How do dental implants work? Dental implants can work for patients in many different ways. We will start off by covering how a single dental implant works. The implant is placed into the jaw and allowed to heal. Once healed, the dentist will install typically, a crown over the implant. A crown acts as a tooth. The implant is then steady in the mouth and does not move. It is permanent or fixed. You can floss between your teeth and around the implant. You can brush it and you can chew as you normally do with your dental implant crown.

Another type of restoration that the doctor may choose for you is a dental implant bridge. In this case, two or more dental implants are placed to replace more than two teeth. A bridge is where many teeth are connected, all installed over the various implants. In this case, you would have to floss underneath the bridge using a floss threader or a Waterpik. You would not be able to pass the floss through each individual tooth. Many times, this is provided because there is not enough bone or it will create enough stability to support the teeth.

As always, I hope this blog has been helpful and was able to answer any questions regarding the purpose of dental implants. Until next time!
