What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they fuse with the bone, providing a stable foundation for artificial teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, making them a preferred option for maintaining oral health and function.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing dental implants offers numerous benefits. First and foremost, implants function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. They help preserve your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth. Additionally, implants are durable and designed to last for many years, providing a long-term solution that eliminates the need for frequent adjustments or replacements. By opting for dental implants, you also protect your remaining teeth from shifting, which helps maintain the alignment and health of your entire mouth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Dental Implants
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most people with missing teeth are candidates for dental implants, especially if they have good general health and sufficient bone density. A consultation with a member of our team will help you determine if implants are the right option for you.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The entire process typically takes several months, including the healing period after the implant is placed. However, this timeline can vary depending on your specific case and any additional procedures required.
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort can be expected during the recovery period, but it is generally manageable with over-the-counter pain medications.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintaining your implants and preventing gum disease.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a high success rate, typically around 95% when placed by an experienced dentist and when proper oral care is maintained.
