Lasting Tooth Replacement with Dental Implants / Implant Dentistry – Tuscaloosa Area
If you are missing one or more teeth, or if you have a dental crown, dental bridge, or denture that slips or slides, dental implants may be an excellent option. Implants act as the roots of missing teeth, anchoring artificial teeth directly to the jawbone for a completely natural look and feel. Fikes & Wagner Family provides exceptional implant dentistry – dental implants restorations – for patients in Tuscaloosa, Northport, Carrolton, Eutaw, Greensboro, and surrounding areas.What Are Dental Implants?

What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is composed of a tiny titanium post, a metal ball on top of the post, and a rubber O-ring. The post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it replaces the root of the missing tooth. The ball rests on the gums, where it anchors the artificial tooth in place. The O-ring acts as a cushion between the gums and the jawbone. The entire apparatus provides unparalleled stability compared with traditional, tooth-supported restorations.Benefits of Dental Implants
Among the many benefits of dental implants are that they:- Provide tooth restorations that look and feel indistinguishable from natural teeth
- Are crafted of titanium, a biocompatible metal
- Can last for many years with proper maintenance
- Do not cause wear and tear on the surrounding teeth and gums
- Can replace one tooth, several teeth, or all the teeth in the mouth
- Are usually compatible with other cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments
