Discover Dental Implants: A Lasting Solution for Missing Teeth
Are you missing one or more teeth and seeking a reliable solution? Dental implants could be the answer you’re looking for. Here’s everything you need to know as explained by our skilled surgical dentists at Dental Avenue.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone beneath your gums. They serve as sturdy anchors on top of which replacement teeth go on.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Natural Appearance: When done correctly, implant teeth look and function like your own teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
- Longevity: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable investment.
- Preserve Jawbone: Implants integrate with your jawbone and can help maintain its strength and shape.
What is The Treatment Process Like?
- Consultation: Our dentists will assess your oral health as well as your general health and determine if implants are suitable for you. 3D measurements and x-rays will be taken to determine exactly where, how, and how many implants can be placed.
- Your very own treatment and implant plan is formulated and presented to you. Options are given along with a breakdown of costs, then an appointment is made.
- Implant Placement: During what is often a minor surgical procedure, the implant is placed into your jawbone. It is left then to heal and join with the bone over several months.
- Measurements: Once integrated, the implant is made ready for measurement.
- Restoration: A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely connected to the implant/s to complete your smile.
What Are The Benefits of Dental Implants?
- Confidence: You can enjoy speaking, eating, and smiling with confidence, knowing your teeth are stable and natural-looking.
- Comfort: Implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures.
- Durability: They are designed to withstand normal chewing forces and can be cared for like natural teeth.
How Do You Take Care of Implants?
- Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups to maintain your implants and overall oral health.
- Protect Your Investment: Avoid using your teeth to bite hard objects and consider wearing a custom-made mouthguard if you play contact sports.
