What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, a custom dental crown is attached on top, creating a permanent replacement that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.

Unlike dentures and partials that rest on the gums or dental bridges that rely on neighboring teeth for support, a dental implant stands entirely on its own — preserving your jawbone and surrounding teeth in the process.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with one or more missing teeth are potential candidates for dental implants. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth
• Have a fully developed jawbone
• Have adequate bone density to support the implant post
• Do not smoke, or are willing to quit during the healing period
• Are free of uncontrolled gum disease or active infection

Patients with insufficient bone density may still qualify for implants after a bone grafting procedure. Dr. Loveless will evaluate your bone structure using our 3D cone beam scanning technology during your consultation.

Benefits of Dental Implants in Montgomery, AL

• Natural Look and Feel: They are crafted to mimic both the look and performance of your natural teeth. The outcome is a restoration that seamlessly integrates with your smile and provides a comfortable feel within your mouth.
• Improved Oral Health: They help preserve your oral health. They prevent adjacent teeth from shifting and protect your jawbone. Furthermore, there is no need to modify healthy neighboring teeth, a common requirement when opting for conventional dental bridges.
• Durability and Longevity: With proper care, implants in Montgomery can last a lifetime.. This longevity makes them a cost-effective solution in the long run, as they eliminate the need for frequent replacements.
• Enhanced Confidence: They provide a stable and reliable solution for missing teeth, boosting your confidence to smile, speak, and eat without hesitation.
• Functional Restoration: Dental implants offer a fixed and stable solution, unlike removable dentures. This means you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about slipping or discomfort.
• Easy Maintenance: Dental implants need no special care—just brush and floss as usual.
• Versatility: Dental implants can replace a single missing tooth, several, or even all teeth. They suit various dental needs.

The Dental Implant Procedure: Step by Step

The dental implant procedure at Parkside Dental Care involves several crucial steps:

Step 1 — Consultation and 3D Planning

Dr. Loveless evaluates your oral health, reviews your medical history, and uses our 3D cone beam scanner to map your jawbone in precise detail. This technology allows for accurate implant placement planning before your procedure begins.

Step 2 — Implant Post Placement

The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. This post replaces the tooth root and provides the foundation for your final restoration. Sedation options are available to keep you comfortable throughout this step.

Step 3 — Osseointegration (Healing Period)

Over the following weeks to months, your jawbone bonds with the titanium post in a process called osseointegration. This creates the stable, permanent foundation that makes implants so durable. Most patients are able to continue normal daily activities during this period.

Step 4 — Placement of the Final Restoration

Once healing is complete, Dr. Loveless attaches your custom restoration to the implant post. Depending on how many teeth you are replacing, this may be a:

• Dental crown — for a single missing tooth
• Dental bridge — for multiple adjacent missing teeth
• Implant-supported denture — for full arch replacement (see All-on-Four® implants)
