What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is placed into the jawbone and acts as a replacement root for a missing tooth. These posts are made of titanium since this metal interacts safely with human tissue, and poses a very limited risk of rejection. While some patients prefer removable dental appliances, many patients are looking for a more permanent, convenient solution to missing teeth. Ideal dental implant patients are those who don’t use tobacco products, are in good oral health overall, and who have enough strong bone in their jaw.
Dental Implants For Single Or Multiple Missing Teeth
One of the best aspects of dental implants are their versatility – dental implants can be used to support one, two, or more missing teeth, without the need to replace every tooth with a dental implant. If you’re missing many teeth in a row along one row of teeth, few dental implants may be sufficient to replace all of these teeth with a bridge. If you’ve lost most or all of your teeth, dental implants can be used to support a full bridge or full dentures with only a few implants!
The Advantages Of Dental Implants
Dentures aren’t a fixed solution, often leaving patients wanting something that feels more secure. Dental implants are a fixed solution, resulting in increased support of your smile’s strength and functionality. When properly cared for, dental implants, are made to last you the rest of your life and their crowns are custom-made to resemble your natural teeth, resulting in a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
Caring For Your Implants
When you replace teeth with dental implants, your implants require the same care and maintenance as your natural teeth. When properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime! Simply brush and floss daily as with natural teeth, and enjoy a lifetime of healthy dental implants. The better you care for them, the longer they last!
Our implant services include:
- Sinus Lift Augmentation: If it is determined there is insufficient bone between the bottom of your gums and your sinus (this can be a result of losing the upper back teeth), a graft can be placed returning the sinus cavity to its original size, and replacing lost bone in the process. Once healed, dental implants can be safely placed and expected to last for years. .
- Implant Site Development: When a tooth is extracted there is naturally a significant loss of bone. Without some sort of intervention, often the remaining bone will not be sufficient to support an implant. To prevent this, the site can be grafted to minimize bone loss, leaving a better place for the implant making for a successful implant procedure.
- Computer-Enhanced Treatment Planning: One of the most cutting-edge technologies our team leverages here at It’s YOUR Time Dental is a specialized software that allows our team to evaluate a scan of your mouth from several angles, analyzing bone density and other factors to pinpoint the best possible location for implant placement. This results in the best possible results.
- Implant Maintenance: After your treatment is complete, caring for your dental implants is just as important as caring for your natural teeth. The good news is that caring for your dental implants fits in with caring for your natural teeth – brushing and flossing at least twice daily (and using a water flosser) to remove plaque and food particles, and getting your teeth and implants professionally cleaned on a regular basis will help ensure their longevity.
