What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant looks like a small screw and is made out of titanium or another biocompatible substance. It’s inserted directly into the jawbone where a missing tooth used to be. It then fuses with the bone and is treated like part of your body. When that happens, it can be used to support a crown, a bridge, or dentures. In other words, the implant serves as the “root” upon which your new tooth or teeth will rest. Because dental implants replace the entire tooth, dentists often recommend them if you’re looking for the closest thing to a natural tooth.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
Anyone undergoing dental implant treatment can expect a four-step process: consultation with Dr. Scheddin, placement surgery, osseointegration and abutment, and finally restoration. Each of these steps is critical for your restored smile’s success. Every step of the way, our team can guide you and let you know what’s coming next, answering your questions either in the beginning or as we go through the process together.
Benefits of Dental Implants
No form of tooth replacement is perfect for everyone. We’ll help you explore the benefits of dental implants as well as other options before you have to make any decisions about how you want to repair your smile. That said, many dentists will recommend dental implants whenever they can because of how many advantages they have over other restorations. Below, you can learn more about some of the most outstanding benefits of dental implants and the impact they can have on your everyday life.
Who Dental Implants Can Help
Almost anyone can get dental implants. Even people who have suffered from bone loss may still be eligible after a bone graft. At our dental office, bone grafting can be performed at the time of any extractions that need to be performed to make room for the tooth. Once existing oral health issues have been taken care of, implant surgery can be planned. The implant procedure differs quite a bit depending on the number of teeth missing. You have a number of options for your tooth replacement with dental implants. The one that is best for you depends on how many teeth you are missing and where in the mouth they are located. Dental implants can support anywhere from a single crown to a full denture in the upper or lower jaw.
Our dental office can provide a wide array of cosmetic services, including veneers to fix chips, cracks, and gaps, whitening to eliminate stains, and SureSmile to straighten crooked teeth without braces. We can also remove minor flaws with bonding, create a more uniform smile with porcelain crowns, and even contour the gum line to create a picture-perfect smile. Plus, we can give you a temporary “Trial Smile” so you can see what your results will look like before you commit to treatment.
