What are dental implants?

Crown

The crown, or tooth, is located at the top of your implant and functions like your natural tooth or teeth.

Implant

The implant, or tooth root, is placed beneath the surface of your gums in your jaw bone for a secure fit.

Abutment

The abutment keeps the crown in place on top of your implant, so your new teeth look as natural as your original ones—if not better.

Dental Implants Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental implants made of?

Dental implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for people suffering from missing teeth, failing teeth or chronic dental problems. They are artificial tooth roots placed into your jawbone to support replacement teeth and to restore the look and function of your smile.

When dental implants are placed in your jawbone, they bond with your natural bone, which is why they’re the strongest restoration option, second only to natural teeth. They become a sturdy base for supporting one or more artificial teeth, and can last 25 years or more.

They’re comprised of 3 pieces:

Implant: The implant itself is a titanium screw that acts as a root for your new teeth. This is what permanently attaches to your jaw.​

Abutment: This is a permanent but removable component that supports and holds a tooth or set of teeth in place atop an implant.​

Crown: This is the part of the tooth that you can see. It’s usually made of zirconium or porcelain for durability and good looks.

Who is not a good candidate for dental implants?

Not everyone is an ideal candidate for dental implants. For individuals who experience or do any of the following, dental implants may not be for you due to challenges you could face with healing, jaw bone density and more.

  • Uncontrolled chronic diseases like diabetes or autoimmune disorders
  • Heavy smokers, or those who consume excessive alcohol
  • Insufficient bone density in your jaw can also make it difficult for implants to properly integrate
  • Individuals undergoing radiation therapy
  • Individuals taking certain medications that affect bone health

No matter what you’re experiencing, a thorough evaluation by a dental professional is crucial to determine if you have the necessary oral health, overall health and bone structure to support successful implant placement. Make sure to consult your local Celebrate Dental & Braces implant expert for a prognosis and treatment plan that best fits your needs.

Why Our Patients Love Us

Hands down the absolute best dentistry in town!!! You can tell that they love what they do here.The energy is positive and bright. Dr.Lee & Michelle actually listened to me and made my whole experience beyond comfortable. I felt like they really wanted to help me. They care.They know how to communicate. Celebrate accepts all kinds of insurance. This place is a blessing.
They don’t make you wait 3 months to be seen either!
I had to add that my teeth look and feel amazing today. Dr.Lee went above and beyond!!!

Dr. M and Courtney were so great! My daughter is 14 months and this was her first visit. She’s also been teething so I was nervous of how the visit would go but it was super quick and went really well! I’m so happy our daughter has such a good dentist! They were so reassuring about all our concerns.

Dr Lee, Michelle, and the rest of the staff here took such good care of me. I had some major anxiety issues and they were so kind and patient with me. Highly recommend. 🙏🏻

My daughter is 11 years old with high anxiety. She needed her baby K9 pulled and her adult k9 brought down in its place. We had been using another local dentist but they could not handle her needs so I scheduled an appointment without knowing anything about it. They were very knowledgeable and had great customer service. They got her in right away and when we arrived the office was very spacious and clean. Everyone was super nice and by the end of her appointment my daughter said she didn’t even want to leave! Dr. M was very professional and he was vert gentle with my daughter. He took time to explain everything to her before he did anything. Dr. M took his time to ask personal questions about us, he made us feel like family and his staff is superb. We were referred to Dr. Lee for further evaluation but he too was very professional, knowledgeable and kind to my daughter. I could not believe, I have not heard of this clinic before now. I have now switched my family of 4, to have our cleanings and all dental work done here. I would highly suggest Celebrate Dental to anyone!!

Such a great environment! Dr. M, Courtney, and all the others that helped us were such wonderful people! They were very calm and understanding. Listened to all of my daughter’s concerns. The best part was that they accepted our insurance! Finding a good dentist who takes Medicaid is so hard and I’m so glad we found them!

One of the only dentists in Springfield that take adult Medicaid! I’ve always felt so incredibly welcomed by each and every staff member I’ve spoken too! They have been amazing at scheduling appointments and are even open on snow days!
