If you have had a tooth extracted, you might have been relieved when the pain went away. But now you’re thinking- what do I do about the gaping hole in my mouth? At Felton Dental Care in Missoula, Dr. Brett Felton can help restore your smile with implant dentistry.
Once the tooth has been pulled, you have many decisions to make. Is a dental bridge cost-effective? Do I want to damage two healthy teeth to anchor the bridge? Should I elect a partial denture? What about bone loss?
What if you could have a fresh start? What if you could have a permanent, natural looking tooth replacement that would restore your smile and retain the healthy bone and gum tissue around the tooth root? If you elect a dental implant, you can.
A dental implant is a permanent replacement for all parts of the tooth. It consists of three parts: the titanium post, the abutment, and the restoration.
The Titanium Post
—Inserted directly into the jaw bone
—Extremely strong
—Titanium is unique in that it bonds with living bone tissue (also used in knee and hip replacement surgery)
The Abutment
—Can be made of gold, porcelain or titanium
—Permanently attached to the post (it will not slip and slide like dentures)
The Restoration (Crown)
—Usually made of porcelain fused to a metal alloy (PFM)
—Is made to match the color of surrounding teeth
—Will look as good or better than the tooth it replaced
Dental implant surgery is not an experimental treatment. The materials and techniques have been tested and refined for several decades. Dr. Brett Felton at Felton Dental Care in Missoula specializes in cosmetic dentistry and implants. Call us today to restore your smile!
