What are Dental Implants?
Dental implant treatment is a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth. At My Neighbourhood Dentist, we specialize in this advanced procedure designed to restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile. Whether you have a single missing tooth, multiple gaps, or are looking for a secure alternative to traditional dentures, dental implants offer a permanent and natural-looking solution.

Components of Dental Implants:
Implant Fixture: The implant fixture is the part that is surgically placed into the jawbone. It acts as the root of the artificial tooth.
Abutment: The abutment is a connector piece that is attached to the implant fixture. It protrudes above the gum line and provides support for the crown.
Crown: The crown is the visible part of the tooth replacement. It is usually made of materials such as porcelain or ceramic and is custom-designed to match the surrounding natural teeth.

The Implant Procedure:
Evaluation: Before the procedure, the dentist assesses the patient's oral health through X-rays and examinations to determine if they are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
Surgery: The implant fixture is surgically placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. It is then left to integrate with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
Healing Period: Osseointegration typically takes several weeks to a few months. During this time, the implant becomes firmly anchored to the jawbone.
Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant, and the gum tissue is allowed to heal around it.
Crown Placement: Finally, a custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing the dental implant restoration.
Advantages of Dental Implants:
Natural Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth.
Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Functionality: Implants restore normal biting and chewing functions.
Preservation of Jawbone: Implants help prevent the loss of jawbone density that can occur when a tooth is lost.
