What are Dental Implants?
-
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, typically titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once the implant integrates with the bone, it provides a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture, effectively replacing one or more missing teeth. Dental implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, making them the preferred choice for tooth replacement.
Benefits of Dental Implants?
-
Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
-
Permanent Solution: Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants are a permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.
-
Improved Functionality: Implants restore full chewing power, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without worry.
-
Preserves Jawbone Health: Implants help prevent bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing, maintaining the structure and shape of your face.
-
No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, implants do not require the alteration of neighboring teeth, preserving your natural tooth structure.

The Dental Implants Process
-
1. Initial Consultation: During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your goals to determine if you’re a good candidate for dental implants.
-
2. Treatment Planning: We’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines the implant procedure, including any preparatory steps like bone grafting if necessary.
-
3. Implant Placement: The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it will fuse with the bone over a period of several months in a process called osseointegration.
-
4. Abutment Placement: Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant to hold the crown, bridge, or denture.
-
5. Restoration: A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration and giving you a fully functional, natural-looking tooth or teeth.
