What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium metal. It is inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of the missing tooth. An artificial replacement tooth is attached to the implant. The implant acts as an anchor to hold the replacement tooth in place. The implant process begins with a visit to a specialist who will place the implant. After the implant has been placed and has healed, you will return to East End Dental where we will complete the final restoration. Dental implants can support single crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Single Tooth
If you are missing a single tooth, an implant can be placed to fill in the missing space. Once the specialist has placed the implant, you will return to East End Dental. We will attach an abutment to your implant and from there, we will design a crown for you. This will look and function the same as a natural tooth.
Dentures
Removable dentures can be supported by two or more implants that provide stability. The denture “snaps” onto the implants and can be removed for cleaning. It is different from a conventional denture because it provides retention in the mouth, functioning more like natural teeth.
Fixed implant supported dentures are a more durable solution with teeth secured on four or more dental implants. This type of denture cannot be removed.

Multiple Teeth
When replacing several teeth or all of your teeth, a fixed bridge is anchored to your dental implants. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by spanning an area that has no teeth. The bridge is held firmly in place by dental implants on each side of the missing tooth or teeth.
