Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to missing teeth? Dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking way to restore your smile and improve your quality of life. At Replace Roots we provide personalized dental implant treatments that will help you smile with confidence again.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into your jawbone. They provide a sturdy foundation for permanent replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. Implants are an excellent solution for patients who are missing teeth due to injury, decay, or other reasons.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
1. A Long-Term Solution
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. They bond with your jawbone to become a permanent part of your mouth, making them highly durable.
2. Natural Appearance and Function
Dental implants are designed to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring that they blend seamlessly into your smile. They function just like regular teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile without worrying about discomfort or slippage.
3. Improved Oral Health
With dental implants, there’s no need to reduce healthy teeth to support a bridge. They help preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining the structure of your face.
4. Increased Comfort
Implants eliminate the discomfort and irritation associated with removable dentures. Once placed, they feel and function just like natural teeth, providing greater comfort and ease.
The Dental Implant Process: What to Expect
The process of getting dental implants typically involves several steps, each of which is tailored to your specific needs:
Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation
The first step is a comprehensive consultation where we assess your oral health and discuss your goals. This includes X-rays, scans, and possibly a 3D image of your jawbone to ensure you are a good candidate for implants.
Step 2: Implant Placement
The implant is placed into your jawbone through a minimally invasive procedure. Most patients experience little discomfort during this process, thanks to local anesthesia and sedation options.
Step 3: Osseointegration
Once the implant is in place, your jawbone will need time to heal and integrate with the implant. This process, called osseointegration, typically takes several months.
Step 4: Abutment and Crown Placement
After the healing period, an abutment is placed on the implant to support the crown (artificial tooth). The final crown is custom-made to match the shape and color of your natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Durability: Implants can last a lifetime with proper care, making them a wise long-term investment in your oral health.
- No More Slipping or Clicking: Dental implants stay securely in place, offering you confidence when eating, talking, or laughing.
- Preserve Your Jawbone: Implants help prevent bone loss and support facial structure, maintaining a youthful appearance.
- No Impact on Neighboring Teeth: Implants don’t require altering adjacent healthy teeth, unlike traditional bridges.
Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most people who are in good general health and have healthy gums are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates should also have adequate bone density in the jaw to support the implants. However, if bone loss has occurred, we can explore solutions like bone grafting to prepare your jaw for implant placement.
Dental Implants vs. Dentures: Which Is Better?
| Dental Implants | Dentures |
|---|---|
| Permanent and stable | Removable and may shift |
| Maintain jawbone structure | Can cause bone loss over time |
| Function like natural teeth | May be uncomfortable and need adjustment |
| No need to alter neighboring teeth | May require adjusting or replacing over time |
