Dental Implants Can Provide a Long-Term Solution to Repair Missing Teeth

At Dublin Dental Care, we can restore missing teeth and your smile with dental implants. Unlike loose dentures or cumbersome bridges, implants utilize a titanium “root” that securely bonds to the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for highly functional and aesthetic artificial teeth. We restore dental implants with crowns, bridges, or dentures, and we can either surgically place your dental implants in our office or refer you to the best oral surgeons in the central Ohio area for the surgical placement. Either way, we will coordinate your treatment to ensure you receive high-quality care.

Dental Implants: More Than Just a Cosmetic Improvement

A missing tooth, or several missing teeth, can have a number of impacts on a patient’s dental and overall health, including:

  • Reduced Ability to Eat and Swallow Properly
  • Shifting or Sagging Facial Structure
  • Embarrassment Due to Significant Gaps While Smiling
  • Poor Quality of Speech
  • Increased Risk of Periodontal Disease

What the Dental Implant Process Looks Like

Dental implants offer an excellent, functional, and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Once a dental implant is placed in the jawbone, it is typically allowed to heal for three to six months. This healing period enables the implant to securely bond with the jawbone before a crown, bridge, or denture is placed on it. During this time, our implant patients receive an appropriate temporary prosthesis (cap, crown, or denture) to cover the implant.

Once the implants are ready to be restored, our dentists at Dublin Dental Care will begin the process of creating and placing the final restoration. Using a very detailed three-dimensional model of your existing teeth and spaces, the replacement appliance or prosthetic device will provide a functional bite and a very natural-looking smile.

Implant Supported Crowns

Implant supported crowns allow a patient to achieve a natural looking smile through the use of porcelain crowns, or caps, that closely match surrounding teeth colors.

Implant Supported Bridges

Implant supported bridges are an extremely durable solution for patients who are missing just a few teeth. Implant supported bridges consist of dental implants and crowns as a single unit.

Implant Supported Removable Dentures

Implant supported removable dentures solve the most common inconveniences associated with traditional dentures. Designed to snap securely in place, this type of denture is usually superior to regular, non-implant supported dentures because it is not as dependent on the gums and jaw for stability and retention.

Implant Supported Fixed Dentures

Implant supported fixed dentures restore smiles with a prosthetic solution that requires less maintenance and material than traditional dentures. Fastened securely into place, these dentures can be conveniently removed and thoroughly cleaned by your dentist during your regular cleanings and exams.
