Once the tooth has been pulled, you have many essential decisions to make. Is a dental bridge reasonably priced? Do I want to damage two healthy teeth to anchor the bridge? Should I decide on a partial denture? What about bone loss?
What if you could have a fresh start with restoration dentistry in Jefferson City? What if you could have a permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement that would restore your smile and retain the healthy bone and gum tissue around the tooth root? If you elect a dental implant, you can.
A dental implant is a permanent replacement for all parts of the tooth. It consists of three parts, the titanium post, the abutment, and the restoration.
The Titanium Post
- Inserted directly into the jaw bone
- Extremely strong
- Titanium is unique in that it bonds with living bone tissue (also used in knee and hip replacement surgery)
The Abutment
- Can be made of gold, porcelain or titanium
- Permanently attached to the post (it will not slip and slide like dentures)
The Restoration (Crown)
- Usually made of porcelain fused to a metal alloy (PFM)
- Is made to match the color of surrounding teeth
- Will look as good or better than the tooth it replaced
