How Dental Implants Work
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone to provide a strong, stable foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or denture.
The process typically includes:
- Initial evaluation and digital imaging
- Referral for implant placement by a surgical specialist if necessary
- Healing and osseointegration period (usually several months)
- Custom restoration placed at our office for a natural finish
Palmetto Family Dental provides the final restorative phase of care, crafting a lifelike crown or prosthetic that matches the surrounding teeth in shape, color, and function. For an overview of related services, visit dental implant restoration.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options. They are the only solution that replicates the full structure of a natural tooth, from root to crown.
Key benefits include:
- Permanent and stable tooth replacement
- No impact on adjacent teeth
- Helps maintain bone structure in the jaw
- Improved chewing function and speech
- A natural appearance and feel
- High success rate and durability
Patients considering multiple missing teeth replacements may also explore full and partial dentures as part of a comprehensive discussion.
Who is a Good Candidate for Implants?
Dental implants are best suited for adults with:
- Good overall and oral health
- Sufficient jawbone density to support the implant
- A commitment to daily oral hygiene
- No uncontrolled chronic conditions or active gum disease
In cases where bone loss is present, additional procedures like bone grafting may be required prior to implant placement. Our team will perform a thorough evaluation and collaborate with trusted oral surgeons to ensure optimal results.
If you’re not a candidate for implants, alternatives such as dental bridges or crowns may be recommended.
