Dental Implants

Dental implants are unlike dentures or bridges. They offer a permanent dental solution that accommodates the entire tooth structure.

Teeth implants are made up of three main parts: the implant, abutment, and crown.

• The implant is a titanium screw-shaped post that sits under the gum tissue and replaces the missing tooth's roots.
• The abutment is a permanent connector that holds the crown to the implant.
• The crown is the top portion of the implant that is typically made of porcelain.

At Cream City Dental, we work closely with your oral surgeon or prosthodontist to create implant restorations after the dental implants are placed, completing the implant process. Our aesthetic tooth replacement options will fully restore the appearance and function of your missing teeth with outstanding, lifelike results.

Here are the types of implant restorations offered by your trusted team at Cream City Dental:

• Single Tooth Restorations: A dental crown made to look like your natural teeth is placed on a dental implant, fully restoring the form and function of a missing tooth.
• Implant-Supported Bridges: If two or more adjacent teeth go missing, implants can support a dental bridge with natural-looking prosthetic teeth, providing superior aesthetics, comfort, and stability.
• Implant-supported Dentures: We may recommend partial or complete implant-supported dentures if you are missing some or all of your teeth. Your new restorations sit securely on dental implants, giving you the confidence that they won't shift or slip.

Dental implants are today's gold standard for replacing missing teeth because of their stability, strength, durability, and exceptionally natural results. Once in place, your new dental implant restorations will look, feel, and function just like any of your natural teeth.

Dental implants provide an excellent tooth replacement for those missing teeth due to decay, injury, or periodontal disease. Here are some of the many benefits they offer:

• Enhanced physical appearance
• Improved speech
• More oral comfort
• Easier eating capacity
• Boosted self-esteem
• Sustained jawbone structure
• Improved overall oral health

Unfortunately, most people with dentures don't realize that the lack of healthy roots within their gum tissue can lead to the deterioration of their jawbones. Unlike dentures, teeth implants mimic the function of your tooth roots, which helps to keep your entire jawbone and oral health intact.
