Dental Implant Resources For You
Smile for years to come with the clinically-recommended solution for missing teeth: dental implants. As fixed additions to your mouth, they naturally fit into your smile and function like your own teeth.
Crown
The crown, or tooth, is located at the top of your implant and functions like your natural tooth or teeth.
Implant
The implant, or tooth root, is placed beneath the surface of your gums in your jaw bone for a secure fit.
Abutment
The abutment keeps the crown in place on top of your implant, so your new teeth look as natural as your original ones—if not better.

Dental Implants Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants made of?
Dental implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for people suffering from missing teeth, failing teeth or chronic dental problems. They are artificial tooth roots placed into your jawbone to support replacement teeth and to restore the look and function of your smile.
When dental implants are placed in your jawbone, they bond with your natural bone, which is why they’re the strongest restoration option, second only to natural teeth. They become a sturdy base for supporting one or more artificial teeth, and can last 25 years or more.
They’re comprised of 3 pieces:
Implant: The implant itself is a titanium screw that acts as a root for your new teeth. This is what permanently attaches to your jaw.
Abutment: This is a permanent but removable component that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth in place atop an implant.
Crown: This is the part of the tooth that you can see. It’s usually made of zirconium or porcelain for durability and good looks.
Who is not a good candidate for dental implants?
Not everyone is an ideal candidate for dental implants. For individuals who experience or do any of the following, dental implants may not be for you due to challenges you could face with healing, jaw bone density and more.
- Uncontrolled chronic diseases like diabetes or autoimmune disorders
- Heavy smokers, or those who consume excessive alcohol
- Insufficient bone density in your jaw can also make it difficult for implants to properly integrate
- Individuals undergoing radiation therapy
- Individuals taking certain medications that affect bone health
No matter what you’re experiencing, a thorough evaluation by a dental professional is crucial to determine if you have the necessary oral health, overall health and bone structure to support successful implant placement. Make sure to consult your local Dental Cornerimplant expert for a prognosis and treatment plan that best fits your needs.
