What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are used as replacements for the roots of a missing tooth. Once these implants are in place, a life-like crown is placed on top of the post, mimicking the look, feel, and function of a natural tooth.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
The dental implant process has four main steps:
- Our team will verify that implants are right for you and start planning the details of your procedure.
- Implant placement. The implant is inserted within the jaw with the use of local anesthesia and a gentle surgical technique. Sedation can also be used. Our in-house periodontist, Dr. Amir Hosseini, performs this part of the procedure.
- After the implant is inserted, you will need time for your jaw to heal around the metal post to secure it in place. This process can take up to several months.
- After the implant has integrated with the bone, you'll come back to our dental office and Dr. Pruski will design and place a life-like crown, bridge, or denture.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Some of the benefits of choosing dental implants as a tooth replacement option include the following:
- Dental implants can look, feel, and act just like your natural teeth.
- They don't require any additional maintenance; just treat and clean them the same as you do your other teeth.
- You don't have to worry about the implant restorations moving or slipping in your mouth.
- Dental implants will keep the jawbone from shrinking in the area where your teeth are missing.
- They'll also prevent any remaining teeth from shifting in your mouth.
- Dental implants have a success rate of over 95 percent after 10 years - much higher than other tooth replacement alternatives.
- With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Who Dental Implants Can Help
Depending on your unique case, Dr. Pruski and Dr. Hosseini may recommend one of three different avenues of dental implant treatment, which we’ve listed below. However, the best way to learn what your journey would look like is to schedule a consultation.
Missing One Tooth
A single implant is used to fill in any gaps or replace a missing tooth. This is typically the most cost-effective and best long-term investment when it comes to replacing a single tooth.
Missing Multiple Teeth
Dental implants can be used to secure a dental bridge within the mouth, eliminating the need to anchor a dental bridge to existing teeth. Not only does this method help preserve your smile better, but implant bridges are also known to last longer.
Missing All Teeth
Missing teeth can accelerate bone loss, which makes the jaws shrink and the dentures slip. When dental implants are secured in the jawbone to anchor a full denture, they help preserve the density of the bone and act as a steady foundation for the denture.
