Dental implants
The team at Atlantic Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Centre have years of experience restoring smiles with dental implants at our office in St. John’s, NL. Dental implants are one of the most popular tooth replacement options available today because they look and function like permanent teeth. No other tooth replacement option prevents bone loss and preserves your smile as well as dental implants.
A dental implant is made up of three parts: the implant itself, which replaces your natural tooth’s root, the abutment, which connects the implant to your new replacement tooth (or teeth), and the crown, which is custom designed by your dentist to look like your natural teeth. The dental implant posts are made of medical-grade titanium, a completely biocompatible material that fuses with your jaw bone. This strong bond between the posts and the surrounding bone creates a secure foundation for a single tooth crown, a multi-tooth bridge, or in some cases, even a full fixed denture.
