Have you lost your teeth to injury, decay, or gum disease? Dental implants in Ormond Beach, Florida, offer a solid, functional, and realistic-looking solution for missing teeth. Designed to mimic your natural tooth from the crown to the root structure, dental implants provide optimal aesthetics and function, unlike other teeth replacements.
Are you thinking about replacing your lost teeth with implants? Regardless of the cause of your tooth loss, schedule an appointment with Cooper Dental Group to overcome your “gappy” smile with dependable and predictable dental implants.
A dental implant has three components. The first part is the implant itself, a screw-like titanium fixture surgically placed in the jawbone. The titanium post replaces your natural tooth root structure. The second part is a small metal connector known as an abutment. This prosthesis is attached to the implant and juts out of the gum line to connect with the final restoration.
The last part of an implant is the replacement teeth, which could be a crown, bridge, or denture—it all depends on the number of teeth lost. Once we piece the different components together, the results are new false teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Since dental implants involve a surgical procedure, we’ll thoroughly screen your oral and overall health to ensure a successful and safe outcome. To do this, the dentist reviews your medical history and lifestyle to evaluate potential risks. Smokers and patients with diabetes, osteoporosis, or immune-suppressing medications may need further evaluation before implant surgery.
We’ll use digital X-rays and 3D scans to examine your oral and jawbone health. For successful implantation, your jawbone must have sufficient volume and density. You’ll need a bone graft to replenish lost bone tissue if you have bone loss. Furthermore, candidates must have healthy gums and teeth and maintain good oral hygiene.
The dental implant procedure takes several months, but it’s worth the wait because you get something close to the real deal. Dental implants replicate the sensation, function, and appearance of your natural teeth, making them a fantastic investment in your smile and confidence.
