Losing a tooth can impact not only your smile but also your ability to chew, speak, and maintain overall oral health. Fortunately, dental implants provide a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth. At Silk City Dental, Dr. Tushin Shah and our skilled team specialize in restoring smiles with high-quality dental implants and custom implant crowns, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone, creating a strong foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or even full-arch dentures. Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, implants mimic the structure of a natural tooth, offering unmatched durability and stability.

At Silk City Dental, we use advanced technology and precise techniques to ensure a comfortable and successful implant procedure tailored to each patient’s needs.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an ideal solution for individuals who:

• Have lost one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease
• Want a permanent alternative to removable dentures or bridges
• Desire a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with their smile
• Seek to prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure
• Want to restore full function for chewing and speaking with confidence

The Dental Implant Process

The journey to a restored smile with dental implants involves several stages:

1. Consultation and Assessment – During your visit to Silk City Dental, we conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays and digital scans, to determine if implants are the right choice for you.
2. Implant Placement – The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the bone fuses with the implant through a process called osseointegration, ensuring stability.
3. Abutment Placement – Once healing is complete, an abutment (a small connector) is attached to the implant to support the final restoration.
4. Custom Crown Placement – The final step is securing a dental implant crown, which is designed to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, completing your smile.

The Role of Implant Crowns in the Restoration

The implant crown is the visible part of the restoration, carefully crafted to look and function like a real tooth. At Silk City Dental, we use high-quality porcelain or ceramic materials to ensure durability and a natural aesthetic. Dr. Tushin Shah works closely with each patient to create a custom crown that blends seamlessly with their existing teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Long-Term Durability – Implants can last a lifetime with proper care, while implant crowns are designed for longevity.
• Natural Look and Feel – Each crown is custom-made to blend perfectly with your surrounding teeth.
• Restores Full Functionality – Eat, speak, and smile with confidence, just as you would with natural teeth.
• Prevents Bone Loss – The implant stimulates the jawbone, preventing deterioration that often occurs after tooth loss.
• No Impact on Adjacent Teeth – Unlike bridges, implants do not require the alteration of neighboring teeth for support.
