Dental implants comprise two procedural parts: the implant post and the implant restoration. The implant post is best described as the artificial "root" of the replacement tooth. Made out of titanium, the post is placed in either the mandible (jaw) or maxilla (upper) and will integrate with the patients existing bone to fuse and provide proper structure and support for the final restoration.
The implant restoration is the "crown", or top, of the tooth and is placed like a cap over the implant to mimic a natural result. The restoration itself is custom made to match the alignment and shade of your smile and can be used with the same utility as a normal tooth.
Dental implants will require multiple dental appointments to our office and are best designed to be set in motion after a thorough implant consultation with the Doctor. For more information regarding dental implants call the office at (856) 589-3803.
