Implant Dentistry

Description

Whether you've struggled with dentures or desire a better option than a traditional bridge to close a gap in your smile, Link Dental can upgrade your prosthodontic treatment using implant dentistry. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots anchored into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or set of false teeth. A custom, natural-looking dental prosthesis can be created in our dental lab.

WEBVTT 00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:08.700 There are a variety of ways to replace missing teeth. 00:00:08.725 --> 00:00:13.440 However, in this day and age, the most optimal way to accomplish that 00:00:13.465 --> 00:00:14.840 is through dental implants. 00:00:14.865 --> 00:00:17.980 A dental implant itself is like a surrogate tooth root. 00:00:18.005 --> 00:00:23.720 It's placed into the jawbone and in turn provides the foundation for a crown, upon 00:00:23.745 --> 00:00:25.935 which someone would then be able to function. 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.440 If the tooth is already missing and the gums and bone support are healed and ready 00:00:29.465 --> 00:00:33.200 to go, then it's just a matter of measuring and planning for the 00:00:33.225 --> 00:00:34.980 actual replacement of that tooth. 00:00:35.005 --> 00:00:39.580 Once it's healed, then we measure for an ideally sized crown, and then we go 00:00:39.605 --> 00:00:41.540 ahead and manufacture that in our lab. 00:00:41.565 --> 00:00:45.480 All told, it might be a one-hour procedure, perhaps an hour and a half. 00:00:45.505 --> 00:00:50.080 Someone has been struggling with a denture and the difficulties that come with 00:00:50.105 --> 00:00:55.740 wearing false teeth, and we've upgraded them to an implant supported set of teeth. 00:00:55.765 --> 00:00:57.200 It's life changing.
