Dental Implants
Missing teeth can lead to serious complications later down the road, such as a misaligned bite, crooked teeth, and bone deterioration. Luckily, patients have more tooth replacement options than ever before. At Salem Dental Arts we specialize in several full-tooth restorations, including dental implants in Salem, MA. Dental implants have revolutionized the way we treat tooth loss. Thanks to their many benefits, it's no wonder that implants have become the industry standard for tooth replacement. An implant-supported restoration is the next best thing to your natural teeth!
What Is A Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that we surgically embed below the gum tissue and into the jawbone. The implant post serves as the root component of a prosthesis. After a brief healing period the post is attached to an abutment, or support structure, that links the implant to the restoration. Thanks to technological advancements implants can be used to support a single crown, a fixed bridge, or even a full-arch restoration!
Single Tooth Replacement With An Implant
People can be missing a single tooth for a variety of reasons, including trauma. We see many young patients who come in with a missing tooth after taking a blow to the face while playing sports or even roughhousing. These accidents happen daily and the teeth more commonly lost are the front teeth. It is vital to replace any missing teeth, especially at a young age. One of the most popular options is single-tooth implants. Contact our
