Your gateway to a radiant smile
A dental implant is replacement tooth root, as firm as a healthy natural root, or even better. It is made from an alloy of a very strong and well-known metal titanium alloy which possesses some very useful and special properties. The implant is screwed into your jaw bone directly, where the jaw bone naturally and willingly grows into the surface of the implant. You will read more about it in a subsequent paragraph. On top of this metallic screw is an abutment on which is placed a very natural looking artificial tooth. Perhaps, the best thing about dental implants is that multiple artificial teeth can be supported on a single implant.

FAQs
At Smart Smile Dentistry, we offer various options for replacing multiple teeth, tailored to your specific needs:
- Fixed Partial Bridges: Ideal for replacing two or more adjacent teeth, these bridges are supported by implants for stability.
- Fixed Complete Bridges: For full jaw restoration, we offer complete bridges supported by 4, 6, or 8 implants, providing unparalleled support and retention.
- Implant-Supported Removable Overdentures: Enjoy the convenience of removable dentures anchored by implants, equipped with precision attachments to prevent movement during speech or eating.
- Assessment and Planning: After determining you’re a good candidate, our dentist will create a detailed treatment plan using radiography and computer software to ensure optimal implant placement.
- Implant Placement: Using local anesthesia, the dentist places small titanium cylinders (implants) into the jawbone. These implants serve as the foundation for your new teeth.
- Osseointegration: After the implants are placed, a crucial phase called osseointegration begins, where the jawbone heals around the implants, securing them firmly. This process can take six weeks or more.
- Prosthesis Attachment: Once osseointegration is complete, prosthetic teeth are attached to the implants. An implant bridge is used for adjacent missing teeth, providing a permanent solution. Alternatively, partial dentures can be used, which may be anchored to the implants with special bars or attachments and can be removable.
