What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into your jawbone, designed to appear and function like natural teeth. They are composed of three parts: the post, which is a titanium screw placed into the jawbone to act as the root of the new tooth; the abutment, a connector that sits on top of the post to hold the restoration in place; and the restoration, which is the visible part of the implant, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. There are several reasons you may need a dental implant, including:
- Improving Chewing and Speaking Ability: Missing teeth can affect your ability to speak and chew properly. Our implants help restore these important functions.
- Preventing Bone Loss: When teeth are lost, the jawbone can deteriorate. Implants stimulate your bone, helping to preserve its structure and prevent further loss.
- Boosting Confidence: Missing or damaged teeth can impact your smile and self-esteem. Our implants restore a natural-looking smile, improving both appearance and confidence.
Our Dental Implant Options
Our dentist offers a variety of dental implant options to help restore your smile and improve your oral health. Whether you're missing a single tooth or need a full arch of teeth replaced, we have solutions tailored to your unique needs. Our teeth replacement options include:
- Crowns: If you're missing a single tooth, a crown placed on an implant post will restore your tooth's appearance and function.
- Bridges: A dental bridge can replace multiple missing teeth by using implants on either side to support the bridge, helping to restore your smile and bite.
- Dentures: Implant-supported dentures provide a secure solution if you are missing entire arches of teeth, improving stability and comfort.
- All-on-4: An innovative solution, our All-on-4 technique uses four implants to support a full arch of teeth. Due to only four implants being used, this method significantly enhances healing time. Our dentist will determine if this treatment is right for you.
- All-on-X: Similar to All-on-4, the All-on-X technique uses more than four implants to securely hold a full arch of replacement teeth, offering added stability and support based on your needs.
Our Dental Implant Pretreatments
Before placing a dental implant, your mouth and jawbone must be in good condition to support the implant. If our dentist finds that your smile is not healthy enough, pretreatments like extractions and bone grafts may be recommended. Our extractions are done with precision and care to remove damaged or decayed teeth, allowing the area to heal properly and making room for your implant.
A bone graft may be necessary if you have insufficient bone in your jaw to support the implant. During this procedure, we add bone material to the affected area, which helps stimulate bone growth and restores the necessary structure for your implant.
Teeth Replacement FAQs
We know that you may have questions about dental implants, and we're here to provide the information you need to feel confident in your decision. Our dental team is committed to answering your questions and guiding you through your treatment process. Common teeth replacement questions include:
Yes, after healing, dental implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy most foods without restriction. During the healing process, you may need to avoid hard or sticky foods to enable the implant to integrate with your jawbone properly.
You should care for your dental implant as you would your natural teeth. Brushing twice daily, flossing daily, and visiting our dentist regularly for checkups will help keep your implants healthy and functioning properly.
Recovery time can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of your procedure, but most patients take 1-2 weeks to recover from the initial surgery. The full healing process, including implant integration with your bone, may take several months.
