What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gums. Once in place, they allow us to mount replacement teeth onto them. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
THE BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
- Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to look and feel like your own teeth.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants do not require reducing other teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Durability: Implants are very durable and can last many years, even a lifetime with good care.
- Improved Comfort and Speech: Implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures and improve speech.
The Dental Implant Procedure
- Initial Consultation: We assess your oral health and discuss the best treatment plan.
- Implant Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Healing Process: A period of healing is required for the implant to osseointegrate (bond) with the jawbone.
- Placement of the Crown: Once the implant has bonded, a replacement tooth (crown) is placed onto the implant.
Caring for Your Dental Implants
- Practice good oral hygiene – brush and floss regularly.
- Regular dental check-ups are essential.
- Avoid damaging habits like chewing hard items or smoking.
