Bridgeport Dentists uses dental implants, because dental implants are a great solution for patients with missing teeth. Bridgeport Dentists recommend quickly finding a solution, like dental implants, for missing teeth because the jawbone begins to recede once gaps caused by missing teeth occur. Dental implants are titanium and surgically placed into the jawbone. Dental implants serve as the root of a tooth, because teeth are placed over the dental implants.
Bridgeport Dentists Dental Implant Procedure:
· Anesthesia is given because dental implants are a surgical procedure
· Bridgeport Dentists then place dental implants above or into the
jawbone, or below the gums
· Once the dental implants are set, the jawbone adjusts and grows
around the dental implants forming a very strong, permanent bond
· A natural-looking crown is placed on the implant
Bridgeport Dentists patients have several dental implant options:
Root Form Dental Implant - The most common type of implant. Its shape is similar to a natural tooth root and is designed for placement into the jawbone
Bone Grafting - When insufficient jawbone exists for a dental implant, bone grafs fill in the jawbone, which provide enough bone for the dental implants
Plate Form – When bone is so narrow that root form dental implants and bone grafting cannot be performed, flat, long dental implants are fit into the narrow jawbone
Subperiosteal Implant - Custom made implants that sit on top of the jawbone
Bridgeport Dentists recommend dental implants for certain patients because
they:
· Are more stable than dentures and bridges
· Are extremely secure, natural looking and practical
· Feel comfortable
· Restore proper chewing function
· Have an implant success rate of more than 93%
