A Haddon Township dental implant crown is very much like other crowns. It is specially built to be placed on to a prepped tooth. There is only one thing we do differently. For us, when the implant receives the crown, we can leave your original tooth material alone. Unlike other procedures, where it is necessary to file it down. All we do is fasten an abutment. An abutment is like a trunk, which we use to link the crown and implant. By using the abutment, we don't have to spend time on filing your tooth. Haddon Township dentist Fotolia_7063199_XS.jpg

Putting in a Haddon Township dental implant really helps in protecting erosion from the jaw bone. There is a pretty simple reason for this. Eventually, the bone matter would die or waste away.

The addition of bridges and dentures is also not without risk to the bone. This is because, one of the first tasks is to substitute teeth that have been broken or are lost. For this to happen, we also seal the fate of the bone cells that you find around the root of the missing tooth.

With a Haddon Township dental implant, you won't have this problem. This is because the implant will imitate a real tooth. A cylindrical titanium root will be planted into the jaw bone. It takes several months for the bone matter to expand to cover the metal root and create a bond as convincing as that of a real root.

Don't worry if you're wearing bridges or dentures. It is okay if you have had dentures in your mouth for years and years. Or you are fitted with a bridge, you can still benefit from a dental implant. Even damaged jaw bone can be saved. What we do is buttress the area by making use of other bone material and giving it some time to heal. The bone material we put in comes from your own body. We take it either from your own jaw or your hips.

After a while, when your jaw is nice and strong, it is time to complete the attachment. We bring the curtain down on the procedure with your brand new dental crown. Your artificial implant is almost like a real tooth and will stay in your mouth for years and years. Best of all, it won't injure your jaw and it looks great as well.
