Continue reading to get the full details from a local dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1 \u2013 Dental Implant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most obvious term to start with, a dental implant is a cylinder-shaped post. Made from durable and biocompatible titanium, it attaches to the jawbone to mimic the function of the missing tooth root. Over a series of weeks-to-months, the implant fuses with the existing bone to form a highly supportive and lasting foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 \u2013 Abutment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Also constructed from titanium, the abutment securely connects the final restoration to the implant. That means you won\u2019t have to worry about any painful slipping and gum irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 \u2013 Restoration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The term \u2018restoration\u2019 refers to an implant-supported crown, bridge or denture. Typically, restorations are made from high-grade porcelain, which is known for its aesthetics, durability and strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 \u2013 Implant-Retained Crown<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The crown of the tooth is the portion that is visible above the gum line. A unique feature of an implant-retained crown is that it does not rely on dental cement or being bonded to the surrounding teeth to secure its position. Instead, it is permanently fastened in place by attaching to the underlying abutment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 \u2013 Implant-Retained Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a traditional bridge, the implant version consists of two to four prosthetic teeth that are attached to a single appliance. However, the implant-retained bridge differs from the traditional version in that it does not rely on being cemented to the surrounding teeth. Instead, it is screwed into the abutments to attach it to the implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#6 \u2013 Implant-Retained Denture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes a combination of suction inside the mouth and dental adhesive to secure a traditional set of dentures. With the implant-retained option, this is not necessary. Instead, each set of dentures will be equipped with special snaps or a bar that is placed on the underside that will attach to the abutments and implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have been brought up-to-speed on the dental implant terms you should know, the next step is to reach out to a local dentist to schedule your first visit. By taking this small step, you will be opening the door to a brand-new and happier future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Aras Mortazavi earned his dental degree from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry.
