Patients no longer have to deal with temporary solutions like dentures, bridges, or partials. Dental implants are the new leading standard in tooth replacement options. They act and feel just like real teeth with an average lifespan of 20+ years.
Most traditional replacement solutions - like bridges or dentures - need to be replaced every 7 to 10 years. Implants offer a long term solution for patients who want the best quality of life possible.
So, how do they work?
Dental implant consists of three parts - the implant, the abutment, & the crown. The implant is made of medical grade titanium. This part is surgically placed into the patient’s jaw bone and left to heal for 4-6 months afterwards.
This implant piece acts as the foundation for the rest of the tooth. Once the bone around the site has healed, the abutment and crown are placed on top of the implant. The end result is a beautiful, natural-looking new tooth!
They are indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Dental implants are the best way of replacing teeth because they utilize titanium. Titanium implants cannot decay and they fuse with the patient's bone. Once an implant is placed, the patient's bone "takes" the placement biologically, and it becomes a lifelong lasting root for a crown, bridge, or full arch. Another benefit of implants is that they preserve the jaw bone & prevent it from receding.
As the patient, you will always have the final say on what dental procedure you want to be done. While regular dentures may be more inexpensive upfront, they are not as sustainable as dental implants long-term. Some denture patients report that their new teeth can cause pain & discomfort. Additionally, regular dentures do not preserve the jaw bone as implants do.
No! With the miracle of modern medicine, we can put you under during the operation to ensure that pain is not felt. The idea of getting implants is scary to many individuals because anxiety of perceived pain. Any pain you would feel after the operation can be significantly reduced, if not fully mitigated with a doctor's prescription of painkillers.
