The Benefits of Dental Implants Treatment

Dental implants are a highly effective tooth replacement option as they protect your oral health and improve your smile's aesthetic. They are also the only restorations that replace the root and crown of a missing tooth. Here are a few benefits that make implants a reliable and popular option for replacing teeth:

• Natural appearance: Dental implants offer natural-looking results due to their design to look and function like natural teeth. You can continue enjoying your favorite meals and start smiling confidently with your dental implants.
• Permanent solution: Unlike conventional tooth replacement restorations like dentures and bridges, implants are highly durable. Since they permanently fuse with the jawbone, dental implants can serve you for a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
• Low maintenance: The beauty of dental implants is that they do not require special care. Because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth, you can also take care of them as such.
• Bone health: Jawbone degradation is an unpleasant effect of tooth loss. Dental implants prevent bone loss by providing the necessary stimulation to keep your jawbone healthy and strong.
• No Risk of Tooth Decay: Dental implants consists of titanium materials that are not susceptible to decay. However, proper oral hygiene is necessary to keep away gum disease.

Our Dental Implant Pretreatment Procedures

When you visit our practice for dental implant placement, you will undergo a thorough oral evaluation to establish your eligibility. To qualify for dental implants, you need excellent oral health and adequate jawbone to support the restorations. If you have insufficient jawbone or oral health issues, you may have to undergo pretreatments to strengthen your jaw and create a healthy foundation for your implants. We offer the following pretreatment services to prepare you for your implant procedure:

• Extraction: Extraction may be necessary when you have suffered severe tooth damage, decay, or have loose teeth due to gum disease. Our dentist gently performs the extraction and does everything possible to make the process comfortable for you.
• Bone Grafting: Bone grafting enhances the density and volume of your jawbone to facilitate successful bonding with implants. The procedure involves transplanting supplemental bone tissue to the affected area to encourage bone regeneration. Usually, we wait until you heal completely before placing the implants.

Dental Implant Solutions for Your Needs

Dental implants can support various prosthetics to restore your bite function completely. The choice of implant-supported restoration will depend on the number of missing teeth you want to replace and your budget. We offer two implant-supported options to complete your smile, depending on your needs.

• Crowns: Dental crowns are caps that we attach to a single dental implant to fill the gap after tooth loss. We recommend implant-supported crowns for patients replacing individual teeth. Our dental crowns are tooth-colored and will blend seamlessly with the rest of your natural teeth.
• Bridges: If you have lost two or more teeth in a row, you can consider an implant-supported bridge. The bridge rests on two dental implants, unlike conventional bridges that rely on abutment teeth for support. You can replace up to four consecutive missing teeth with one dental bridge.

Post-Treatment Care for Your Implants

The longevity and health of your implants will depend on how well you take care of them. Although they do not require special care and treatment, you should be proactive about your oral hygiene and go for routine checkups. Also, avoid using your teeth to bite hard surfaces as the restorations are susceptible to damage. If you engage in contact sports or physical activity, we recommend wearing a sports guard to protect your teeth.
