Dental Implants
Dental implants are actually quite simple in their design and methodology, but don’t let that simplicity overshadow the fact that there are decades of advanced research and testing behind modern dental implants. Today, dental implants are made from extremely durable materials designed to last a lifetime and are engineered to be identical in appearance to your natural teeth. The result is a smile that looks perfect and gets your mouth back to full function.
A single dental implant consists of three main parts; the fixture, the abutment and the prosthesis (crown). The fixture is typically made from a metal or composite material engineered to provide optimum fusion to human bone, providing a secure and permanent connection between the implant and your jaw.
The abutment is the portion of the fixture that connects directly to the prosthesis, which is also known as the crown and is the visible portion of the implant. The prosthesis/crown is customized in shape and colour to match your natural teeth. The result is a perfectly matched implant that looks completely natural with the rest of your teeth.
The process of receiving a dental implant is a simple one, and generally takes only about an hour for your implant to be placed. Once placed, it takes about 4-6 months for the surrounding area to completely heal and the bone to grow and fuse to the fixture, which is a process known as osseointegration. Once completed, you will now have a permanent solution to your lost tooth.
