What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are constructed for placement in the jaw to replace a tooth or multiple teeth. The actual implant is made out of titanium posts with specially treated surfaces. Dental implants can be placed to restore a single tooth, or “bridged” together to multiple teeth.
There are really three separate components to the dental implant—the physical implant post, the abutment, and the crown.
- The dental implant is the titanium “post” that is placed into the bone. This post acts just like a natural tooth root.
- The abutment fits onto the dental implant as an “adapter” or “top” to the screw. This is the piece that fits between the crown and the post.
- The crown is an actual ceramic tooth that goes on top of the abutment. The crown is the only visible structure of the dental implant and is designed to look just like your natural, healthy teeth.
The Dental Implant Procedure at Grove City Center for Dentistry
Your dental implant journey starts with a friendly consultation where we’ll examine your oral health using advanced imaging to determine if implants are right for you. We’ll develop a personalized plan together before gently placing a titanium post into your jawbone under anesthesia.
During the healing period, your body performs the remarkable process of osseointegration as the implant becomes part of you. Once healed, we’ll attach an abutment and crown that perfectly matches your smile.
The best part?
With proper care, your dental implants can last a lifetime—unlike other tooth replacement options that require replacement every decade or so.
Our patients are often surprised by how comfortable the process is, and many tell us they wish they hadn’t waited so long to restore their smile and confidence with this permanent solution.
We’ll be with you every step of the way, ensuring your comfort and answering any questions you might have throughout your journey to a complete, healthy smile.
Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?
You may be a candidate for dental implants, depending on some factors.
Because the dental implant fuses to the jaw bone, ideal patients must have enough bone to hold and support the physical implant. Your gums must also be healthy enough to recover from dental surgery.
Dr. Simone will examine your mouth and review your digital x-rays to determine if enough bone exists. If you do not have adequate bone structure due to bone loss, Dr. Simone may need to perform a bone grafting procedure to provide additional support.
