What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are unlike dental bridges and dentures. Made of titanium, they fuse easily with bone tissues and can restore an entire tooth structure from root to crown. Delivering maximum support to crowns, bridges and dentures, these prosthetics are highly versatile in their ability to remain in place for decades or even a lifetime.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – A consultation with a member of our team is essential as it will determine if you need preparatory treatment before receiving your dental implants (i.e., bone grafting, gum disease treatment, etc.).
- Dental Implant Surgery – Since the entire procedure is performed in-house, you don’t need to worry about seeing an outside specialist to have your dental implants put into place.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – After spending 4-6 months allowing osseointegration to occur (fusing of the implant with the bone), you will return to our office to have your abutments put into place.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – Before your smile is complete, we must attach your custom restoration(s) on top using the abutments as connectors, completing the look and function of your smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants
If you appreciate replacement teeth that have a long lifespan of 30+ years, make it easy to eat all your favorite foods, provide stimulation to your jawbone to prevent resorption and facial sagging, allow for improved oral health and have a significantly high success rate of 95% even after 10 years, you can’t go wrong with dental implants. Their benefits stand out among all other forms of tooth replacement, making them the gold standard among professionals in the field.
Dental Implant FAQ’s
How are dental implants different from dentures?
Dentures are a set of teeth or partial set of teeth that need to be removed and cared for in a special manner. They can often feel bulky and are difficult to get used to. Dental implants are a permanent replacement for missing teeth that can be cared for just like natural teeth.
How much do dental implants cost?
The price of your dental implants will vary based on the level of experience of your doctor, how many implants you are having placed, the amount of insurance coverage and more. Schedule a consultation with us to determine a price for your dental implants and a financing plan if necessary.
Do dental implants hurt?
No. A local anesthetic will be given before the procedure so that you do not feel any pain. If you have anxiety or fear, you should discuss sedation options with us during your consultation.
How long do dental implants last?
When cared for properly, dental implants should last a lifetime. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential to the success of your implants.
