What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants replace missing teeth using a surgically implanted post or screw that is affixed with an artificial tooth (crown). Dental implants offer greater oral health benefits than other types of dental restorations, such as dentures. This is because dental implants are the only dental restoration that functions like natural teeth.
The surgically implanted screw replicates the function of a natural tooth root. Once an implant is placed in the jaw, the bone, and the soft tissues begin to fuse with the implant in a process called osseointegration. Osseointegration not only secures the implant with the jaw but also promotes new tissue and bone growth, thus preventing any further loss of jaw bone. Once the process of osseointegration is complete, the implant is fitted with a custom dental crown that matches your other teeth in shape, size, and color.

Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants represent the best of the best in restorative dental treatments. Most patients are good candidates for dental implants, although additional procedures may be necessary before receiving dental implants. As a comprehensive oral surgery practice, even patients who have lived with missing teeth for an extended period can become candidates for dental implants.
For example, those who have lost significant bone may be excellent candidates for Zygoma implants. Alternatively, those who do not have sufficient bone height and density to support dental implants can become eligible after bone grafting surgery.
While no two patients are the same, general eligibility for dental implants includes:
- Missing one or more teeth
- Free of active gum disease
- Healthy enough to undergo surgery
- Non-smoker
- No chronic diseases or conditions that make surgery risky
- Committed to maintaining good oral health with regular dental care
