What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots that will be the base for supporting replacement teeth. They are metal posts made from body-safe material like titanium or titanium alloy, surgically implanted into your jawbone.
The components of a dental implant are:
- The Post
- The Abutment
- The Restoration
After your implants heal and the posts fully bond to your jawbone, we will design and place a crown, bridge, or denture. This prosthetic will be a functional, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth, keeping your smile healthy and in optimal alignment.
Our Dental Implant Process
Our dental implant process begins with a consultation with our general dentist and a thorough oral exam. We will determine the right implant options for your particular smile needs and create a personalized treatment plan to help you return to good oral health. Our practice focuses on how to care for you and your unique smile requirements. We'll never push any unneeded services on you and will always discuss our care options with you should you have any questions or concerns.
We use an iTero® scanner to scan target areas to make a digital impression. This scan will serve as the model for your implant restoration. To meet you at your comfort, we also offer traditional putty impressions.
After determining the treatment plan, the implant posts will be carefully placed in the targeted area to provide optimal support. Once the posts have bonded to your jawbone, you will come in so we can place your permanent restoration. Whether you're receiving a single crown or more complex partial dentures, our experienced dentist has the skills and expertise you can trust. Our team will always take the time necessary to place your restoration and make any adjustments to help ensure it fits into your smile seamlessly and comfortably.
What Are the Benefits of Replacing Missing Teeth?
There are a lot of benefits associated with getting dental implants. From improving your overall dental health to boosting aesthetic appeal, dental implants are an excellent option to restore your smile. Dental implants can help:
Improve your bite alignment: When you are missing teeth, their absence can cause uncomfortable bite alignment issues, negatively affecting your overall dental health. Complications like jaw pain and joint misalignment can arise if these issues are allowed to progress. Your teeth also drift into empty spaces, so they no longer meet effectively, causing pain and dental wear. Even if alignment issues seem slight, it's important to consult our dentist to avoid potential discomfort and structural issues with your jaw worsening over time.
Keep gums healthy: Missing teeth create spaces that can become pockets where food can get trapped, and bacteria can multiply. Even with good oral hygiene, avoiding complications like gum disease can become difficult. By filling in these spaces with our dental implant-supported restorations, we can help avoid these issues and promote the good health of your gums and teeth.
Prevent Bone Loss: If you have missing teeth, that part of your jaw loses the chewing stimulation that keeps it healthy. Without it, the jawbone eventually begins to shrink. Losing bone in your jaw can lead to the need for costly procedures in the future. Dental implants promote healthy jawbones and help keep your facial structure youthful.
Provide more confidence in your smile: If you hide your smile because you feel you have unsightly gaps between teeth, dental implants help give you the confidence you need to start smiling again. Implants not only protect your dental health, but they also restore the aesthetic appeal of your overall smile. We take care to make your implant restorations look natural and flattering and can pair treatment with other cosmetic services for a full smile transformation.
