What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, which act as artificial roots for the new teeth. These implants provide a stable foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth, providing a seamless, natural appearance.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.
• Improved Oral Health: Implants help preserve jawbone density and prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth, which can occur with missing teeth.
• Enhanced Functionality: Dental implants restore your ability to chew and speak properly, improving your overall quality of life. Discover our Restorative Dentistry for more solutions.
• Convenience: Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place and do not require removal for cleaning.

The Dental Implant Process

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our dentist will evaluate your oral health to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. This may involve X-rays or CT scans to assess bone density and structure. Regular Cleanings & Exams are essential to keep your oral health in check.
2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The implant will need time to integrate with the bone, typically a few months.
3. Healing and Integration: As the implant integrates with the jawbone, a temporary restoration may be placed to maintain aesthetics during the healing period.
4. Final Restoration: Once the implant has fully integrated, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is fabricated and attached to the implant, completing the restoration.

Caring for Your Dental Implants

To ensure the longevity and functionality of your dental implants:

• Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily to keep your implants and surrounding teeth clean. Use interdental brushes to clean hard-to-reach areas.
• Regular Dental Visits: Schedule regular check-ups and cleanings at Art of Smile Care to monitor the health of your implants and overall oral health.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard or sticky foods that could damage your implants or restorations.
