What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are essentially prosthetic teeth inserted into the jaw to replace natural teeth. Implants differ from removable dentures and veneers because they are permanently placed using prosthetic roots. Implants are a great way to restore your smile and protect your mouth, especially for those with loss of teeth, severe decay, or tooth or jaw injuries.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

Dental implants function just like natural teeth and root, including by stimulating and protecting the jaw to prevent bone loss. Most contain three components:

  • The Screw: Inserted into the gum and jawbone, and acts as the replacement root.
  • The Abutment: A connector piece that attaches the screw to the crown.
  • The Crown: The visible tooth replacement.

When an implant is placed in a patient’s mouth, it bonds with the jawbone and settles to create a stable foundation for replacement teeth. You can still chew, swallow and speak normally.

Are Implants Right for Me?

Dental implants are a good choice for those with complete tooth loss, tooth injury or severe decay. Implants offer various benefits, including:

  • Avoiding deteriorating bone loss
  • Maintaining facial profiles and structure
  • Minimizing wrinkles around the mouth
  • Preserving natural lip support

The best way to determine dental implants are right for you is to meet with a dentist to discuss your options.
