Dental Implants
Dental implants are one of the most effective and popular dental treatments for replacing missing teeth. They are a permanent solution that can restore the look and function of your teeth, and they can also prevent further dental problems that can occur due to missing teeth. If you’re considering dental implants, here’s what you need to know.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They are made of biocompatible materials such as titanium, which allows them to fuse with the bone and create a stable and durable foundation for replacement teeth.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants work by providing a stable anchor for replacement teeth. The implant is placed into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Once the implant has fused with the bone, a connector called an abutment is attached to the implant, which allows a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture to be securely attached.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants offer many benefits, including:
Improved appearance: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, so they can enhance your smile and boost your confidence.
Improved function: Dental implants allow you to eat and speak with confidence, as they function just like natural teeth.
Improved oral health: Dental implants can prevent further dental problems, such as bone loss and shifting of adjacent teeth, which can occur due to missing teeth.
Long-lasting: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution for tooth replacement.
What is the process of getting dental implants?
Getting dental implants typically involves several appointments over the course of several months. The process includes:
Initial consultation: During your initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants.
Implant placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, and a temporary replacement tooth may be placed while the implant heals.
Abutment placement: Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is placed on top of the implant.
Replacement tooth placement: A replacement tooth, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment.
