Dental implants are an ideal tooth replacement solution for missing teeth. Unlike dentures, which are removable and can slip and shift in your mouth, implants are permanently secured into your jaw bone.
During the implant placement process, a titanium post is placed into your jaw bone to act as an artificial tooth root. It will be left in place for four to six months as it fuses with your jawbone. Once the procedure is complete, you’ll return to our office to receive a custom-made restoration.
Costs
Tooth implants are a permanent tooth replacement option that is proven to be effective, reliable, and long-lasting. They are affordable and can be a great solution for those who are missing teeth.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch of teeth. They provide the foundation for a natural-looking restoration that restores chewing function, appearance, and speech.
They can also help preserve facial structure and prevent bone deterioration caused by missing teeth.
The cost of dental implants will vary depending on the number of implants needed, the level of experience the dentist has, and any insurance coverage that may be available.
During the implant procedure, the dentist will place a titanium post into the jawbone where the tooth root used to be. After the implant has healed, a tooth-colored crown is placed on top of it.
Treatment Time
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, tooth implants are a more permanent alternative than bridges. Implants are anchored to the bone, and function as replacement tooth roots, which means that they will never shift around in your mouth like dentures can.
Dental implants are used to replace single or multiple missing teeth, and can even help to retain existing dentures. When fitted, dental implants look and feel just like natural teeth.
Once the implant has been placed in your jaw, it will need a few months to fuse with your jaw bone, which helps it to become as strong as natural teeth.
Some dentists can accelerate this process by applying Plasma Rich Growth Factor (PRGF). PRGF stimulates tissue regeneration using a small amount of blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge machine.
When your new restoration has been created, you can then return to the clinic for it to be attached to your implant. Once this is completed, you can smile confidently knowing that you have a beautiful, healthy smile again!
Preparation
Dental implants are a great alternative to missing teeth. They look and feel much like real teeth, and can be placed into the jawbone to help maintain bone health.
Implants can also replace a tooth lost due to injury or infection. They are typically made from titanium or ceramic, and they can last for many years.
However, they can fail if you do not take proper care of them. That is why you need to make regular appointments for checkups and cleanings to prevent complications.
Before you can receive a dental implant, you need to undergo several procedures that prepare the area for surgery. The dentist will evaluate the site, take x-rays, and perform an exam.
Surgery
It’s no secret that missing teeth can cause significant issues with your oral health and self-esteem. It can make it difficult to eat and speak with confidence, and even affect the way you smile.
However, dental implants can provide a permanent solution for missing teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural ones. They also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone loss and promoting healthy jaw function.
The process of getting tooth implants starts with a surgical procedure that involves placing a titanium implant post into the jaw bone where your missing teeth once were. It’s then left to heal for several months while it bonds with the surrounding bone.
After the implant has healed, a small connecting piece called an abutment is placed on it. It’s then ready for a crown, bridge, or denture to complete your restoration.
Dental implants are a cost-effective option for replacing missing teeth. In addition, they’re designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
