Let Dental Implants Replace Your Missing Teeth

Discover the wonderful benefits you’ll enjoy when you get dental implants to treat your tooth loss.

Are you wondering what the right treatment option is after tooth loss? We know how challenging it can be to choose the ideal restoration to dental-implantsuit your needs, which is why our Madison, TN, dentists Drs. Mark and Andrew Thomasson are here to help make the decision easier. We offer a full range of tooth replacement options. One restoration that more and more adults are turning to in order to replace missing teeth is a dental implant.

What is a dental implant?

An implant is a metal screw or post that is surgically placed into a drilled hole in the jawbone. The implant itself isn’t visible when you smile since it will be under the gumline; however, a false tooth can be attached to the top of the post. The purpose of an implant is to replace the roots of your teeth, which provide your jawbone with the stimulation it needs to prevent bone loss (a complication of untreated tooth loss).

Can dental implants replace multiple teeth?

Just because a single implant is only designed to replace one missing tooth doesn’t mean that multiple implants cannot be placed along the arches of the jawbone to support dentures. Implant-supported dentures are ideal for patients with healthy jawbones that are having trouble keeping their dentures in place.

Getting dental implants can be particularly advantageous for patients who are missing all of their upper teeth, as it can be more challenging to keep full upper dentures in place. Implants ensure that dentures don’t shift or move around particularly when chewing or speaking.

What goes into getting a dental implant?

In order to get a dental implant our Madison, TN, restorative dentist will need to perform minor surgery. This can be done under local anesthesia, which will numb the area prior to opening up the gums and placing the implant into the jawbone.

During the healing process, which can take anywhere from three to six months, the jawbone will heal around the implant and fuse together with the metal post to become one permanent unit. From there, we can attach the false tooth or dentures on top of the implant.
