The Villages® Community, FL Dental Implants Are a Predictable Option
Why are dental implants different than conventional forms of rehabilitative dental work?
In fact, research shows that a well maintained dental implant has a 98% chance of lasting for the rest of your life.
A dental implant is a biocompatible, artificial “tooth root” made of materials that trigger new bone growth within the jaw. This process called “osseointegration” is what fuses the implant into your bone and makes it a permanent part of your body. Compared to other types of modern tooth replacements, implant therapy can be the only permanent solution.
While the majority of a dental implant rests below the gum line, in a “socket” that resembles the root of your natural teeth, a very small part of the implant is visible just above the gums. On top of this surface our dental implant dentist will attach what is called an “abutment,” which is what your new crown, bridge, or stabilized denture will be attached to.
