Dental Implants

Implant Forms and Informtaion

Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper placement  and diligent patient maintenance. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. Dental implants are natural-looking and feel like your own teeth.

Even a single missing tooth can have a huge impact on your overall oral health, causing remaining teeth to shift and contributing to decay and gum disease. Dr. Joiner or Dr. Zwart can restore the tooth to its original form with a dental implant, which is the only tooth-replacement option that replaces the tooth, as well as the tooth’s root. A single titanium post anchored in the jawbone serves as the tooth’s root, and a custom-designed crown replaces the portion that shows when you smile. Implant-supported crowns look and feel natural, and they help prevent the jawbone deterioration that accompanies tooth loss.

Replacing a single tooth with a dental implant has become a very common procedure and the technology has improved over the years. Therefore, simple cases with ample bone are able to be completed in our office. Because of this we are able to keep your cost lower making the procedure more affordable.
