What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are solutions for replacing missing teeth that offer exceptional durability and longevity. Designed to replicate the entire tooth structure from root to crown, these tooth implants become permanent additions to your smile. Dental implants are made up of three separate parts that include:
- The Implant Post: A small, body-safe metal post is surgically anchored into your jawbone, offering a robust foundation for your dental restoration.
- The Abutment: This component is attached to the implant post and creates a point for securing your restoration.
- The Restoration: This is the visible part of the dental implant. It can be a crown, a bridge, or an overdenture. We meticulously craft our restorations to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and restore excellent oral functionality.
3 Advantages of Choosing Dental Implants
While our primary aim is to preserve your natural teeth, dental implants present a great alternative for teeth that are no longer viable. Dr. Sedberry will detail how dental implants can specifically benefit your unique oral health, but some of the universal advantages include:
- Longevity: Once integrated with your jawbone, dental implants serve as a permanent part of your smile, offering exceptional durability and resistance to daily wear and tear.
- Improved Oral Function: Dental implants restore your ability to eat and speak, closely mimicking the performance of your natural teeth.
- Improved Jaw Bone Health: Tooth implant posts provide stimulation that mimics natural tooth roots, keeping your jaw bone healthy.
Our Dental Implant Placement Process
We kick off the dental implant process with a thorough evaluation of your oral health, employing digital x-rays and advanced imaging techniques like CBCT scans to assess your jawbone for implants. Our assessment also includes determining whether any pretreatments like bone grafts are necessary to fortify the implant site. We can also perform extractions at our practice, keeping your care conveniently under one roof.
At our practice, we utilize computer-guided surgery to maximize the precision of implant post placements. After your tooth implant post has integrated with your jaw bone, we'll place your final restoration, completing your smile.
Preparing for Your Dental Implant Procedure
For those whose jawbones have weakened due to tooth loss and can't currently support dental implants, we may be able to offer dental implants after performing a bone graft.
Our process involves transplanting a small section of healthy bone to the implant area, promoting a stronger foundation for your implants. We'll always take the time to discuss our pretreatments in detail, helping you feel fully informed and comfortable with the process.
Dental Implant FAQs
Selecting the right practice for your dental implant needs is a crucial step toward getting the smile you deserve. We recognize the importance of this decision and are dedicated to ensuring you feel at ease with our approach. By providing detailed answers to your questions, our goal is to help you understand the process and make you feel confident about choosing us. Below are some of the questions we often receive:
A dental crown's lifespan can vary depending on the material used and how well it's cared for. With good oral hygiene practices and regular dental checkups, they often last between 5-15 years.
Although gum disease can impact the success of dental implants, it doesn't always disqualify you from the procedure. Our team will evaluate your oral health, and if you have gum disease, we will suggest treatments to improve your gum health before implant placement.
Dental implants can replace any number of missing teeth, from a single tooth to a full arch. The extent of tooth loss will determine the type of implant-supported restoration we recommend to complete your smile.
