WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

A dental implant is a replacement tooth option that has three main parts:

Dental implant

A bio-compatible titanium post that fuses to the jaw bone

Implant Abutment

Connects to the implant, at the gum line and secures the dental crown or overdenture

Prosthetic tooth (crown, bridge or denture)

This can be a dental crown for a single missing tooth or a dental bridge or denture for multiple missing teeth

DENTAL IMPLANTS RESTORE FUNCTION

Dental implants are the ideal treatment option for people who want a permanent, natural looking solution for missing or broken teeth. Although most dentists offer multiple treatment options for replacing teeth that are no longer functional, none can replicate the quality, effectiveness, and durability of natural teeth like dental implants.

DENTAL IMPLANT OPTIONS

Single Tooth Replacement

If you are missing a single tooth, Owings Mills dentist Dr. Nova can place one dental implant with a durable and esthetic crown. 

Multiple Teeth Replacement

If you are missing two or more teeth, Dr. Nova can place several dental implants to support a dental bridge or  denture.

If you are missing all of your teeth, dental implants can be used to support a full bridge or overdenture.
