Implant dentistry offers a state-of-the-art solution for individuals looking to replace missing teeth. Whether you have lost a single tooth or need to restore several, dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking option that improves both the appearance and functionality of your smile. At our office, we offer a variety of implant dentistry services to meet your unique needs, including single-tooth dental implants, implant-supported dentures and implant-supported bridges.
A single-tooth dental implant consists of a titanium post that is surgically placed in your jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. This implant integrates with your bone to create a secure foundation for a custom-made crown, which is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Not only does this restore your ability to eat and speak normally, but it also prevents bone loss in the jaw, which often occurs after tooth loss.
For those missing multiple teeth, implant-supported dental bridges and implant-supported dentures are excellent options. These solutions use dental implants to anchor a bridge or a set of dentures in place, providing increased stability compared to traditional removable prosthetics. Hybrid implant dentures are another popular choice, offering a fixed yet removable solution that combines the benefits of both traditional dentures and implants.
If you prefer a removable option, overdentures are available. These are secured to implants for extra stability while still being easy to remove for cleaning. No matter which option is right for you, our experienced team will work closely with you to design a personalized treatment plan.
Maintaining your dental implants is simple and similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups are essential to ensure your implants remain in top condition. Schedule your consultation today and let us help you restore your smile with our advanced implant dentistry services.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, they fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a replacement tooth or teeth. Once healed, a custom restoration – such as a crown, bridge or denture – can be attached to the implant, restoring both function and appearance. Implants are known for their durability and natural feel.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The dental implant process typically takes several months from start to finish. After the initial implant placement, there is a healing period of three to six months while the implant integrates with the jawbone. Once this is complete, the custom restoration is placed. Though it is a multi-step process, the long-term benefits of dental implants – such as stability and longevity – make them a worthwhile investment in your oral health.
Are dental implants right for me?
Dental implants are a great option for most people with missing teeth, as long as they have healthy gums and sufficient bone structure in the jaw. If you have existing conditions such as gum disease or bone loss, these issues may need to be treated before implant placement. During your consultation, our dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether implants are the right solution for your individual needs.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing and routine dental checkups are essential to maintaining the health of your implants. Additionally, avoid habits such as smoking or chewing on hard objects, as these can affect the stability of your implants. With proper care, dental implants can last many years, providing you with a functional and beautiful smile.
