How Do Dental Implants Work?

If you haven’t had dental implants or are unfamiliar with them, you may be wondering what they are and how they work. Dental implants act as tooth roots. When you lose a tooth, you may focus more on the tooth rather than the roots. However, the roots are important too.

Dental implants work to replace the lost roots and provide a strong foundation for your replacement teeth. Having a sturdy base is important in keeping your replacement teeth looking and feeling great.

A dental implant is shaped somewhat like a screw. When you get dental implants, they are surgically placed in your jaw. Over time, they will fuse with the jawbone, creating that strong base needed to attach replacement teeth.

Once the implants have fully healed and bonded with the jaw bone, we can place replacement teeth. This will then complete your smile, giving you more confidence and functionality. We will help you find a tooth replacement option that looks and feels natural.

Who Should Get Dental Implants?

If you have lost one or more of your teeth, you may be a good candidate for dental implants. We recommend scheduling a consultation so our dentist at Lapeer City Dental can help you decide whether this is the right option for your needs.
