Dental Implants in Wellesley, MA

Replacing Missing Teeth

Dental implants are made up of three components: the post, the connecting abutment, and the crown. The titanium post is directly placed into the jaw to replace the natural tooth’s root and support surrounding bone. The bio-compatible material fuses to the bone and improves its strength while preserving existing structural integrity. An abutment connects the prosthetic to the post to complete the restoration.

This procedure is versatile in its application, able to create the following restorations:

Single-unit crowns

Single-unit crowns replace a missing tooth at any point in the smile. A single post is implanted directly into the space left by the missing tooth to replace the tooth’s root. A crown caps the tooth to serve as the visible surface of the new tooth.

Multi-unit bridges

Multi-unit crowns replace a short row of teeth while preserving the structure of surrounding teeth and bone. While traditional bridges require altering adjacent healthy teeth to anchor the prosthetic in place, implant-supported bridges utilize anywhere from two to three implant posts placed directly into the bone.

Replacing Missing Teeth

Teeth missing from the smile cause several functional and aesthetic detriments. Dental implants provide a comprehensive replacement for entire rows of missing teeth, everything from root to crown.
