Beachwood Family Dental is pleased to offer dental implants to our patients. Dental implants are an excellent solution to missing teeth. They can be used to replace one or more teeth, and are stable and long-lasting.

Dental implants comprise of three parts: the implant post, the abutment, and the implant restoration. The implant post is best described as an artificial “root” of a replacement tooth. Made out of titanium, it is fused to the jawbone to provide proper structure and support for the restoration. The “abutment” is a connector that goes between the implant and the restoration, helping us attach a restoration into the implant. The implant restoration is the “crown,” or top, of the tooth, and mimics a real tooth. The restoration itself is custom made to match your smile and can be used with the same utility as a normal tooth.

Dental implants will require multiple dental appointments to our office. Our dentist will discuss your treatment plan with you as you progress through the stages of the implant process to monitor your oral health throughout. We invite you to ask questions before, during and after treatments so you can stay informed about your care.

If you would like more details about dental implants, give our office a call and schedule a consultation with our team. We look forward to your visit!
