More on Dental implants

Dental implants are made up of a titanium post that is surgically inserted into your jaws to replace the missing tooth's root. They create stability, strength and prevent shrinkage and weakening of your jawbone.

The dentist then seals your gums and allows 3 to 6 months for osseointegration to occur, which is when the titanium post integrates with the rest of the jawbone.

Afterwards, your Lawrenceville dentist re-opens the area above the titanium post, inserts a screw, places an abutment above the screw and secures a crown on top that matches the rest of your teeth.

Taking care of your dental implants

  • Flossing at least once before bed
  • Getting professional dental cleanings and checkups every six months to remove hardened plaque
  • Brushing your teeth for at least two minutes twice a day, at least, while holding the brush at a 40-degree angle to clean hard-to-reach areas
  • Avoiding tobacco, smoking, and drinking too much coffee and tea

Advantages of dental implants

Dental implants provide the following advantages:

  • Restore one or more teeth roots
  • Dental implants are fixed in place so they don't fall out of place
  • They can last a lifetime if taken care of properly
  • They restore bite and chewing function

Dental implants are a restorative procedure that has come a long way in the last 40 years, according to the American Dental Association. If you have more questions about dental implants, call your dentists in Lawrenceville, NJ, at (609) 896-0700.
