The Purpose of Dental Implants

Losing a tooth can impact your oral health, mouth function, and smile appearance. However, dental implants can effectively replace a missing tooth, providing a natural-looking and functioning tooth replacement option. With dental implants, you can talk and use your teeth just like you would with your natural teeth. Contact our Flint, MI office to learn more about the benefits of dental implants.

Types of Dental Implants

There are two types of dental implants available, endosteal and subperiosteal. Endosteal implants are placed in the jawbone and are suitable for most patients. Subperiosteal implants are used for patients with thin jawbones, and they are placed above the jawbone. Our team can help you decide which type of dental implant is the best option for your specific needs.

Dental Implant Surgery

As part of the surgical procedure, a titanium post will be inserted into your jawbone. Subsequently, you will need to allow time for the jawbone to grow and bond with the implant. Once the implant is securely in place, your dentist will create impressions of your teeth to craft a natural-looking artificial tooth or crown that will be affixed to the implant. If you have any queries about the process, feel free to contact us, and we'll be happy to address them.

Dental Implant Surgery

During the surgery, we will embed a titanium post in your jawbone. Afterward, you will wait for the jawbone to grow and integrate with the implant. Once it is secure, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create a realistic-looking artificial tooth or crown that will be placed on top of the implant. If you have any questions about the process, call us today and we will discuss them with you.
