Your Friendly Alkimos Dental Practice
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small fixed titanium screw that is surgically inserted into the site of a missing tooth.
The implant is then left to fuse with the jawbone – creating a solid foundation for your new tooth. Once this is completed, a crown or bridge is secured to your implant, and with good care it will last for many years!

Replacing a Single missing tooth
What are the advantages of a single-tooth implant over a bridge?
A dental implant provides many advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of adjacent teeth.
Because a dental implant will replace your tooth root, the bone is better preserved. Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact.
How will the implant be placed?
First, the implant, which looks like a screw or cylinder, is placed into your jaw. Over the next 3 months, the implant and the bone are allowed to bond together to form an anchor for your artificial tooth. During this time, a temporary tooth replacement option can be worn over the implant site.
Finally, a replacement tooth called a crown will be created for you by your dentist and attached to the abutment. After a short time, you will experience restored confidence in your smile and your ability to chew and speak. Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth.
