Implant Prosthodontics Back to Service

If you have one or more missing teeth, you can be impacted in more ways than one:

  • It can compromise your oral health as it can cause cavities
  • The gap can become more prone to infections and diseases
  • The smile is impacted and it can be embarrassing in social situations
  • The symmetry of the face can change as the gap changes the shape of your mouth and the bone deteriorates
  • Difficulty in speech
  • Difficulty in chewing food

There can be several reasons for missing teeth, however, the impact can be great. Getting an implant is a practical solution that can help restore your smile and optimize the functionality of your mouth again. Implants look and feel just like your natural teeth and can last for years if proper oral health and regular check-ups take place. An implant is really a prosthetic tooth and has three parts:

The Implant Device: This is the part that is placed in the jaw. This is typically made of titanium and is very well accepted by the body. This part acts as the natural tooth root and anchors the implant.

The Abutment: This is the foundation of your new tooth that connects the crown to the implant.
The Crown: This is the part that looks and acts like your natural tooth. The shape and coloring is matched to your teeth and will restore your smile.
