Trusted Implant Dentist in Lititz, PA

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. Once in place, our lititz implant dentist will mount replacement teeth onto them.

How Do They Replace Missing Teeth?

After the implant is placed, the bone around the implant heals in a process called osseointegration, meaning it integrates with the bone. This provides a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all of the teeth.

Fixed vs. Removable Solutions

There are two main types of implant solutions: fixed and removable.

Fixed Solutions:

These are non-removable and feel like natural teeth. They include individual implants, implant-supported bridges, and All-On-X methods.

Removable Solutions:

These are similar to traditional removable dentures but are supported by implants. They can be taken out for cleaning.
