Have you been suffering from tooth loss for too long? Are you sick of having a difficult time eating and speaking? Dental implants in Lincoln can be the solution you\u2019re looking for. You want to make sure all your questions and concerns are answered<\/pwa> before you invest time and money into this restorative procedure. Before you schedule your consultation with your dentist, be sure you have all the basics down and are prepared. Read on to learn about common dental implant<\/a> terms you may hear from your dentist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Implant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dental implant is the titanium fixture that will replace the\nroot of your missing tooth and fuse with your jawbone for stability. They are\nsurgically placed in your gums and provide a durable and strong foundation for\nyour abutment and restoration to be placed on top of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abutment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once your gums have healed after your implant surgery, placing\nthe abutment is the next step. This is a connector piece that will go on top of\nyour titanium implant to hold your replacement tooth, crown, or bridge. After\nthis is placed, it typically takes 4 to 6 weeks for your gums to heal so your\nrestorations can be placed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osseointegration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Osseointegration is the natural process in which your\ntitanium implants fuse with your jawbone. This is what makes dental implants\nthe most stable and durable restorative procedure. This step of the process is one\nof the most important and allows your dental implant to function like your\nregular tooth\u2019s root would. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A crown is a great restorative option for someone who is getting\na single-tooth implant. It\u2019s a cap that\u2019s crafted to have a natural look and is\nscrewed or cemented onto the abutment to fill the space of the missing tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentures can be attached to implants for added stability and\nsupport in order to prevent slipping and shifting. After your gums heal from\nthe surgery, your dentist will make an impression of your tissue and the\nabutments and send it into a lab. This model is used to craft your custom\nnatural-looking denture framework and teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titanium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most modern dental implants are made from titanium, which can\noffer some great advantages. Very few people are allergic titanium, so you most\nlikely won\u2019t have to worry about having a reaction when they\u2019re placed. They\u2019re\nalso lightweight and strong, taking the weight off your jawbone. Additionally,\nthis material has a high oxygen affinity, allowing it to form a thin oxide layer,\npreventing corrosion for long-lasting results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants will not only improve your quality of life,\nbut the procedure also offers a laundry list of benefits that most restorative\noptions don\u2019t. They\u2019ve been around for over 40 years and have a 95% success\nrate. Scheduling a consultation with your dentist is the first step to getting\na healthy and complete smile, so don\u2019t hesitate! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
