What are dental implants?
Though artificial, dental implants have a similar structure to natural teeth, making dental implants a durable replacement option. Dental implants consist of the implant body and abutment and may include an abutment fixation screw to secure the artificial tooth, bridge, or denture. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple, or an entire arch. You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you’re in good general and oral health, have adequate bone in your jaw, and have healthy gum tissue.
What is the dental implant process?
Dental implants are a durable option for replacing natural teeth. Typically, there are several steps in the dental implant procedure. First, our Jonesboro dentist will evaluate your gums to determine whether you need bone grafting. If your gums are in good health, the surgery in which the implant will be placed will be scheduled. Once the implant is placed, the implant area needs to heal before the abutment, and the artificial tooth are placed. After your follow-up appointment, you’ll be free to enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling confidently once again!
