Discussing Dental Implants with Dr. Caughman Part 1
Discussing Dental Implants with Dr. Caughman Part 1
JUNE 17, 2013 BY EVANS DENTAL
This will be the first in a series of discussions about dental implants. Implants have been around for many years but they have become more common in the last decade. Dental implants have many uses but they are not a replacement for natural teeth. The best solution is to keep your natural teeth. However, if existing teeth are hopeless or teeth are missing, dental implants may be one of many options. There should always be a discussion with your dental provider about your options and what solutions are best for your situation.

Dental implants are titanium threaded screw-like devices. These devices are made to be placed in bone and the bone integrates with the implants over a period of time, a process called osseointegration. Implants can be immediately placed after a tooth is extracted (taken out), or it can be placed at a later date, after the bone heals. When the implant is ready, it will be restored with a crown to make it look like a tooth. We can have single implants or multiple implants placed depending on the goal. Implants can be restored with bridges or dentures. These options will be discussed in later blogs. Again, implants are just another option for replacing missing teeth. Ask your dental provider what is best for you.
