Implant Dentistry at Yorktown Family Denal in Elkins Park

Dental implants replace missing teeth therefore restoring smiles to look naturally beautiful, feel comfortable and increase confidence.  A dental implant is a small titanium screw or cylinder which is surgically placed into the lower or upper jawbones.  The implant replaces the root of the missing tooth which provides an anchor for a crown, bridge or denture.

First, the doctor will determine if, you are a good candidate for dental implants. She will examine things like your jawbone ridges by looking at x-rays, the health of your oral tissues and your medical history.  When the implant device is placed into the jaw, a chemical  and mechanical bond is formed. The jawbone actually grows into the implant. After the jawbone has attached itself to the implant; the crown(s), bridge or over denture can be designed and fitted to the implant to ensure a natural look and feel while restoring, chewing, speech and function.
