\"DentistDental implant<\/a> supported tooth replacement plans are some of the most complex dentistry treatments available. Before you get started with your dental implant restoration plan, you should take the time to learn more about these advanced procedures. In this post, we\u2019ll walk you through the various aspects of your dental implant plan and help you learn what to expect during treatment. There are three main parts of a dental implant restoration \u2013 the post, abutment, and replacement tooth. By understanding each part of the implant post and how they work, you\u2019ll be better prepared for your dental restoration plan.
\n<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 The Dental Implant Post<\/h2>\n

Dental implant posts are used to replace the lost roots of missing teeth. These posts can be crafted from a variety of materials, including titanium and zirconia. The implant posts are surgically positioned below the gums. We start by making a small incision in the soft tissue. Then, the implant is inserted below the gum line. Once in place, the implant post fuses with the gums and supportive bone tissue, mimicking the tooth\u2019s root.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 Abutment Posts<\/h2>\n

The abutment posts are the part of the restoration that attach the implant post to the replacement tooth. When we place the implant post, a protective cap is positioned over the top. This allows the implant site to heal while retaining the shape necessary to allow us to connect the abutment post. Once the soft tissue has healed, the protective cap is removed, and the abutment is attached.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 Replacement Teeth<\/h2>\n

Once the abutment post is in place, we\u2019ll capture impressions and design your replacement tooth or teeth. We then send our design to the dental lab where your custom restoration is crafted. Once we receive the final restoration, it is permanently fixed to your abutment posts, recreating healthy tooth structures.<\/p>\n

Preparatory Treatments<\/h2>\n

Prior to starting the implant supported tooth replacement process, you may need to receive a number of preparatory treatments, including the extraction of damaged or unhealthy teeth and bone or soft tissue grafts. These treatments are performed to improve your chances for successful dental implant placement.<\/p>\n
