Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a modern way to replace missing or damaged teeth. They consist of a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone, acting as a new root for a replacement tooth or teeth. Implants look and function like natural teeth, offering a lasting and comfortable solution.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Long-Lasting: Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural Look: They blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
- Better Function: Implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Protect Bone Health: Implants help prevent bone loss in your jaw.
- No Impact on Nearby Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants don't require altering healthy adjacent teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
Consultation: We’ll evaluate your oral health and create a plan based on your needs.
Implant Placement: A titanium post is placed into your jawbone. This is done under local anesthesia to ensure you're comfortable.
Healing: The implant fuses with your bone over a few months, creating a strong foundation.
Restoration: Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant to complete the look and function.
Follow-Up Care: We’ll monitor your healing and ensure your implant is functioning well.
Who Can Get Dental Implants?
Most people with missing teeth can benefit from implants, but good candidates should:
- Have enough healthy jawbone to support the implant.
- Be in good overall health.
- Have healthy gums. If you don't have enough bone, we may recommend a bone graft before implant placement.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Confidence: Implants restore your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
Healthier Mouth: Implants help prevent problems caused by missing teeth.
Convenience: Unlike dentures, implants stay in place and don’t require special
care.
Are There Any Risks?
Like any surgery, dental implants come with small risks, such as infection or implant failure, but these are rare when performed by an experienced team.
Cost of Dental Implants
While dental implants may cost more upfront than other options like dentures, they can last much longer, making them a good investment in the long run.
