Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

Dental implants which were invented in 1952, in today’s world are considered as the standard of care in dentistry for replacement of missing teeth. A dental implant is a fixture done through surgery into the jaw bone. It generally acts as a replacement for the root of the missing tooth and is considered as ‘artificial tooth root’ which holds the replaced tooth and serves as a bridge. We dispense service of dental implant West Roxbury in which dental implant is fused directly to the jawbone. This is done because it furnishes great stability and stands on its own without affecting the neighbouring teeth. The procedure of fusion between the jawbone and the dental implant is known as “osseointegration”.

Nowadays most of the dental implants are made up of metal titanium which allows it to nicely integrate with the jaw bone without being felt as a foreign object in your body. Implants West Roxbury by ABS Boston has a success rate for dental implants up to 98% in which we replace a single tooth, many teeth and even all the teeth in order to restore the function as well as aesthetics.

Types of dental implants –

 Dental implants are basically of two types –

• Endosteal
• Subperiosteal

In Endosteal, implantation is done in the jaw whereas in Subperiosteal, the implantation rests on the top of the jawbone under the gum tissue. These implants are no longer in use due to their poor results as compared to the endosteal dental implants.

Our dental surgeon of dental implants West Roxbury examines the area to be considered for the dental implant and makes a clinical assessment of the patient whether or not he/she is a good candidate for a dental implant. There are other options also like complete denture or partial denture, a fixed dental bridge etc. but dental implants have many benefits over the others. Where dentures can affect the patient’s taste and spoil the experience of eating food, dental bridgework depends on the existing natural teeth for support, where in dental implants missing teeth can be replaced without altering the adjacent teeth. Moreover, as the dental implants are penetrated into the bone structure, they are quite stable and give a feeling of their own natural teeth. So, the patients that have lost a tooth or all their teeth due to decay or any gum disease of the lower or upper jaw and want comfortable and stable teeth replacement can contact ABS Boston today.
