Dental implants offer a permanent solution for those aiming for a flawless, white smile. They’re an excellent choice for individuals with broken, damaged, or missing teeth, functioning as artificial teeth securely placed in the jawbone. Built to last around 25 years or more, dental implants provide durability and longevity.
These implants mimic natural teeth, enabling patients to speak and eat normally without discomfort or irritation to the gums or mouth. They offer lasting results and, with proper care, can endure a lifetime, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Preservation of natural bone and stimulation of new bone growth.
- Durability and long-term financial value compared to other restorative options.
- Dental implants are a permanent solution and do not slip or click like removable solutions.
- Dental implants are comfortable and feel natural in the mouth.
- Dental implants restore full chewing power and are as strong as natural teeth.
What to Expect During the Dental Implant Process
The dental implant procedure involves multiple visits to our office. We commence with a consultation to discuss your goals and design personalized treatment plan. Once ready to proceed, we begin by surgically placing the implant into the jawbone, followed by a healing period.
During the healing phase, osseointegration occurs, allowing the implant to fuse securely with the jawbone. Sufficient jawbone is crucial for the stability of dental implants. If necessary, bone grafts may be performed to provide additional support.
After healing is complete, you’ll return to complete the implant process. An abutment or connector is attached to the implant to hold the custom-made implant crown securely in place. Temporary crowns may be utilized until the permanent one is installed, matching the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.
