Dental Implant Restorations

Have you ever seen a tooth after it falls out? It has a long tail on the end – a root that anchors the tooth in the jaw bone. The root supports the tooth and allows you to chew comfortably. Until recently, dentists had no means of replacing a missing tooth root. Now, with dental implants, we can closely mimic nature’s design and give you a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like the original and has no risk of getting a cavity.

What is a dental implant?
Dental implants have three parts. The first part is a titanium fixture that serves as a root. Bone tissue fuses with the titanium fixture, similar to a natural tooth root, over the course of several months. The titanium "root" provides support for the second and third parts – a replacement tooth (crown) and the post, a part that connects the fixture to the crown or bridge. Dr. Russo can also attach a bridge, partial, or dentures to a few implants. Whether you receive a single implant crown or an implant-supported prosthetic, your replacement will be firmly secured.

Are implants right for me?
An ideal implant patient would have enough bone tissue to support the implant, be healthy enough to withstand a minor oral surgery, and have relatively good oral health. Dr. Russo and our team will examine your bone tissue, medical status, and gums to determine if implants are the best solution for you. Most people can receive dental implants. Other options to replace missing teeth include bridges, dentures, and partials.

Dental implants have a 95-98% success rate.
