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.

Patient Testimonials

WHAT OTHER PATIENTS, LIKE YOU, HAVE TO SAY

Ackley Dental Group has earned my complete trust. From the moment I walk through their doors, I feel welcomed, comfortable, and treated like family. Like many people, I used to feel anxious about going to the dentist. That changed with Dr. Katarina Scheuermann and her caring team. After I had missed several cleanings and checkups, their thorough examination discovered infections around my crowns that I didn’t even know were there because I wasn’t experiencing pain. They took the time to explain what they found, answer my questions, and develop a treatment plan. When adjustments were needed, they kept me informed and made sure I understood every step. I never felt confused or surprised. I truly believe they helped save my teeth. What makes Ackley Dental special is the people—from the doctors to every member of the staff. They listen, care, and work with you to find solutions. Trustworthy, thorough, and caring—that is how I would describe them. I wholeheartedly recommend Ackley Dental Group to my family, friends, and anyone who feels nervous about dental care. They earned my trust, helped save my teeth, and always make me feel at home. I walk in with confidence and walk out with an even bigger smile!

Dr. Amy and Julie were amazing today! Dr. Amy’s suggestion for me to get a bridge was exactly the right choice. Julie’s warm and funny personality put me immediately at ease. Had my tooth pulled and felt no pain! I couldn’t be any happier with Ackley dental. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! So happy I made the choice to have them as my dentists.
