What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution for artificially restoring missing or damaged teeth from root to crown. This surgical procedure works by fusing a body-safe titanium post to your jawbone. We then attach an abutment to the top of the post where the custom-made tooth restoration will be placed for a secure, natural-looking, and functional result. Dental implants and restorations can be adapted to fit your unique situation and replace anything from a single tooth to a full mouth restoration.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

If you're unhappy with the aesthetics of your smile or you have difficulty biting, chewing, or even talking, it may be time to consult our trusted team of dentists, who are ready to begin the tooth restoration process when requested. Here are some signs that indicate you may require dental implant solutions to help renew your smile:

  • You suffer from joint pain or bite problems
  • The confidence in your smile is lacking
  • The ease and accuracy of chewing, speech, and digestion could be better
  • The loss of teeth or even jawbone loss are detracting from your healthy, youthful appearance
  • A previously installed bridge or denture requires extra support

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

We will perform a thorough oral exam to ensure you're healthy enough to undergo a successful implant procedure. If we discover that pretreatments are necessary before the surgery, we can provide these services for you. These preliminary procedures include:

  • Gum Disease Treatment: We need to ensure your gums are free from disease and infection before implanting the titanium post. Our dental team will perform a thorough oral exam and provide scaling and root planing procedures if we find signs of periodontal disease.
  • Extraction: If your teeth are beyond saving and need to be removed, we can perform careful extractions to prepare your mouth for restorations.
  • Bone Grafting: Your jawbone must be healthy and strong for the implant post to successfully bond. If the bone doesn't meet our requirements, we can provide bone grafting procedures, which involve transplanting a small amount of bone to your upper or lower jaw, increasing the volume.

The Dental Restoration Process

Once we've determined you are a good candidate for the procedure, we begin the dental implant procedure by taking an impression of your oral structure. This helps our team personalize your tooth restorations specific to your unique smile. These impressions are sent to a laboratory to be crafted before they are returned to our office, and we invite you for final placement.

Our dentists will place the final restoration on the implant post, making any necessary adjustments. We will invite you back for regular visits to answer any questions and concerns you may have while monitoring the durability of the tooth implants.

Dental Implants FAQs

We will never leave you in the dark regarding our process, the materials we use, and aftercare tips. Some frequently asked questions we receive about dental implants include:

How many teeth can you replace with dental implants?

Our custom-made crowns can restore a single tooth. If you need three teeth replaced in a row, we can position a convenient fixed dental bridge, which uses two implant posts to place three restorations, one being suspended in the middle. Our practice also provides implant-supported full or partial dentures, which can replace a segment or a full arch of teeth using just a few implants.

Yes. Our pretreatments and customized tooth restorations will work to restore your teeth and the surrounding gum tissue to look consistent and natural-looking in the context of your smile.

The implant posts will become a permanent part of your smile. Our custom-made restorations will eventually need replacement due to normal wear or damage but can be easily placed without further surgery necessary. With the proper maintenance and routine checkups, your restorations should last ten years or more.
