What are dental

implants?

Dental implants are a long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable teeth and offer the look and feel of natural teeth, restoring oral function and aesthetics. Dental implants consist of:

1. A titanium post that integrates with your jawbone

2. A custom-made crown that matches your natural teeth

3. An abutment that connects the post to the crown

Types of Dental Implants

Depending on individual needs, options for dental implants include single teeth, implant bridges, and dentures. They offer a long-term solution, preserving the jawbone and surrounding teeth. Dental implants can be an effective option for either a single-tooth replacement or multiple-tooth restoration. The implant procedure is performed in stages, allowing for healing and proper integration with the jawbone.

Single-Tooth Dental Implants

Single-tooth implants are an ideal choice for replacing one missing tooth. These implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a strong and aesthetic replacement. The process involves placing a small post in the jaw. After a period of healing, an implant extension is placed, and the final restoration is completed with a crown.

Implant
Bridges

Implant bridges are a great solution for patients missing several teeth. The procedure is similar to a single-tooth implant but allows multiple teeth to be replaced simultaneously. Typically, two abutments (posts) are placed in the jaw, and the new artificial teeth fill the gap between them. This allows for seamless and natural-looking restoration of your smile and bite.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer a solution for overcoming the limitations of traditional dentures. They securely latch onto titanium implants embedded in the jawbone, ensuring they stay in place during eating and talking. Unlike traditional dentures, this method promotes jawbone stimulation, preventing atrophy.

I needed a repair on my dentures and I dropped them off. Not only did they do the repair, but they tightened up the entire frame. They fit like brand new. They went above and beyond my expectations to solve my problem. One of the best Dentist I’ve ever had.

Everyone was so nice and made me feel very comfortable even though I was totally embarrassed about the way my teeth looked. The front desk lady patiently explained to me cost and payment options she answered all my questions. I can’t wait to get started on my new smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about dental financing

What are dental implants made of?

Dental implants are made of biocompatible titanium that fuses with your jawbone. This strong, safe material provides a stable base for your replacement tooth and prevents bone loss.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The process usually takes three to six months, depending on healing and bone integration. After the implant fuses with your jawbone, a custom crown is placed to complete your smile.

Are dental implants painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you feel little to no discomfort. Mild soreness afterward is normal and easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper oral care and regular checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime. Avoiding smoking and maintaining good hygiene will help extend their durability.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

You may be a good candidate if you have healthy gums, sufficient bone density, and no uncontrolled health conditions. Our dentist will evaluate your oral health to recommend the best treatment plan.
