What are dental implants?

Dr. Glenn A. MacFarlane describes dental implants as restorations made to act as a natural tooth root once did. It is made of a material that is biocompatible with the body, ensuring it is safe and appropriate. Our practice avoids the use of metal restorations due to metal allergies and other complications that can arise. The implant looks like a small hardware screw and is placed during a surgical procedure into the jawbone. The upper portion of the implant is called the abutment and rests above the gumline. The abutment may be restored with a crown, bridge, or denture depending on the patient’s restoration goals. Implant-retained dentures, or “full mouth dental implants,” are a great solution for patients who want to maintain their natural bone while keeping full dentures in place.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Several advantages of dental implants include:

  • Longevity and permanency
  • Natural appearance and function
  • Maintenance of the natural bone
  • Avoidance of bone resorption
  • Full dependability with function and maintenance
  • Easy care, minimal attention
