When Is Dental Implant Surgery Needed?

Dealing with a less than stellar smile can certainly be a drag and impact your daily quality of life. Fortunately, your dentist in Greensburg, PA may recommend dental implants to remedy this issue and restore your smile. 

About Dental Implants

Dental implant surgery in Greensburg, PA is often necessary when traditional dentures no longer provides the patient with the necessary support and function. Implants are composed of titanium and other materials which can last for many years, providing you with a comfortable, stable smile. Dental implant surgery is typically an outpatient procedure that can be completed in just one or two hours. Dental implant surgery is a procedure that can also be used to replace missing teeth.

The surgery involves placing artificial dental implants into the patient’s jawbone. These implants can then provide support for teeth that have been lost or damaged. There are a number of factors that may lead to the need for dental implant surgery, including: advanced age; tooth loss caused by trauma, disease, or decay; and insufficient bone density in the jawbone. In addition to replacing missing teeth, dental implants may also be used for other purposes. For example, a dental implant may be placed in the jawbone to support implant supported dentures.

Implants can also be used to restore the function of natural teeth that have been removed due to decay or injury. The construction of a dental implant involves the placement of two metal posts into the jawbone (the abutment and the crown), which are then secured with screws. There are two basic types of dental implants: single-unit and multiple-unit. Single-unit dental implants typically consist of a post (an abutment) and a crown (a replacement tooth).

Caring for Your Investment

Although dental implants function like natural teeth, it is important to care properly for them. They are an investment that is meant to last a lifetime! This means ensuring that they are cleaned per instructions from your dentist, avoiding any harsh, acidic, hard, or sticky foods, making sure to keep up with regular dental appointments to make sure things are going smoothly.
