Custom Dental Implants in Mount Olive Township, NJ
Serving Mount Olive & Budd Lake, NJ
Before the development of dental implants, dentures were the only
alternative to replacing a missing tooth or teeth.
Implants by Dr. Abrams are synthetic structures that are placed in
the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored
to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for
an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be
used to attach dentures.
Not everyone is a candidate for a dental implant, however. For a
successful implant to take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density
and have a strong immune system. In all cases, dental implants require
strict oral hygiene.
Implants are so well designed that they mimic the look and feel of natural
teeth. Implants are usually made of a synthetic yet biocompatible material
like metal or ceramic.
Surgery is necessary to prepare the area for an implant and place the
implant in the mouth. Following the procedure, a period of time is
required for the implant to take hold and for bone tissue to build up and
anchor the device. In some cases, metal posts are inserted into the
implant during a follow-up procedure to connect the tooth.
Because implants require surgery, patients are administered anesthesia
and, if necessary, antibiotics to stave off infection following the
procedure.
Like any restoration, implants require diligent oral hygiene and proper
care to ensure they last a long time.
