What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are replacements for missing teeth that serve to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Surgically placed into the jawbone, the implants and your bone gradually fuse together. This allows for the attachment of the replacement tooth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

What are the Benefits?

 

Dental implants not only enhance your smile, but also contribute to the well-being of your oral and overall health. Missing teeth can lead to bone loss, changes in facial structure, and difficulties in speaking and chewing. Dental implants play a crucial role by preventing the shifting of teeth, reducing the risk of gum disease, and promoting proper alignment in the bite.

Dental Implants FAQs

 

If you’re thinking about dental implants, you may have some concerns. Here we’ve addressed common questions.

 
 

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a sturdy foundation for the customized replacement teeth to match the shape and color of the natural teeth.

The ideal candidate for dental implants has good overall health, enough bone in their jaw to support the implant, and shows no signs of gum disease. It is best to consult with your dentist to determine if dental implants are right for you.

The procedure is a lengthy one. Although the process can vary depending on individual circumstances, it typically takes several months to complete. During the healing period, most patients may expect their dental implants to fully fuse to their jawbone within a few weeks to several months. Once this process is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant followed by the replacement tooth attached to the abutment.

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Dental implants must be treated like natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.
