What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are metal posts, usually titanium, that are surgically fitted into your jawbone to support artificial teeth. The implants fuse with the jawbone to permanently replace the roots and form a foundation for dental restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures. The prosthetics attach to the implants through abutments. Dental implants are permanent and give you the appearance, functionality, and stability of natural teeth.
Do I Qualify for Dental Implants?
To ensure your implant treatment is successful, you need good oral health and adequate jawbone to support the implants. If you struggle with gum disease, we will discuss treating it first to create a healthy foundation for your dental restoration. In case of a weak or insufficient jawbone, we can perform pretreatments to add bone to the affected areas and ensure you have enough bone for your implants. Our pretreatment options include:
- Bone grafts: A bone graft procedure aims to boost jawbone density and volume for patients with an inadequate or weak jawbone. It involves transplanting healthy bone tissue to the affected area to facilitate bone regeneration.
- Sinus Lifts: A sinus lift is a unique type of bone graft that adds bone to the upper jaw between the molars and the premolars. During the process, we lift the sinus membrane upward before transplanting bone tissue to the area. This adds a more substantial layer of bone and makes implant placement possible in the upper jaw area.
When you visit us for a consultation, our team will perform an oral assessment to determine whether dental implants are right for you. You can count on us to be communicative and honest and answer any questions you may have so you can make an informed decision.
Our Implant Restorations Treatments
All our treatments begin with a thorough evaluation to understand your smile needs and plan your treatment. For dental implant consultations, we employ a CBCT scanner that provides us with a 3D digital map of your oral structure to improve the efficiency of our treatments. After establishing that you are a qualified candidate for the treatment, our dentist will place the implants with accuracy. You will then need time to heal and allow the implants to fuse with your jawbone for stability.
Once your jaw has healed, we'll invite you back to our office for the last step, where our team will place the final custom restoration to complete the implant. You can then chew, speak and smile like you would with natural teeth.
Our Dental Implant Restorations
Dental implants are highly versatile when it comes to tooth replacement. Because they replace the tooth root, it's possible to replace any number or configuration of missing teeth, even a full dental arch. Our implant-supported restorations include:
- Crowns: We provide implant-supported dental crowns to replace a single missing tooth or individual teeth.
- Bridges: Implant-supported bridges can replace up to four missing teeth in a row.
- Implant-supported dentures: If you have lost several teeth but still have some healthy ones remaining, partial dentures could be for you. Full dentures replace an entire set of missing teeth in your upper or lower jaw. Full dentures use 6-8 implants to provide stability and even distribution of biting force.
- All-on-4® Dental Implants: All-on-4 treatment uses four dental implants to replace an entire set of missing teeth. Each implant is precisely placed and angled to evenly distribute chewing force and provide lasting stability. Our dentist can discuss this option with you to determine whether you would qualify for All-on-4.
We also provide dental implants with full mouth rehabilitation and reconstruction to enhance the function and beauty of your smile. Our team will explain the entire treatment and answer any questions you might have so you can have more control over your oral health.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Other than restoring your oral function and smiles aesthetics, dental implants have numerous benefits. Some of the advantages of dental implants you can enjoy include:
Natural-looking results: Implants offer the stability of natural teeth, allowing you to chew and grind food with ease. We use tooth-colored dental restorations made with lifelike materials to give you a natural-looking smile.
Prevents bone loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, which prevents bone degradation and promotes bone health.
Maintain your facial features: Dental implants keep you looking youthful by preventing changes in facial structure that usually occur after tooth loss.
Permanence: Unlike other replacement options that last for a few years, dental implants fuse permanently with the jawbone and are incredibly long-lasting. With proper care and maintenance, they can last you a lifetime.
Prevents teeth from shifting: Existing teeth tend to move towards the resulting gap and may become loose after tooth loss. Implants provide support to adjacent teeth and prevent them from shifting.
Confidence: By giving you a smile that functions as good as it looks, dental implants boost your confidence and improve the overall quality of your life.
Easy Maintenance: Dental implants do not require special care. You can take care of them as you would natural teeth by brushing your teeth at least twice a day and going for biannual dental checkups.
