Useful information on Dental Implants
A dental implant may be the best option for restoring your smile when you have lost or broken a tooth.
Am I a candidate for Dental Implants?
People of all ages can be a candidate for replacement of missing teeth with dental implants. Whether tooth loss due to decay, disease, injury or a medical condition, dental implants can be a great choice. If you can’t wear dentures comfortably you may be an ideal candidate for dental implants. There are new techniques available using advanced technology where implants can be placed and teeth secured the same day. For denture wearers imagine being able to eat anything you want without the roof of your mouth being covered so you can taste your food. This can be life changing for people who have lost all their teeth and struggle with dentures.
Implant patients must be in good health. Most patients are still candidates even with certain medical conditions but should consult with their dentist. Your dentist will take into consideration your medical and dental health to ensure implants are the right choice for you.
What is the implant procedure like?
Your dentist will review what type of dental implant treatment is right for you. A procedure will be done to place the implant in the jawbone. The jawbone will then be allowed to heal around the implant to hold it firmly in place. The dentist will then complete the process by securing a post onto the implant and place a crown or artificial tooth that resembles you natural teeth.
Does implant placement
take a long time?
Once the implant is placed, usually an hour or two, healing can begin. If you are a candidate, a temporary tooth or teeth can be placed during the healing phase creating a beautiful smile in one day. Once healed the permanent tooth replacement can usually be completed in two to three weeks. In other situations, depending on certain factors, healing can take three to six months but you will always have beautiful temporary teeth to smile with.
How do I care for my implant?
You care for your dental implant teeth just as you would your natural teeth. It is important to brush and floss as well as see your dentist every three to six months for dental cleanings to maintain your health. If there are any specific needs for maintaining your dental implants your dentist will let you know.
