Frequently Asked Dental Questions – Upper Arlington, OH

What is a dental implant restoration?

A dental implant is a titanium post that is embedded into your jawbone. It’s the most secure way to create a new tooth or anchor a dental prosthesis. Once you have the dental implant, then Dr. Jayme Glamm will add the restoration—a porcelain crown, dental bridge, or denture - to the post.

How does a dental implant restoration benefit me?

Dental implant restorations can return health and stability to your jawbone, and actually reverse bone loss. Your jawbone needs tooth roots to nourish. Titanium is a biocompatible material that mimics tooth roots, and your bone will fuse around the posts. This not only keeps your jawbone strong but also ensures the health of your facial structure. We highly recommend dental implant restorations as a way to keep your dental health at optimum levels.

 

Are there other options for dental implant restorations?

We restore your dental implant with a porcelain crown. But dental implants can also be used to keep a crown, bridge, dentures, or partials in place.
