to determine if it can be saved or our periodontist is assisting with the precision placement of your implant posts, you'll know your oral health is in capable hands.

Burlington Tooth Implant FAQs

Choosing dental implants to replace a tooth is a significant choice. Our team is here for you to make it a decision you're confident about. We prioritize clear communication and want to ensure you have all the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about tooth replacements. We're always here to answer questions and address your concerns. Some common questions we receive include:

Can I get Invisalign treatment after getting dental implants?

Our dentist will talk to you about any orthodontic needs with you prior to your implant procedure. Each case is different, and our team is always happy to discuss how we can coordinate straightening teeth with necessary restorative work.

Dental implants can be maintained using the same oral hygiene practices as natural teeth. These practices include regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. We also advise avoiding smoking and reducing the consumption of hard or very sticky foods to maximize the longevity of your implants.

Implant posts are permanent additions to your smile and can last a lifetime with proper care. The restorative components, such as crowns or bridges, can last well over a decade with appropriate care and maintenance.
