What Are Tooth Implants?

Dental implants are synthetic tooth roots surgically inserted into your jawbone to provide support for dental restorations. They serve as a stable foundation for these restorations, delivering a natural look and feel. Dental implants are made of three parts: the post, which is surgically placed into your jawbone and integrates over time through osseointegration; the abutment, which connects the post to the restoration; and the dental restoration itself, which is the visible crown, bridge, or denture acting as your new tooth or teeth.

Our Dental Implant Options

Our dentist offers various tooth implant options to meet your unique dental needs. Whether you're looking to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even complete arches, our dental restorations are designed to restore aesthetics and function for a healthier, more confident smile. Our dental restorations include:

Crowns: Our crowns are ideal for replacing a single missing tooth. Our dentist carefully attaches a crown to the implant to restore both function and appearance, allowing it to seamlessly blend with your natural teeth for a beautiful result.
Bridges: When multiple teeth are missing, our team creates a bridge consisting of two or more crowns anchored to implants. This effectively fills the gap between your healthy teeth while providing the stability and strength needed for everyday use.
Dentures: For those experiencing extensive tooth loss, we provide implant-supported dentures that can replace complete arches of teeth. This option offers enhanced stability and improved functionality, allowing you to speak and eat confidently.

Our Dental Implant Process

Our tooth implant process begins with a thorough consultation with our dentist to assess your oral health and determine the appropriate treatment plan. If necessary, we may perform pretreatments, such as extractions or gum disease treatments, to make sure your mouth is healthy enough for the implant. We allow time for healing after pretreatments, which is important for your overall dental health. Once your mouth has healed, you will return to our office for the surgical placement of the implant.

After implant placement, you'll have an extended healing period, during which the implant integrates with the jawbone. You will return to have your dental restoration placed, completing your smile transformation. This comprehensive process results in a lasting and functional solution that blends beautifully with your natural teeth.

Pretreatments for Tooth Implants

Our dentist performs essential pretreatments for dental implants, such as extractions and gum disease treatments, when your gums and mouth are not healthy enough to support an implant. Extractions involve the removal of damaged or decayed teeth to create a suitable site for the implant. Gum disease treatments address issues like periodontal disease, which weakens the supporting structures of the gums and teeth. By treating these conditions, we help create a healthier environment for successful implant placement, making these steps crucial for achieving optimal long-term results with dental implants.

Dental Implant FAQs

We understand dental implants can feel intimidating, but our team is here to provide the support and information you need. We have the experience to address any questions and guide you through every step of your treatment. Common tooth implant questions include:

How do I care for my implants after placement?

Caring for dental implants involves the same care you provide to your natural teeth. This includes regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups in our office to maintain oral health.

Can dental implants affect my speech?

Initially, some patients may experience minor speech changes, but most adjust quickly. Our dental implants are designed to feel and function like natural teeth, restoring your normal speech.

Can I eat normally after getting dental implants?

After the initial healing period, you should be able to eat normally. However, during the first few weeks of your healing period, consuming only soft foods is recommended.

How long do dental implants last?

Your implant can last 25 years to a lifetime with proper care. Regular dental checkups in our office and good oral hygiene are essential for their longevity.
