What You Need to Know
A dental implant is a titanium post that gets placed in your jawbone to act as an “anchor” for future tooth restoration. The process is as follows:
- Imaging – We will first obtain a 3D image of your jaw to ensure that you are an ideal candidate.
- Placing – Once we have determined you are an ideal candidate, the dental implant will be placed in the tooth site.
- Healing – After the procedure, you will need to wait between three to six months to allow your mouth to adequately heal.
- Restoration – Once healed, our team will add a custom-created crown to your implant to give you a fuller smile.
- Follow-Up – Lastly, we will follow up with you to ensure you’re happy with your implant and crown restoration.
Benefits of an Implant
There are many health and aesthetic benefits for patients who decide to choose dental implants. Some of the benefits include:
- Better Oral Health – Having an implant can help keep your overall mouth healthy, which can reduce the risk of gum disease and other problems associated with losing teeth.
- Improved Speech – A dental implant is an excellent way to restore your teeth so that you can effectively speak again!
- Boosted Self-Esteem – One of the most obvious benefits of dental implants is that they look great! Many people who are missing teeth choose to get dental implants because they want to feel confident in their smile again.
Implant Retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures are an excellent alternative to traditional braces.
With this restoration option, your denture will be connected to your mouth via implants. This means that there is no slipping/falling out AND it helps you maintain the integrity of your jaw bone.
