Implants Q&A

 What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial teeth that attach directly to your jaw using a special post that is implanted into the bone. The post is made of titanium, a metal that is used in many types of implant surgeries, as well as joint replacement surgeries. Titanium is valued for its biocompatibility, which means it fuses with your natural bone better than other metals, which may cause allergic reactions. The post is implanted into your jaw where it will fuse with the bone over time. The prosthetic tooth or crown is attached to the post and designed to look and function just like a natural tooth.


Are implants better than dentures or bridges?

The decision to have an implant, a bridge or dentures is largely a personal decision. Implants have several advantages for many patients: Because they’re designed like your natural teeth, patients tend to find them more comfortable than either bridges or dentures, resulting in greater confidence. Plus, they can be cared for just like your natural teeth, and unlike dentures, they don’t require sticky adhesives to keep them in place. In addition to replacing one or more teeth, implants can also be used as anchors to attach dentures to prevent them from slipping.


What are CEREC restorations?

CEREC stands for chairside economical restorations of esthetic ceramic, and it’s a special system that enables patients to have restorations like crowns and bridges completed in a single day. The CEREC system uses computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) methods to craft restorations that look as natural as your own teeth for results that rival that of restorations made in a dental lab. And because they can be created right on site, you can have treatment completed more quickly and at a lower cost.
