At Norton Family Dental, we pride ourselves on offering top-of-the-line implant dentistry, revolutionizing the way you experience dental care. Our highly skilled team is dedicated to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile using the most advanced implant dentistry techniques.
Dental implants offer a durable, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth by addressing both the root and crown components. Each implant is made up of two essential parts: the implant post and the implant restoration. The implant post functions as an artificial tooth root, anchoring the replacement tooth securely to your jawbone. It stimulates healthy bone growth, ensuring your jaw remains strong and preventing future bone loss. The implant restoration serves as the visible part of your new tooth and can take the form of a crown, dental bridge or denture, depending on the number of teeth being replaced.
The implant process begins with a surgical procedure in which the implant post is inserted into your jawbone. After surgery, a healing period is necessary to allow the implant to integrate naturally with the bone. This process, known as osseointegration, creates a stable foundation for your restoration. Once healing is complete, your dentist will collaborate with you to design a customized restoration that complements your smile and fits your functional needs. The final restoration will be attached to the implant post, completing the treatment.
Implants are designed to function just like natural teeth, making them a permanent solution for tooth loss. With proper care, they can last for many years. Maintaining dental implants involves the same routine as caring for your natural teeth — daily brushing and flossing, along with routine checkups and professional cleanings. Regular preventive care will ensure the longevity of your implant and keep your smile healthy.
Most individuals who have lost teeth are candidates for dental implants. However, it is essential that your gums and remaining teeth are in good health. If issues like tooth decay or gum disease are present, treatment will be required before proceeding with implants to ensure a successful outcome.
