Dental Implants
Dental implants can be used to replace single or multiple missing teeth. Implants are a strong fixed prosthodontic replacement that closely resemble the form and function of natural teeth. At Fine Dentistry By Design, we guarantee that the implants we place will function as seamlessly as a natural tooth.
Dental Implants are the gold standard in replacing extracted teeth. A single tooth implant closely mimics the natural dentition, resulting in a natural appearance in anterior teeth and complete masticatory function in the posterior teeth.
Implants are placed in three parts: the implant screw, the abutment, and the crown. The implant screw is placed in the bone and acts as the foundation of the implant. The abutment is placed on top of the implant screw and acts as the bridge between the screw and the crown. Platform swapped abutments can aid in preventing gum recession, allowing a more aesthetic and natural emergence of the crown to be achieved. The crown mimics the natural dentition and restores both aesthetic and masticatory function.
Aside from the functional and aesthetic benefits, an implant can help maintain bone structure as well. Typically after an extraction, the bone around the extraction site will resorb, causing loss of bone within the dental arch. However implants interact with the bone in a similar manner to natural teeth, fusing with the bone as the extraction socket heals, preventing bone loss and preserving the framework of your smile. The added benefit of bone preservation along with the functional and aesthetic benefits makes dental implants a highly recommended restorative procedure.
