What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are tooth replacement solutions designed to mimic the natural structure of a tooth, offering a permanent and durable replacement. A dental implant consists of three essential components:

dental implant post

Implant Root

The implant root is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it functions as a stable and secure anchor. Over time, the implant root fuses with the jawbone through a process known as osseointegration, providing a strong foundation for the replacement tooth.

dental abutment

The Abutment

The abutment is a connector piece that attaches to the implant root. It extends above the gumline and provides a secure attachment point for the crown.

Custom Crown

The crown is the visible part of the dental implant, resembling a natural tooth in both appearance and function. Crowns are crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

At Southcoast Dental, we provide our patients with the highest standard of dental care, and dental implants in Wareham, MA play a crucial role in achieving this goal. Here is a list of the advantages that come with choosing dental implants:

1

Improved Aesthetics

Dental implants closely resemble natural teeth, restoring the appearance of your smile and enhancing your self-confidence.

Enhanced Functionality

With dental implants, you can enjoy the full functionality of your teeth, including biting, chewing, and speaking, just as you would with natural teeth.
3

Long-Lasting Solution

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent tooth replacement option, potentially lasting a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
4

Preservation of Adjacent Teeth

Unlike traditional bridges that require the alteration of adjacent teeth, dental implants don’t affect neighboring healthy teeth, thereby preserving their integrity.
5

Improved Oral Health

Dental implants are easy to clean and maintain, promoting good oral hygiene and reducing the risk of gum disease and decay.
6

Comfort and Stability

Dental implants are securely anchored in your jawbone, eliminating the discomfort and instability often associated with removable dentures.
7

Customized Treatment

Each dental implant treatment is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals, ensuring personalized care.

What Conditions Do Dental Implants Fix/Treat?

Dental implants are an effective solution for addressing various dental issues and conditions. We understand that every patient's situation is unique, and dental implants offer tailored solutions to restore both oral health and confidence. Here are some common dental issues and conditions that dental implants can successfully fix and treat:

1

Missing Teeth

Whether you've lost a single tooth due to injury or have multiple gaps in your smile, implants offer a stable and permanent solution.

2

Tooth Decay

In cases in which tooth decay has damaged a tooth beyond repair, extraction may be necessary. Dental implants can replace lost tooth without affecting adjacent healthy teeth.

3

Failed Restorations

If you have previously received dental bridges or dentures that no longer provide the desired function or comfort, dental implants can be used to secure and stabilize these restorations, improving their performance.

4

Bone Loss

Tooth loss can lead to bone loss in the jaw, which can affect the overall structure of your face and smile. Dental implants promote bone preservation and stimulate natural bone growth.

Single Implants

Even a single missing tooth can impact the aesthetics of your smile, as well as lead to functional issues that affect your mouth and jaw. Adjacent teeth may shift and occupy the empty space, resulting in difficulty chewing and an uncomfortable bite.

A single dental implant from the Southcoast Dental team will restore your smile function and beauty, while eliminating issues associated with traditional dental bridges. Once the implant fuses with your underlying bone and is restored with a zirconia crown, you may forget it isn't a real tooth after a brief adjustment period!

Implant-Supported Dentures

While traditional dentures rest on top of your gums and stay in place with a combination of suction and adhesive, implant-supported dentures offer greater stability and security. With just a few dental implants connected to a full-arch denture, you'll experience far better functionality.

Because a few missing tooth roots are replaced with implants, this prevents progressive bone loss and slippage, even with a removable overdenture. During your consultation, Dr. James Kiehl will discuss the details and your preferences to determine whether a removable or fixed denture best meets your clinical and lifestyle needs.

Dental Bridges

Implant-retained bridges consist of two or more implants that are surgically placed into your jawbone to support a dental bridge. This type of implant restoration is used to replace multiple missing teeth in a row, whereas a conventional dental bridge is only strong enough to replace a single missing tooth.

After the implants integrate with your jawbone, this type of bridge offers greater stability and longevity, while also reducing the risk of gum recession. The bridge is custom-made to match the shape, size, and color of your surrounding teeth, while eliminating the need for modification of healthy adjacent teeth and preserving the integrity of your jawbone.

Full-Mouth Dental Implants

If you have numerous missing or failing teeth, full-mouth dental implants in Wareham, MA offer a transformative restorative solution. At Southcoast Dental, Dr. Kiehl and our team utilize advanced technology and a patient-focused approach to restore your smile functionality and confidence.

With the all-on-four to six protocol, a strategic number of dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone to support a complete set of prosthetic teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, full-mouth dental implants offer superior stability and functionality because they're fixed and prevent bone loss.
