Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial roots surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone that then hold replacement crowns for your missing teeth. Dental implants are commonly made from titanium, a medical-grade material that is sanitary and efficient in its use. Dental implants can replace a single tooth or several teeth, depending on your needs. Implants are divided into single-tooth implants and bridge-on implants, each having its own benefits for patients who are missing teeth, whether a single tooth or multiple.

The Benefits Of Dental Implants

Dental implants have many advantages, making them an excellent replacement for a missing tooth. When placed by the right dentist, a dental implant can deliver some of the benefits listed below:

• They replace the tooth's root structure and become a fused part of the body for enhanced durability.

• Implants do not differ from real teeth visually and by how they feel. They simply look like a natural part of your smile.

• In time, dental implants become so comfortable that patients do not even feel them.

• They are enduring and can last a lifetime when cared for properly and paired with healthy oral hygiene.

What's The Process For Getting Dental Implants?

Dental implants are mostly made out of titanium or titanium alloys that are considered strong and enduring materials. The implants are placed by a surgical process conducted with the patient remaining comfortable after the application of anesthesia. In time, the jaw bone develops around the newly placed implants, granting them more stability as they become fused to the bone itself.

In specific cases, patients may need special treatment beforehand, such as a bone graft, to prepare them for implants. A dental bone graft is a straightforward procedure that allows the patient to naturally regenerate jaw bone mass. Once the jawbone has built itself back up enough, then patients can pursue dental implants.

In this case, the best solution may prove to be dental overdentures or an all on 4 set. Implant overdentures are an excellent option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth.
