Dental Implants in Columbus

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are used to replace individual teeth. In addition to the cosmetic benefits of replacing missing teeth, implants offer exceptional durability. The strength of the implant is possible due to titanium’s natural compatibility with the body. This compatibility allows the implant to merge with the jaw bone over time, which leads to a permanent replacement that functions just like natural teeth. For many patients, dental implants can help restore their confidence and improve the overall quality of their life.

What is the Dental Implant Procedure at Central Ohio Periodontics?

The doctors surgically embed a small titanium post into the jaw bone in the areas where the teeth are missing. Next, a healing abutment or attachment will be secured over the exposed area of the implant. Finally, the restorative doctor will place a final abutment and dental crown over the implant. The custom-made crown is thin and tooth-colored, which helps to further enhance the aesthetic appearance of your smile.

Dental Implants can replace a single missing tooth.

Dental implants are now considered to be the best solution for replacing a single missing tooth, but not just because they lack the complications associated with the other treatments. Dental implants are unique in their ability to integrate with the existing bone and tissue to form an extremely strong and enduring bond that allows the replacements to feel and function just like your own natural teeth. Dental implants offer a level of permanence that no other replacement option can provide.

Dental Implants can replace multiple missing teeth.

Dental implants are extremely versatile. They can replace an entire set of teeth in the All-on-4® procedure or a single tooth. The doctors will recommend dental implants when a patient is looking for a permanent replacement solution.
