What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an advanced dental restoration used to replace missing teeth with a focus on long-lasting, natural-looking results. They provide a permanent, fixed solution for replacing missing or extracted teeth and restoring your smile after being affected by tooth loss. The dental implant is made up of two parts: the dental implant post and the abutment, which is attached to the dental implant post once it has been secured into place in your jaw. The “tooth” part is called the crown, and it rests on the anchored implant structure, replacing your missing tooth and doing anything that your natural teeth can do.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants have many benefits over other dental restoration options, making them popular among a wide range of patients. Some of the key benefits our patients report can include:

• They look and feel like your natural teeth, so you can go about your daily life without worrying about them falling out.
• Dental implants are also highly durable, able to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
• In addition, dental implants help preserve the surrounding healthy teeth by not requiring dental bridges or dentures, which may require other teeth to be filed down for support. Finally, dental implants can help maintain your jawbone density and strength by stimulating the bone similar to natural teeth. This helps prevent the jaw from shrinking due to insufficient stimulation from missing teeth.

If you are ready to rebuild your smile with dental implants, contact our office today to learn more and get started with a personal consultation with our implant specialist.

Call our office today to learn more about dental implants and find out if they are the right dental solution for you, or we can match you with our other replacement options.

What Is the Process Like for Getting Dental Implants?

At Dream Smile City, dental implants are a straightforward process, but they can take a bit of time and a few visits to finalize your results. We start with an initial consultation to determine if dental implants are the best option for your dental needs and goals, discussing the entire process with you. After that, we will create a customized dental implant treatment plan featuring steps spread over about two more visits. These include:

• Placement of dental implant posts
• Attaching abutment hardware
• Fitting dental implant crowns

When you leave our office after the treatment is complete, you will have a fully restored smile with dental implants you can enjoy for years to come.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

When properly cared for, dental implants can last anywhere from decades to a lifetime. With regular dental checkups and professional dental cleanings every six months, dental implants are durable enough to last for years without needing any replacement. However, it is important to maintain good dental health after you receive dental implants with daily brushing and flossing as well as regular dental visits with us. If you need any additional care tips, we will gladly provide help and knowledge along the way. Just give us a call and we are always happy to help and do our part in keeping your smile at its best.
