What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a preferred, natural-looking, and comfortable solution for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants are surgically placed below the gumline and fused to the jawbone to offer a natural feeling and stable solution to completing your smile. These implants are done over a series of appointments and are preferred by most patients over crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Should I Get Dental Implants?
To receive dental implants, the patient must have healthy gums and adequate bone to secure the implant. Before any procedure begins, your dentist will perform a thorough examination to determine if you are a good fit for implant solutions. These solutions may include either individual tooth implants or denture implants, depending on your case.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
After your dentist has determined that you are a candidate for an implant solution, the process of placing the implant begins! The first step in placing a dental implant is to anchor a post to the jawbone. After the anchor is secure and your dentist has determined that it is healed enough, an artificial tooth will be installed. This tooth will be virtually indistinguishable from a natural tooth aesthetically and functionally. Depending on the case, this process and full healing can take between 3-9 months.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
A dental implant is one of the most common procedures we perform to replace missing teeth. Over the years, our dental professionals have assisted hundreds of patients. There are numerous benefits to choosing a dental implant over another form of tooth replacement, including
Your tooth’s root is responsible for helping to stimulate jawbone growth. When you lose a tooth, that area of the jawbone will begin to subside. A dental implant will help maintain jawbone growth.
When you have a missing tooth, you may find it difficult to eat or drink, especially if it is one of your forward-facing teeth. Dental implants act and feel like your natural teeth, so you can comfortably eat and drink again.
At Carmel River Dentistry, our dental implants look and feel like your natural tooth. We can color-match the new implant to match your existing tooth for stunning results.
