Dental implants provide a stable, long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or an entire arch of teeth, dental implants restore both function and appearance. The implant itself is a small post that is surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as a replacement for the missing tooth root. This post integrates with the bone through a natural process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation for your restoration.

The Dental Implant Process

The process of getting a dental implant typically involves several steps. After an initial consultation, the implant post is placed surgically in the jawbone. A healing period follows, allowing the bone to fuse with the post. This integration ensures stability and prevents bone loss, which is a common issue when teeth are missing. Once the healing process is complete, a custom-made dental restoration is secured onto the implant. Depending on your needs, this implant restoration may be a single dental crown, a bridge or a full denture.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous benefits over traditional tooth replacement options. They look and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are designed to be a permanent solution, requiring no adhesives or special maintenance beyond regular oral hygiene. Additionally, implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing the deterioration that often occurs after tooth loss. By maintaining bone structure, dental implants also support facial aesthetics and prevent premature aging.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

If you are missing one or more teeth and have sufficient jawbone density, you may be a good candidate for dental implants. A thorough evaluation by our dentists, including digital imaging, will help determine if implants are the best option for you. If bone loss has already occurred, procedures such as bone grafting may be necessary to prepare the site for implant placement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

How long do dental implants last?

+
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant post integrates with the jawbone, creating a stable foundation. However, the restoration, such as a crown or bridge, may need replacement over time due to normal wear. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene help maintain longevity.

Is getting a dental implant painful?

+
The implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, ensuring minimal discomfort. Most patients report mild soreness afterward, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. The healing process is gradual, and any discomfort typically subsides within a few days. Our dentists will provide post-operative care instructions for a smooth recovery.

How do I care for dental implants?

+
Caring for dental implants is similar to maintaining natural teeth. Brushing twice daily, flossing around the implant, and using an antibacterial mouthwash help prevent plaque buildup. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings are also essential to monitor the health of the implant and surrounding gum tissue.

Can smokers get dental implants?

+
Smoking can increase the risk of implant failure by affecting bone healing and gum health. While smokers can still receive dental implants, they may require additional precautions, such as bone grafting or specialized aftercare. Quitting or reducing smoking before and after the procedure improves the chances of long-term implant success.
