Naples Dental Implants
Dental implants restore lost chewing ability, improve appearance, and give real self-confidence to patients who need them. At The Modern Dentist, we use dental implants to restore both the look and the function of patients’ teeth.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A is a biocompatible, man-made substitute to replace missing tooth roots, usually titanium-based.
Dental implants come in various shapes and sizes to fit different situations. Most are cylinders placed into the jawbone and allowed to heal undisturbed while the bone heals around them, locking them in like an anchor. After a few months, the dental implants are used as a foundation for dental crowns to replace missing teeth.
While there are several types of dental implants available, the most widely accepted and successful is the implant. This implant uses titanium to successfully fuse the implant to the jawbone, forming a structural and functional connection between the living bone and the implant.
How Dental Implants Restore Your Smile
Dental implants form the foundation for other restorations, such as the implant-supported bridge or implant-supported dentures. Typically, a dental implant is topped with a dental crown.
An implant crown is a composite reproduction of the lost tooth that is placed over the dental implant or post. The implant crown replicates the original tooth in shape, size, strength, and appearance.
When the crown adheres in place, it fully encases the entire visible portion of the dental implant. That way, you can speak, eat, laugh, and smile as if you have a natural tooth.
