Dental implants are the best modern-day solution for missing teeth. Small, cylindrical titanium fixtures replace missing tooth roots and provide a stable base for replacement teeth that feel, function and look like natural teeth. Backed by 50+ years of practical clinical research, dental implants are the most reliable and long-lasting tooth replacement option, boasting a 95% success rate.
There are two types of ADA-approved dental implants:
1. Endosteal implants - These metal bases are surgically implanted directly into the jaw bone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery connects a post to the original implant. Finally, an artificial tooth or teeth is attached to the post.
2. Subperiosteal implants - These consist of a metal frame fitted into the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed in the jawbone. Posts attached to the frame protrude through the gums. Artificial teeth are then mounted to the posts.
To receive implants, you need healthy gums and proper bone structure. They must be able to support the implant. You must also commit to keeping these structures healthy. Diligent oral hygiene and regular dental visits are crucial for the long-term success of dental implants.
Replacing a loose or missing tooth is not just a cosmetic issue, it affects your overall oral health. Every tooth is surrounded by an alveolar bone in the jaw. If you lose a tooth and don’t have it replaced, the supporting bone will begin to degrade and melt away. The remaining teeth then begin to shift in order to fill the empty space. This causes issues with bite alignment and aesthetics. Other facial structures such as your jaw, joints, muscles and skin may be affected by a missing tooth.
Replace a missing tooth or multiple teeth as soon as possible. Have an implant take the lost tooth’s place. This may involve extracting a dying tooth to do it.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how your TCD dentist will replace your tooth:
If you have lost your alveolar bone, there is still hope for implants. Though the alveolar bone is gone for good once it decays, a skilled Madison cosmetic dentist can recreate the bone through grafting, producing the support needed for an implant. Once the implant is placed, it needs time to heal before a crown can be installed. It generally takes a few months to complete the implant process, but the results are worth it.

Certain pre-existing medical conditions can complicate the implant process, but it depends on overall patient health.
