If you have missing teeth but would rather not opt for full or partial dentures, we recommend speaking to your dentist about dental implants. At Park Ridge Dental, we can assist in cosmetic dental implants for different ages so that your teeth can become fully functional in no time. Book an appointment  with us to determine whether you are a candidate for dental implants.  

What are Dental Implants?  

Why are dental implants better than dentures? Cosmetic dental implants are the most effective way to replace a tooth because they are artificial teeth that attach directly to the jawbone. A dental implant has three main components.  

Fixture  

This is a small screw that is attached to the jawbone. Over time, the fixture fuses with the jawbone, creating a strong foundation on which the other parts of the implant can be attached. The fixture is usually made using titanium which is a non-corrosive metal.  

Abutment 

The fixture is the part of the implant that acts as a stabiliser below the gumline. Once it has fused with the jawbone, the abutment, which is another screw-like attachment, is installed directly above the gumline to support the tooth.  

Tooth Crown 

The crown is a prosthetic that looks and works just like a natural tooth. Implant crowns are made using porcelain or ceramic and are screwed into place when the abutment and fixture are in place.
