The Process of Installing a Dental Implant

Of all the options to replace teeth, dental implants are the most durable and longest-lasting. With good dental care, they are able to last a lifetime. Bridge Smiles Dental Group P.A. offers dental implants to patients with missing teeth for this reason.

Dental implants are the option most similar to an actual tooth since the root is replaced; keeping the jawbone from deteriorating. The actual implant is a titanium post inserted into the bone socket. The tooth restoration is a custom dental crown. It is made specifically for you so it is the perfect fit and it looks natural.

Dental implants are surgically inserted into the bone socket where it will take several months to bond with the jawbone. During this healing time, your dentist will place a temporary crown on the tooth. When the healing process is complete, an abutment is placed on the implant post to serve as the base of the permanent crown. The custom crown is then cemented into place. With good care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

If you are looking to replace one or more teeth, dental implants could be the best option for you. To find out, schedule an appointment in our Neshanic Station, NJ office by calling (908) 782-4418 or schedule at our Somerville, NJ office by calling (908) 725-0400.
