Dental Implants
Dental implants are an effective and natural solution to missing teeth. They also look, feel, and function like your own teeth!
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental Implants provide a multitude of benefits, including:
- Dental implants mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
- Implants help prevent bone loss and maintain the integrity of your jawbone, preserving facial structure.
- Unlike dentures, implants provide a stable foundation, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort or restriction.
- Caring for dental implants is as simple as maintaining natural teeth—regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are all needed.
- Filling gaps with implants prevents nearby teeth from shifting out of alignment, which can cause bite issues or further oral health problems.
- While the initial cost may be higher, dental implants' longevity and minimal maintenance make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Dental Implant Process
Dental implants are small titanium posts carefully placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. These posts serve as secure anchors for artificial teeth, ensuring a natural look and feel. Through osseointegration, the titanium bonds seamlessly with the bone, creating a durable and stable foundation for the implant.
After the initial placement, the gums are given several weeks to heal. Once healed, the next step involves creating and attaching custom-made crowns or prosthetics to the implant post. This process may require minor oral surgery to fit the anchor securely into the jawbone. Typically, the bone takes up to six months to fully integrate with the implant.
In most cases, modern dental implants can be placed in a single surgery, as the anchor and post are attached simultaneously. However, some situations may require a second procedure, depending on individual needs and the case's complexity.
