Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials such as titanium. They are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or dental prosthetics, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants offer a permanent solution for tooth loss and mimic the natural look, feel, and function of real teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

  • Improved Functionality: Dental implants restore the ability to bite, chew, and speak with confidence.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Implants look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your smile and facial appearance.
  • Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.
  • Preservation of Jawbone: Implants stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss, maintaining the integrity of the jawbone structure.
  • Convenience: Unlike removable dentures, implants are permanently fixed in place, eliminating the need for adhesives or removal during daily activities.

FAQS:

  1. Who is a suitable candidate for dental implants?
    Dental implants are suitable for most individuals with good oral health and sufficient jawbone density. However, a thorough evaluation by our dental professionals is necessary to determine candidacy.
  2. How long does the dental implant process take?
    The duration of the dental implant process varies depending on individual circumstances. It typically involves multiple stages, including consultation, implant placement, healing period, and restoration. On average, the entire process can take several months to complete.
  3. Are dental implants painful?
    During the implant placement surgery, patients are typically under local anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience. Some discomfort and swelling may occur after the procedure, but it can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

How Dental Implants Work:

Dental implants replace missing teeth by placing a post into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time. This process, called osseointegration, provides a stable base for an abutment and a custom-made crown or denture, restoring function and appearance naturally and securely.
