What Are Dental Implants?
Dealing with unsalvageable teeth is essential to the overall health and appearance of the mouth. To help North Platte, NE patients reliably overcome extracted or missing teeth, Dr. Charles J. Boettcher proudly offers lifelike dental implants for tooth restoration. A fixed implant is composed of a metal screw that acts as an artificial tooth root. A personalized crown, bridge, or full arch replaces the viewable portion of the missing tooth (or numerous teeth). If you are dealing with tooth loss or require tooth removal, schedule an oral exam at Apex Dentistry and learn more about your fixed implant options.
What Is the Dental Implant Process?
The technique for dental implants includes the surgical positioning of the screw and the attachment of a realistic dental restoration (including full-arch pieces, crowns, or bridges). Once your mouth is prepared for the implant, it will be numbed with anesthesia. Sedation techniques can also be used to help you to feel more comfortable throughout your operation. The fixed implant will be surgically placed within your jaw at the proper area and granted a period of time to merge with the jaw through a process called osseointegration. Once the treatment area has fully healed (often several months), Dr. Boettcher will set a specially made denture, crown, or bridge and check the alignment of the bite.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are usually preferred due to the significant scope of wellness benefits they provide. As efficient restorations, implants:
- Do not make use of adjacent teeth for support
- Might enhance your self-confidence while speaking and anytime you smile
- Provide improved chewing strength and durability of oral restorations
- Act like natural teeth in function and look
- Promote the consumption of a healthy diet
- Integrate with the jawbone to help maintain jawbone health and function
- Serve as a long-lasting tooth replacement treatment
