What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to support dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants consist of three parts: the post, which is anchored in the jawbone; the abutment, which connects the post to the restoration; and the restoration itself, which is the visible new tooth that completes the replacement. This structure gives a solid foundation for the restorations, enhancing functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Our Dental Implant Options
Our dentist provides a range of dental implant options to meet your unique needs. Whether you are looking to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth, we have solutions to restore both function and aesthetics. Our dental implant options include:
- Crowns: These are customized to fit over your implant, effectively restoring your smile's function and appearance.
- Bridges: Our bridges are designed to replace multiple missing teeth by anchoring them to adjacent implants.
- Dentures: We offer full and partial dentures supported by implants, providing enhanced stability and comfort.
- All-on-4 Dental Implants: A revolutionary approach that uses four implants to support an entire arch of teeth, offering a fixed solution for those needing multiple replacements. Our dentist will determine if this treatment is right for you.
Pretreatments for Dental Implants
If it is determined that your mouth is not healthy enough to support dental implants, pretreatments may be necessary. Our dentist performs these pretreatments in-house, providing a streamlined treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our pretreatments include:
- Bone Grafts: Our dentist may recommend bone grafts to enhance the density and volume of your jawbone, providing a stable foundation for your implant.
- Sinus Lifts: If you need implants in your upper jaw, a sinus lift may be performed to raise the sinus floor and create sufficient space for the implant.
- Extractions: While saving your natural tooth is always our top priority, if your tooth has too much damage or decay our dentist will perform an extraction to prepare your mouth for the placement of your new implant.
- Gum Disease Treatment: Addressing gum disease is essential before getting implants, as healthy gums are crucial for successful integration and support.
Our Dental Implant Process
Our dental implant process begins with a consultation, where our dentist evaluates your oral health and discusses your specific needs. If your mouth isn't healthy enough to support implants, pretreatments such as bone grafts or gum disease treatment may be necessary.
Once the required pretreatments are completed, you will enter a healing phase to allow your mouth to recover. After healing, we will insert the dental implant using computer-guided surgery, which utilizes low radiation for greater accuracy and safety.
Following the placement of the implant, you will undergo another healing period, and the implant posts will bond with your jawbone, providing stability. Once this healing is complete, you will return to have your custom restoration placed, completing your journey to a restored smile.
Dental Implant FAQs
We understand receiving dental implants can seem intimidating, and you may have questions. Our team is here to answer your questions and guide you throughout your treatment. Common dental implant questions include:
Dental implants can last you 25 years up to a lifetime with proper care, including good oral hygiene. Regular dental visits in our office are also important for their longevity.
After your implant procedure, you may need to stick to soft foods briefly while healing. Once fully healed, you can eat normally, just as you would with natural teeth.
Yes, it is possible to have multiple implants placed during the same procedure, depending on your specific needs. Our dentist will evaluate your case and plan accordingly.
There are no strict age restrictions, but candidates should have fully developed jawbones. Older adults can be excellent candidates if they are in good health.
