Tooth Implant Procedure Jacksonville

Today, teeth that are missing or beyond repair can be fairly easily replaced with a dental implant. Dental implants replace the damaged root of a tooth and provide an anchor to place a crown, bridge or denture. The foundation your replacement is built upon.
Dental implants are titanium posts that work as a substitute for your natural tooth root. The titanium posts are placed in the bone under the gum where a tooth is missing. The bone will then heal around the post and a crown (or other replacement pieces) can then be placed on the post making this implant look like your natural tooth. Do you know someone who doesn't wear a denture or removable partial, because it slips or doesn't "chew" well? Dental implants work well in combination with a denture or removable partial to replace multiple missing teeth and provide a secure and confident outcome. No more missing dinner out with friends!

Implants also help retain bone that would otherwise be lost because of a phenomenon called bone resorption. When a root is missing the bone will basically melt away because there is no root to hold the bone in place. When an implant is placed, the bone adheres to the implant and will not deteriorate which allows the implant to act as a strong foundation for biting and chewing. Dental implants may also be used to secure bridges and dentures when more than one tooth is missing.

Dr. Schumacher had done extensive advanced training in placing and building upon dental implants. His patients have commented on how much easier it was to have their work done all in one office.
