Dental Implant & Oral Surgery in Oak Ridge, TN

A tooth implant is actually comparable to an artificial root. If your own tooth root is no longer satisfactory, then an artificial replacement can be used. This is a screw that is placed in your jaw. On top of that often comes a crown, bridge or overdenture. Implants can be placed in both the upper jaw and lower jaw.

The jawbone and gums must both be healthy before the treatment can begin. If this is not the case, we can of course also take care of that. The dentist or dental surgeon will complete the treatment.

Implants can be compared with screws that are hollow inside. Sometimes they have a ceramic layer. When an implant is placed, they must first grow or grow with the bone. It is not possible to put any force on it before. Implants are made of titanium: this substance is well tolerated by the jaw bone. Titanium is a metal that is not rejected by the human body. A crown can be placed on an implant. It is also possible to attach a dental prosthesis or bridge to it. You are locally anesthetized prior to putting a tooth implant.

When an implant is inserted, it takes another three to six months before it is sufficiently attached to the bone. At that time, the implants must have time to attach themselves properly and you should not eat hard things.
