What Are Dental Implants Used For?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Over time, these implants fuse with the jawbone, offering a permanent solution for tooth loss that does not rely on neighboring teeth for support, as traditional bridges do.
The process of receiving dental implants at our practice involves several key steps:
- An initial consultation and comprehensive evaluation to determine if dental implants are the right option for you, including assessments of your oral health and jawbone density.
- The surgical placement of the implant post into the jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure patient comfort.
- A healing period, allowing the implant to integrate with the jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. During this time, a temporary tooth replacement option may be provided.
- Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant post, completing the restoration.
Benefits of dental implants include:
- Enhanced Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth, providing a natural appearance.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike tooth-supported bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Durability: With proper care, implants are very durable and can last many years, potentially a lifetime.
- Improved Comfort and Function: Implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures and improve speech, eating and oral hygiene practices.
