We make your implant journey straightforward and calm. For every missing tooth, a single dental implant provides a permanent replacement. The implant structure is designed to replace both the tooth and its root, which is critical because the root portion stimulates and preserves the health of the jawbone.
Here are the implant components:
- Screw: During the first stage of surgery, our dentist will put a dental implant screw into your jawbone beneath the gum tissue. The gum tissue is then carefully stitched back into place. As the tissue heals, the implant will bond with the bone and attach to the gum.
- Abutment: The abutment is a small post that serves as the connector between the implant structure and your final replacement tooth (crown).
- Prosthetics: Dental crowns are the most common prosthetic provided to patients. Bridges or dentures can also be used after your implant procedure.
