Dental Implants in Spring Hill, FL

Sometimes when a tooth isn’t restorable, we are left with no alternative but to extract the tooth. An implant is used to replace the missing tooth without having to drill on the adjacent teeth.

Example A demonstrates the similarity between a natural tooth and an implant. The root of the tooth is fixed in the jaw bone and the top of the natural tooth has been prepared to receive a crown. Similarly, the implant is fixed within the jaw bone and replaces the root of the natural tooth. The post attached to the implant is similar to the top of the prepared tooth. It too, is ready to receive a crown.

The process of making a crown on a natural tooth and an implant is very similar. Impressions are required of the mouth and models are made, upon which the crowns are fabricated. Crowns on natural teeth or implants can be made of metal and/or porcelain, and are fabricated to replace the size, shape and color of the natural teeth. Example B demonstrates how the crowns fit over the prepared natural tooth and over the implant post in the same way. The crown on the natural tooth is cemented in-place. On the implant, it is either screwed or cemented in-place. An implant-supported crown is almost like having your natural tooth back!

Example C

The X-ray image, Example C shows the implant positioned in the jaw bone. A post will be attached to the implant, upon which the final crown will be placed to replace the missing tooth.

The final crown (cap) has been fabricated and cemented onto the post which is attached to the implant. A small, bonded restoration was also placed on the other front tooth to provide a balanced esthetic result. This implant-supported crown provides a beautiful aesthetic replacement for the missing tooth.

Crystal did an excellent job, as always, on cleaning my teeth. The entire office has a warm, friendly & professional vibe, I actually enjoy going to the dentist!
Chris Dover
I am a retired dental hygienist, new to the area and my experience with Ackley Dental was nothing but professional, delightful and very convenient. My hygienist was very thorough and carried herself with confidence. From the moment you walk in and are greeted by the front desk excellence to leaving thorough the cozy living room like waiting room, overall my experience was great and I’d highly recommend this practice to anyone and all in the area.

They were very nice and did the best with all my medical problems. Unfortunately I need to go to coastal jaw surgery for my problems. I would recommend them for dental problems for any one else. Donna F.

Every one was so pleasant and helpful. Dr Tony was excellent in his work. The doctor doesn’t push work on your teeth that can wait for another day. They do one thing at a time and do it well. Staff is kind and try to work out payment plans if needed. I am 83 years old and been to many dentists. So I know a good one when I see him. Thank you all . You are all terrific.

I am 72 years old (young) and can't remember a better hygienist than Cristal. Thorough yet gentle! Dr. Amy recently capped my two front teeth with great results. Been a patient for years and would not consider going elsewhere.
