One of the most exciting advances in modern dentistry is the great success of dental implants. Dental Implants can be used when natural teeth and roots are lost due to trauma or decay. Implants are also ideal for securing loose dentures and replacing partial dentures.
Dental implant can be thought of as artificial root that are securely anchored in the jaw. This cylindrical device made of medical grade titanium which is placed in the site of a missing tooth or teeth where it biologically bond with the bone and is capped with a ceramic crown that matches existing teeth. Dental implants can also be used to hold a dental bridge or dentures in place. If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants might be an option for you. To make sure dental implants are suitable for you, the dentist will make sure you are not suffering from gum disease, have healthy jawbone and don’t have any medical condition that affect bone healing.

The key to success in dental implant work is the planning and work up before any work starts. A through oral examination and x-rays including 3-d scans of the implant placement site are done to determine the best implant system and site for placement by your dentist at Heritage Dental Group. More time is spent planning so that the actual procedure is quick and effortless.
When placing implants, a hole is made in the bone where your tooth was removed, or a gap exists, and the implant is inserted. The implant has grooves, channels, or holes like Swiss cheese. These deliberate design features allow your bone to grow through, in and around the implant, integrating it into your jaw. Quite literally, bone grows into it! This piece of the implant acts as a bolt for the second phase of the implant placement. Once this lower bolt part is securely integrated into the bone, the top part is permanently screwed onto the implant. That completes the implant process, and your new “tooth” is now ready for a dental crown.
