Dental Implants

Are you looking for the best tooth-replacement option for a missing tooth?  What is the most natural restoration available? 

I Smile kck offers dental implants for replacing lost teeth.  Patients are able to return to a normal life of smiling, laughing, talking, and eating with confidence.  Implants were first offered in the 1960s, but advancements in dental technology have made them more popular in recent years. 

Implants are placed during a minor surgical procedure that is performed in the oral surgeon’s office.  A titanium screw is placed in the jawline.  An abutment piece is connected to the top of the screw which holds the dental crown.  The screw, abutment, and crown are the three components of the implant.  A temporary crown is placed until the jaw is fully healed (approximately three to six months).  When healed, a permanent crown is placed. 

A titanium screw is crucial to the success of implants since titanium has been shown to better fuse with bone in the human body.  This bone fusion provides a more stable base for the crown and the ability to withstand more chewing force. 

Implants are considered the most natural restoration method because of their ability to replace the missing root, which is the healthiest option when a tooth is lost.
