What is a Dental Implant?
2
Many people are surprised at the impact that
losing a single tooth has on their oral health
and appearance. When a tooth is missing, the
remaining teeth slowly move towards the open
spot. This can cause problems with alignment of
all the teeth.

A single missing tooth can also make chewing and
clear speech difficult. You may feel reluctant to
smile, especially when the missing tooth is in
the front of your mouth. A dental implant from
Dr. Ala Din eliminates all of these problems.

The Dental Implant ProcedurePatients sometimes
feel confused about the different types of tooth
replacement available and need to clarify before
making a decision about treatment. They
frequently ask Dr. Din What is a dental implant?

This procedure differs from a dental bridge
because you receive an artificial tooth root as
well as a replacement tooth. The new root holds
the tooth in place rather than depending on
nearby teeth to support a dental bridge.

After inspecting your mouth and ensuring that the
gums and jawbone are strong enough, Dr. Din
places a small titanium rod to create the new
toothIt takes approximately three to six months
for the area to heal after Dr. Din places the
artificial tooth root. As the bone heals, it
grows around the new root and accepts it as
natural.

You will need to come in for regular appointments
during this time so Dr. Din can check the
progression of your healing. Before attaching
your permanent replacement tooth, he consults
with our dental lab to make sure the color and
shape match your other teeth.
