Dental Implants for Missing Teeth

A dental implant is a replacement option for your missing tooth. The implants can replace both the tooth’s crown and root with metal screw-like posts, mimicking the root and supporting the artificial crown. Restore your smile with dental implants from your Russellville, AR, dentist, Dr. Richard Morgan of Ashcraft Morgan Dental.

Why is the dental implant procedure performed?

Dental implants are placed in your jawbone to replace a missing tooth as an alternative to dentures or other tooth replacements. To be a good candidate for the treatment, you must have enough jawbone density and a healthy oral cavity. Dental implants from your Russellville, AR, dentist will improve your speech and chewing function.

How is it performed?

Before starting the procedure, your dentist will evaluate your dental health and take x-rays. This is done to make sure that your teeth aren’t decayed and your jawbone is strong enough to tolerate the posts and support them. After that, your dentist will implant the screw-like titanium posts to fuse with your jawbone, forming a stable artificial tooth root. After the healing process, which may take more than a month, your dentist will cement the dental crown.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

  • The implants look just like your natural teeth so no one will notice you are using an artificial crown
  • The material that is used to produce the dental implant is strong and can’t decay, which makes the implant durable
  • You can eat whatever you want without the fear of damaging the implant
  • They don’t require extra dental care. Your daily hygiene practices are enough to keep the implants healthy
