What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, providing a superior, permanent solution to restore your smile. They consist of three main parts: the implant, the abutment, and the implant restoration. The dental implant portion of your restoration is a titanium, screw-shaped post that is placed in the jawbone, mimicking the function of your natural tooth roots. The abutment is a connector that’s secured to your implant and holds your new replacement teeth in place.

At Scottsdale Dental Aesthetics, we offer a range of implant restorations, including the following:

  • Single Implants: A single tooth implant consists of a dental crown placed on an implant to replace a missing tooth. Your implant crown will mimic the function and appearance of a natural tooth, leaving you with a stable and durable restoration.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges: An implant-supported bridge is ideal for replacing two or more adjacent teeth. Your restoration is attached to dental implants on either side of the gap, delivering superior function and comfort.
  • Overdentures: These implant-supported dentures require as few as two implants to hold your denture in place. Our removable overdentures offer a more comfortable, stable, and functional alternative to traditional dentures.
  • All-on-4s: All-on-4s are superior tooth replacements designed to replace complete arches of missing teeth. They require as few as four implants per arch for support, delivering unmatched comfort, stability, and durability.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer many advantages that set them apart from other tooth replacement options, including the following:

  • They Look and Feel Natural: Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You can eat, talk, and smile confidently without worrying that your replacement teeth may shift or slip out of place.
  • They Prevent Bone Loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone deterioration and loss that often occurs with tooth loss. By preserving the bone, implants help maintain your facial structure and prevent the “sunken” appearance common with tooth loss.
  • They Improve Your Oral Health: Your implant restorations will prevent the adjacent teeth from shifting out of position, preventing crowded or misaligned teeth. They also redistribute the forces of your bite, preventing periodontal disease, uneven tooth wear, fracture, or even TMJ pain.
  • They Are Durable: Dental implants have an incredibly high success rate of over 95%. With proper care and maintenance, they can last a lifetime.
