What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are specialized restorations that are used for a few reasons. A dental implant can be a substitute for a single missing tooth, or if several teeth are missing, multiple implants can be placed to replace those teeth. Implants are made of titanium and are surgically placed into the bone underneath the gums. The titanium material is important, as it is biocompatible with the patient’s body and readily accepted as its own. 

The implant is then restored with a dental crown or bridge, which will replace the appearance of the missing teeth. Implants are important to maintain bone structure and keep the surrounding teeth from shifting out of place after a tooth has gone missing from the patient’s smile.

Dental implants can also be placed and used in conjunction with dentures. Dentures can snap into place with the dental implants, eliminating the need for dental adhesives such as pastes and gels that often don’t suffice. Many patients have floating dentures due to the lack of an adequate ridge of gum and bone, so dental implants can be used to secure the dentures in their proper place and reduce irritation, movement, and an uncomfortable fit. You will be able to talk, laugh, and enjoy your favorite foods without difficulty or fear of your teeth slipping.

How To Take Care Of A Lost Tooth Through Dental Implants

Benefits Of Dental Implants

Dental implants have many benefits. They do not require that patients grind down completely healthy adjacent teeth, and they can help restore and stimulate bone growth underneath the gums. This is important to eliminate that “sunken-in” appearance that many denture wearers experience. Dental implants are permanent, long-lasting restorations that can improve a patient’s ability to bite, chew, and talk more than any other cosmetic restoration. They require no special care or attention and are treated just like your natural teeth.

Evaluating Your Candidacy For Dental Implants

Determining your suitability for dental implants is a critical step in your dental health journey at Innovative Dental. Ideal candidates for this procedure are individuals who have lost one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or periodontal disease and have sufficient bone density to support the implant. Good overall health is also essential, as it promotes successful healing and integration of the implant with the jawbone. 

During your consultation, our team will conduct a thorough examination, including advanced imaging techniques, to assess the health of your gums and jawbone. We also discuss your medical history and lifestyle factors that can influence the success of the implant, such as smoking or certain chronic conditions. Understanding that each patient’s situation is unique, we take the time to consider all aspects of your oral health and personal circumstances, ensuring that the recommendation for dental implants is tailored specifically to you and setting the foundation for a successful and long-lasting outcome.
