They are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile. In fact, the development and use of implants is one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years. Dental implants are made up of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body. They are posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3448\" src=\"http:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Anatomy_Implant.jpg\" alt=\"Anatomy_Implant\" width=\"180\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Anatomy_Implant.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Anatomy_Implant-176x300.jpg 176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3449\" src=\"http:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Anatomy_Root.jpg\" alt=\"Anatomy_Root\" width=\"180\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Anatomy_Root.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Anatomy_Root-176x300.jpg 176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Most patients find that a dental implant is secure, stable and a good replacement for their own tooth. There are generally three phases to getting an implant:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>First, the oral surgeon surgically places the implant into the jawbone. They may recommend a diet of soft foods, cold foods and warm soup during the healing process.<\/li>\n<li>Next, the bone around the implant heals in a process called osseointegration. What makes an implant so strong is that the bone actually grows around it and holds it in place. Osseointegration means \u201ccombines with the bone\u201d and takes time. Some patients might need to wait until the implant is completely integrated, up to several months, before replacement teeth can be attached to the implant. Other patients can have the implants and replacement teeth placed all in one visit.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, it\u2019s time for the placement of the artificial tooth\/teeth. For a single tooth implant, your dentist will customize a new tooth for you, called a dental crown. The crown will be based on size, shape, color and fit, and will be designed to blend in with your other teeth. If you are replacing more than a single tooth, custom-made bridges or dentures will be made to fit your mouth and your implants. (Note: The replacement teeth usually take some time to make. In the meantime, your dentist may give you a temporary crown, bridge or denture to help you eat and speak normally until the permanent replacement is ready.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are interested in dental implants, it&#8217;s a good idea to discuss it carefully with your dentist first. If you are in good general health this treatment may be an option for you. In fact, your health is more of a factor than your age. You may be medically evaluated by a physician before any implant surgery is scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>Chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or leukemia, may interfere with healing after surgery. Patients with these issues may not be good candidates for implants. Using tobacco can also slow healing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_full-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_full-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c av_one_full  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3431\" src=\"http:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ADA_seal.jpg\" alt=\"Print\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ADA_seal.jpg 120w, https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ADA_seal-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ADA_seal-36x36.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/>Patient education content \u00a92017 American Dental Association.
