How Dental Implants Work

Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of three main parts: the implant post, which is surgically placed in the jawbone, the abutment, which connects the post to the crown; and the crown itself, which is the visible part of the tooth that is custom-made to match your natural teeth.

Dental Implant Restoration

At Orwig Dental Co., we specialize in restoring the visible portion of your dental implant. Once your dentist has placed the implant post and it has healed, we create and attach a custom crown to complete your smile. The result is a strong, natural-looking tooth that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Choosing dental implants offers numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options:

  • Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like your natural teeth, helping you smile with confidence.
  • Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and reliable option.
  • Improved Oral Health: Implants help prevent bone loss and maintain the structure of your jaw, supporting overall oral health.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Unlike dentures, implants are securely anchored in your jaw, eliminating the discomfort of shifting or slipping.
  • Restored Functionality: Implants allow you to eat, speak, and enjoy life without worrying about missing teeth.

Signs It’s Time to Talk About Dental Implants

If you’re experiencing any of the following, it might be time to discuss dental implants with Dr. Allyson Orwig:

Missing Teeth

If you have one or more missing teeth, implants can restore your smile and prevent further oral health issues that come from tooth loss.

Difficulty Chewing

Missing teeth can make eating difficult or uncomfortable. Implants can help you enjoy your favorite foods again.

Loose or Uncomfortable Dentures

If your dentures are causing discomfort or slipping, implants provide a more stable and permanent solution.

Bone Loss

Missing teeth can lead to bone loss in the jaw. Implants stimulate the bone and help maintain your jaw’s structure.

The Dental Implant Procedure

Restoring dental implants is a multi-step process that requires precision and expertise:

Consultation and Planning

Your journey begins with a consultation where Dr. Orwig will assess your oral health and discuss your goals.

Placement of the Implant Post

The Dentist will place the implant post into your jawbone. Over the next few months, the post will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.

Custom Crown Fabrication

Once the implant post has healed, Dr. Orwig will take impressions of your mouth to create a custom crown that matches your natural teeth in color, shape, and size.

Final Restoration

The custom crown is attached to the implant post, completing your smile and restoring full function to your teeth.
