Benefits of Dental Implants
- An improvement in your appearance : Implants have a natural look.
- A better smile : The dentist can match the color of your implants with your natural teeth so others will only see your radiant smile.
- More self-confidence : A beautiful smile can increase your self-confidence.
- Instant results at the end of the process : While the dental implant process can take several months, you leave the office with a beautiful smile after the dentist attaches your crowns.
- A permanent solution to decaying or missing teeth : If you properly care for dental implants , they can last for decades.
- Comfortable fit allows you to eat, drink, and speak normally : Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. You can enjoy most foods and drink hot or cold beverages without worrying about pain or discomfort.
- An effective way to maintain the health of your jaw : Missing teeth can lead to gum disease or shifting teeth. Replacing missing teeth with a dental implant supports your jawbone and prevents further deterioration of the underlying bone, promoting greater dental health and facial esthetics.
The Process of Getting a Dental Implant
Receiving dental implants is a multi-step process.
- The dentist evaluates your oral health and determines if there are pre-surgery procedures that need to be performed to address other oral health issues.
- You will receive titanium screws inserted through your gum line and into the jawbone to act as the root for your new teeth.
- The dentist will attach the crowns to the titanium root to permanently replace missing or decaying teeth. Over time, the bone will graft to the dental implant , providing a strong, stable bond to support the grown that will placed on top of the implant post.
The entire process can take several months, but the result is a beautiful and natural smile.
