Dental implants offer an effective long-term solution for tooth restoration. Not only are teeth implants used to replace the root of a missing tooth, but this implant post acts as a strong foundation to support a crown or bridge for the full restoration.
Additionally, implants protect the remaining teeth and gums by preventing bone loss and maintaining the overall facial structure. When a patient is missing teeth, dental implants can be used to restore function and appearance at the same time.
With over 700 implant cases to his credit, Dr. Gall is able to provide skilled, predictable implant dentistry in Griffith, IN. For more information, or to schedule your implant consultation, call our office today.
When a tooth implant is placed in the jawbone, it has a similar shape to a screw. The placement of this post provides a solid foundation as the post bonds with the natural compounds in the bone. As the post gains a solid foundation, it becomes a strong base to be used as a foundation for artificial teeth.
It’s important to note that tooth implants are one step in the full treatment plan. When the implant is finished, then a custom-made crown or bridge is placed on top for the full restoration. Dental implants can be used as a restoration for a single tooth, or multiple teeth if needed.
Teeth implants require a multi-step treatment approach, starting with the preparation of the implant site to replace missing teeth. If the damaged tooth is still present, then extraction is required to open up space. Next, the post is carefully positioned in the opening. Depending on the condition of the jawbone, it might also be necessary to combine this treatment with other procedures, such as a bone graft.
Since it takes time for the growth of new bone around the implant post, this treatment can take months from start to finish. Our implant dentist Christopher Gall DDS will provide a detailed timeline based on your unique circumstances for tooth replacement. When the healing has occurred, then the procedure is completed with the placement of an abutment and artificial tooth placement on top of the implant.
When you invest in a dental implant, this restoration is more than just replacing a missing tooth. Not only do you fill in the gap, but a dental tooth implant restores your smile, bite, chewing function, and your confidence.

How do you know if you are a good candidate for a single tooth implant or full dental implants? Reach out to our nearby office for more information. We will schedule a consultation and exam at our dental clinic close to you, helping you determine the ideal restoration for your permanent tooth replacement.
If you are missing one or more teeth, then you are likely a good candidate for dental implants. Schedule a consultation for a full exam. During this appointment, we will discuss your health history and check the density of the bone to determine whether there is a strong enough foundation to hold the implant in place.
With proper dental care, a good implant can last a lifetime. These dental prosthetics are not susceptible to tooth decay, but you must maintain the health of surrounding gums to ensure the long-term success of this treatment. The tooth and gums should be brushed and flossed, just like a natural tooth. We also recommend regular checkups so our team can monitor the condition of the implant.
The outcome of this treatment depends on the health of each patient. When someone is in good health and they are proactive with consistent oral hygiene habits at home, the success of dental implants can be as high as 90 – 95%.
This dental procedure has been used for more than half a century, with a long history of positive outcomes. As with any medical procedure, there is always a risk of complications. The best way to avoid potential complications is by choosing an experienced implant dentist to complete the procedure.
