What Is A Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a restoration that is fabricated from titanium metal. This implant looks like a small screw or post that the dentist will surgically place into the bone of the jaw. By doing this, the implant acts as a tooth root replacement and can be restored in several different ways.
- Dental crown – patients who need to replace a single tooth will often do so with the use of a dental crown over the abutment of the dental implant. The crown is custom created to match the patient’s smile and ensure their false tooth looks just like their natural teeth.
- Dental bridges – some patients want to replace missing teeth with restorations such as dental bridges. However, bridges require a tooth on each side to act as an anchor. Patients can use dental implants on one or both sides of the missing tooth to allow for the placement of a dental bridge.
- Dentures – full dentures are commonly held in place with natural suction or dental adhesives. However, sometimes patients are looking for something stronger and more reliable. With several dental implants placed along the dental arch, patients can stabilize their dentures and enjoy all their favorite foods without hesitancy!
All of the above services are available with Dr. David S. Frey!
