What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a prosthetic replacement for a missing tooth. There are commonly three parts to what is described as an “implant” – the dental implant itself, which is inserted into the jawbone and serves as the “root” of the tooth; the abutment – the component that connects the dental implant to the third part – the overlying tooth or teeth, that you see in your mouth.

The dental implants placed at Atlas Dental Specialists are made of a titanium alloy, a biocompatible metal, and offer strength and durability as well as the unique property of fusing directly to bone – the process known as osseointegration. These same materials have been used for decades for hip, shoulder, and knee implants.

What are the Advantages of Implant Dentistry?

If you are wondering why more patients are becoming interested in this innovative technology, here are the top benefits of dental implants:

• Prevents bone loss in the jaw area
• Match and support surrounding natural teeth
• Prevent facial hollowing
• Allow for natural speech and the restoration of normal chewing ability
• Implants cannot decay like natural teeth
• Require the same hygiene care as natural teeth
• A lifetime solution to tooth loss
• Restore appearance and confidence in your smile!

What can dental implants be used for?

Drs. Nicholas and Mara Mangini are able to offer a number of different solutions utilizing dental implants:

Single Tooth Replacement

• A single tooth implant is anchored into your mouth using a titanium post that is implanted into your jaw. The “tooth” is then built to connect directly to the implant. Because a single tooth implant is anchored by the post placed into your jaw, the surrounding teeth are left alone and perfectly intact and can preserve the integrity of your jawbone.

Implant-Supported Bridges

• An implant-supported bridge offers an alternative to a partial denture or “flipper”. Two or more posts are implanted into your jawbone to help secure your new teeth in place. They provide you with a permanent, natural feeling, long-term replacement for multiple missing teeth.

Full Arch Restoration

• At Atlas Dental Specialists, we can even replace an entire arch of teeth using dental implants. This type of restoration typically uses between 4 and 6 posts to secure your teeth into your mouth, providing you with a stable, more natural feeling alternative to a traditional denture. Some full-arch options “snap” into place and can be removed for cleaning purposes while others are “fixed” in place and can only be removed by your dentist. Benefits include enhanced stability, natural-looking, easily cleanable, and comfortable.
