What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once the implants are securely in place, they provide a stable foundation for attaching replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. This innovative solution looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. We recommend dental implants as the best tooth replacement option available for most patients.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
- Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth.
- Enhanced Comfort: Unlike removable dentures, implants are permanent and eliminate the discomfort of slipping or shifting.
- Improved Function: Enjoy the ability to chew and speak more effectively compared to traditional dentures.
- Durability: Dental implants are a long-lasting solution, often lasting a lifetime with proper care.
- Preservation of Jawbone: Implants help maintain jawbone density, preventing the bone loss that often accompanies missing teeth.
The dental implant procedure
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment. Our skilled dentist will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and determine if dental implants are the right solution. We use advanced imaging techniques to create a detailed plan tailored to your needs.
The next step is the surgical placement of the dental implants. Our team utilizes state-of-the-art technology and techniques to ensure precise and minimally invasive procedures. We prioritize your comfort and safety throughout the process.
After the implants are placed, a healing period of a few months is typically required. During this time, the implants integrate with the jawbone, forming a strong and stable foundation for the replacement teeth.
Once the implants are fully integrated, we proceed with the restoration phase. Custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are crafted to match your natural teeth perfectly. Our goal is to achieve a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
Our office likes to follow up with you after an implant procedure to ensure everything is going well with your implants. This means there is no pain, the fit is good, and you’re happy with the outcome. Of course, if there are any issues, please get in touch with our office at anytime for help.
Taking care of your dental implants
Dental implants are designed to mimic your natural teeth as closely as possible, and while the artificial crowns are not susceptible to cavities or decay in the same way, the rest of your mouth (gums, jawbone etc.) still needs to be taken care of properly.
Maintain good oral hygiene
- Brush twice daily: Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste to brush your teeth, including the implant, at least twice a day.
- Floss daily: Use dental floss or interdental brushes to clean between your teeth and around the implants. This helps remove plaque and prevent gum disease.
Use the right tools
- Interdental brushes: These small brushes can help clean hard-to-reach areas around your implants.
- Antimicrobial mouthwash: Use an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce bacteria and maintain oral hygiene.
- Water flosser: Consider using a water flosser to clean around the implants gently and under the gumline.
Regular dental visits
- Routine check-ups: Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and check-ups. Your dentist will monitor your implants’ health and ensure they function properly.
- Professional cleanings: Professional cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing might miss.
Avoid harmful habits
- No smoking: Smoking can affect the healing process and increase the risk of implant failure. Avoid smoking to ensure the longevity of your implants.
- Limit hard foods: Avoid biting into very hard foods (like ice, hard candies, and unpopped popcorn kernels) that could damage your implants or the surrounding teeth.
Protect your implants
- Mouthguards: If you grind your teeth at night or participate in contact sports, use a mouthguard to protect your implants from damage.
Watch for signs of trouble
- Monitor your oral health: Monitor your gums and overall oral health. Contact your dentist immediately if you notice any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discomfort around the implant site.
- Report issues promptly: If you experience any problems with your implants, such as looseness or pain, report these issues to your dentist right away.
