Dental implants Brandon FL are surgically inserted artificial tooth roots into your jawbone. They fuse with your bone to create a lasting, secure base for attaching artificial replacement teeth—like crowns, bridges, or dentures—because they are made of biocompatible titanium or zirconia.

The Method

Your implant dentist will:

Look in your mouth.

Determine the strength and health of your jawbone.

Make sure you are a good candidate for implants.

Putting the dental implants Brandon FL in comes next. This requires carefully placing the titanium implant in the jawbone.

The implant is left to heal after placement. Four months is the typical duration for this.

A crown, bridge, or denture is attached after the wound has healed.

In some cases, it may be possible to insert the replacement tooth on the same day.

Your implant dentist can let you know if this is a good choice for you.

Parts of Dental Implants

Implant Screw

A post or dental implants Brandon FL screw is surgically placed in the jawbone. It has a tapered end and is designed to replace a natural tooth root. Most of its strength and stability come from the post length, which is normally around 18mm long.

We can screw an abutment into the hollow implant screw. Often, the abutment is inserted right away after the operation. Occasionally, the dental implants Brandon FL is covered with gum or has a healing cap installed, and the abutment is installed subsequently when we are prepared to restore the dental implant.

Implant Abutment

Our selection of dental implants Brandon FL abutments is extensive and determined by your final restoration and the implant system utilized. For example, the abutments for a single dental crown are different from those for a denture.

A stubby, tooth-like abutment supports the new implant crown and emerges over the gum. To help the denture clip onto the bar or fit into special fittings on its fitting surface, abutments can be used to support a bar.

Implant Restoration

A dental crown, bridge, or denture might be an implant restoration.

A dental implants Brandon FL crown will be used to restore an implant if you only need one. An implant bridge can be installed if you need several teeth repaired and they were initially next to one another, eliminating the need for a dental implant to replace each tooth.

Depending on your choices and financial situation, dental implant crowns and bridges may be made of metal-free materials or porcelain-over-precious-metal. Only an implant dentist may take these restorations out of the mouth for maintenance since they are permanently attached there.

Similar to a regular denture, a dental implants Brandon FL denture is constructed of acrylic, but it has unique attachments that allow it to clip onto a bar or implants. It needs to be removed frequently for cleaning.
