There have been many remarkable advances in dentistry, but dental implants have changed the lives of millions of people dealing with tooth loss. If you've heard about implants and wonder why they're highly regarded, All Dental Tampa Palms would love to show you how they can transform your smile and confidence.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
When patients in Tampa lose a tooth, they have several replacement options to consider. While dentures and bridges are common choices, these solutions only replace the visible portion of your tooth and not the root. A dental implant offers complete tooth replacement comprised of three pieces:
- A titanium implant post that serves as an artificial tooth root
- A connector piece called an abutment
- A custom-designed restoration (usually a crown) that shows when you smile
Our dentists can replace a single tooth with an implant-supported crown, multiple missing teeth with an implant bridge, or an entire upper or lower arch of missing teeth using implant dentures or our all-on-x solution.
