What Does The Dental Implant Post Part Of A Dental Implant Do?

When people have one or more missing teeth, they can get those teeth replaced with dental implants in Encino, CA. Depending on the number of missing teeth they have, they can get treated with single dental implants, implant supported dentures, and full mouth dental implants. No matter what type of dental implant patients get treated with, however, each one has one or more dental implant posts.

The dental implant post is an important part of a dental implant’s structure. Curious to learn what a dental implant post does? Continue reading to learn about what exactly a dental implant post does.

What The Dental Implant Post Does In A Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant post is a crucial component of the overall structure of a dental implant in Encino, CA. A dental implant post is made to function like a natural tooth root and is securely anchored in the patient’s jawbone. Following its surgical placement into the jawbone, a process called osseointegration starts.

This is where the jawbone gradually fuses with the dental implant post over a period of several months, creating a sturdy base for the new prosthesis (tooth crown). Osseointegration is vital because it stabilizes the dental implant post in the patient’s jawbone, providing them with dental strength and durability that can last a lifetime with proper care. The fusion of the jawbone with the dental implant post also helps to preserve jawbone density.

When teeth are missing for a long period of time, the bone in the area can deteriorate over time since there are no tooth roots to stimulate bone maintenance. By mimicking the function of natural tooth roots, the dental implant post maintains jawbone stimulation, preventing the patient from losing jawbone density. It also maintains the structural integrity of the patient’s face.

Once fully integrated with the patient’s jawbone, the dental implant post serves as the attachment point for the abutment, which connects the dental implant post to the tooth crown. Tooth crowns are custom-made so that their color, shape, and size look natural in their smile.

Send in Xrays for Free Evaluation or Come in for $100 Full Mouth Series

If you have a Full Mouth Series of xrays from the past year, send them in for a FREE evaluation from Dr. O’Malley. If not then, just like the video at the top of each page states, you come in for $100 xrays and the evaluation is free. If you are currently in pain then call in and we can handle emergencies by using our network of referral doctors. We don’t want to rush into treatment until the game plan is 100% worked out and the diagnosis is complete. Planning is key and you need to understand what is happening with your body.

See if We Are the Right Fit

As you are rolling through the free course and waiting for your xrays to be evaluated, our office manager, my office manager, is always available to answer questions via email or calling in. Our cost is around $900 per tooth for smaller restorations or $3,200 per tooth for larger restorations. We can help you file with your insurance but we do not file on your behalf. We do not do 1-tooth-dentistry but can give you a recommendation to other dentists who do. Call us, we will help! Whatever you need, we will try to give you the solution!

Come in For a Comprehensive In-Person Evaluation

After we finish the $100 pre-examination (over the phone with xrays), then we book the full in-person evaluation with me for $195. We will get to know each other and also do a full 2-3 hour clinical examination. This step is NEVER rushed. You will have NO mysteries about your mouth and complex cases are VERY welcome. It’s time to end your dental disaster once and for all. Compatibility between us is key before getting involved with treatment! I will print you a full treatment plan with pricing and sequences based on which areas are in the worst condition. Average treatment plans range from $5,000-$90,000.
