COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY DENTISTRY IN ALLENTON
Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a safe and durable replacement for missing teeth. Furthermore, they function like natural teeth and present a very natural appearance within your mouth.
Our doctor is dedicated to ensuring your optimal comfort and quality care. To achieve this, we utilize the latest techniques and technologies that enable efficient, stress-free treatment. Consequently, many of our patients consider dental implants an appealing solution for tooth loss and appreciate the relaxed and comfortable experience they provide.
Implantation
Implantation marks the initial stage in a two-part process that delivers a long-term solution for tooth loss. Our doctor gently places the dental implant, a small titanium post, into your jaw. This post serves as an artificial tooth root.
As the implant heals, it fuses with your natural bone, establishing a strong, secure foundation for the replacement tooth or denture. Throughout the process, our team takes great care to ensure your optimal comfort. Ultimately, we aim for you to have an excellent implantation experience along with beautiful results.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Implants are an aesthetic, effective solution for tooth loss. There are many great benefits to choosing tooth implants.
-
Natural-looking smile: Implants are crafted to closely resemble your natural teeth, restoring a natural-looking smile.
-
Improved oral health: Since there is no need to alter surrounding teeth to anchor implants, more of your natural teeth are preserved intact, improving long-term oral health.
-
Improved speech: With removable, non-anchored dentures, teeth can slip within the mouth, causing slurred or mumbled speech. Tooth implants remove that concern.
-
Improved comfort: Implants avoid the slipping and discomfort of removable dentures.
-
Improved function: Implants function like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat without pain.
-
Durability: With proper care, Tooth implants can last a lifetime.
-
Protect healthy bone structure: Empty spaces caused by tooth loss can, over time, lead to deterioration of the jawbone. Since dental implants function like tooth roots, they are able to prevent this type of deterioration, just as natural teeth do.
-
Long-term solution: Dentures must be replaced about every 5-7 years. Dental implants, when cared for properly, can last a lifetime.
Considerations
There are several factors that our doctor will consider before recommending dental implants. Some of these include:
- Adequate bone support to anchor the implant
- Healthy gum tissue
- Sinus and nerve location
- Overall health, including any chronic illnesses
In some cases, our doctor may recommend advance treatment for your upper or lower jaw to enable you to have the bone support needed for implantation. As always, your treatment plan is created based on your specific needs and goals for your healthy smile.
Be sure to let us know about any medications you are taking during your consultation. Your health and safety are paramount.
