Dental implants are rapidly becoming a common procedure to replace teeth that have been lost. Dental implants utilize a titanium fixture that has been surgically placed into the bone to anchor a false tooth. Dental implants not only replace the crown of the tooth but the root portion as well, helping to better preserve bone levels after the loss of a tooth. The first stage of dental implants is surgically placing the titanium fixture in the bone. This is commonly done at a specialists’ office and requires a healing period of 3-6 months depending on the location of placement. Once healing has occurred, and the fixture is completely integrated in the bone, an impression is taken, and a custom-made tooth is fabricated at the lab that will either screw into the fixture or be cemented on through a separate component. Multiple teeth can be replaced using a series of implant fixtures and one of many designs based on the case. Dental implants are often considered the “gold standard” for replacing teeth and yield excellent functional and aesthetic results with high success rates.
