What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots. They are usually made of titanium. They are implanted in your jaw. They serve as artificial tooth roots. When they bond with your jaw via a process known as osseointegration, they provide a foundation for artificial teeth. Dental implants serve as the foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dental implants are different from conventional tooth replacement options such as dentures or bridges. Unlike dentures or bridges, which simply rest on your gums, dental implants work like your natural teeth.
Types of Dental Implants Available
At Beyond Smiles Dental, implant treatments are tailored to your individual requirements. This includes:
- Single Tooth Implant
This is recommended for use when replacing a missing tooth with a crown.
- Implant Supported Bridges
This is recommended for use when replacing missing teeth without disturbing the healthy teeth next to the missing teeth.
- Implant Supported Dentures
This is recommended for use when replacing most missing teeth.
- Mini Dental Implants
This is recommended for use when dealing with patients who have low bone density.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The dental implant procedure is done in several stages to ensure success over time:
- Consultation and Evaluation
Our dentist will use advanced technology to assess your oral condition and determine if dental implants are right for you.
- Implant Placement
A titanium implant is placed in your jawbone through a precise surgical procedure.
- Healing Phase
The implant is integrated into your jawbone over time, usually within a few months.
- Final Restoration
The crown, bridge, or denture is firmly attached to the implant.
Dental Implants vs Traditional Options
| Feature | Dental Implants | Dentures / Bridges |
|---|---|---|
| Stability | Fixed & Secure | May Slip or Shift |
| Bone Health | Preserves Bone | Can Cause Bone Loss |
| Maintenance | Easy | More Care Needed |
You May Be a Good Candidate for dental implants If:
- You have one or more missing teeth
- You have healthy gums
- You have enough jawbone density
- You are willing to maintain good oral hygiene habits
- Although you might not have enough bone density, you can still have dental implants done by grafting your bones.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Dental implants have the same maintenance requirements as your natural teeth. This implies that you will have to:
- Brush your dental implants at least twice a day
- Floss your dental implants regularly
- Visit your dentist regularly
- Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, especially when your dental implants are still healing
This will ensure your dental implants serve you for decades.
