Have You Heard About Dental Implants?

For many, dental implants are a great solution because even on very close inspection you may not know they ever lost a tooth. That is what dental implants do, they replace lost teeth, and they do more than look the part. They are meant to be a permanent restoration, which means that they will act just like your natural teeth, but are also the longest-lasting among similar treatments. To learn more please contact Dr. Fahed Hattar of Dr. Hattar Dental and Orthodontics in Victorville, CA.

What Is a Dental Implant?

The actual implant is a titanium post that is implanted into the spot of the missing tooth. It will serve a similar role to the root of a natural tooth. Because it is permanently bonded to the bone through a process called osseointegration, it will provide long-lasting support.

 An abutment is attached To this post that serves to hold the crown that will ultimately take the place of your new tooth. Finally, a crown that looks just like a natural tooth is placed after the dental implant has had a chance to heal.

How Are They Different Than Other Treatments?

Because of the way they're supported, they don't rely on adjacent teeth the way a dental bridge does. So they can replace a single tooth without having to impact its neighbors in any way.

But if you're missing more than one tooth, dental implants also provide an answer. With either partial or full dental implant-supported dentures you can replace multiple teeth but without the usual complaints of traditional dentures.

Dental Implants in Victorville, CA

Dental implants do require a longer initial investment of time compared with other treatments, but the results are meant to last a lifetime. They also require that you keep good dental health habits and avoid smoking because it can severely delay the healing process, and may outright disqualify you from the procedure.
