Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone beneath the gums. These posts act as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable and long-lasting solution.
The complete dental implant system consists of three main components:
Research shows that dental implants have a success rate of over 95% when placed by qualified professionals, according to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
Determining whether dental implants are right for you involves several important factors. Most adults in good general and oral health can qualify for dental implant treatment, but a thorough evaluation is necessary.
Ideal candidates typically have:
If you have experienced bone loss in your jaw due to missing teeth, you may still be eligible for dental implants after a bone grafting procedure. This additional step helps rebuild the jawbone to create a solid foundation for the implant.
Age itself is rarely a limiting factor for dental implants. What matters more is your oral and overall health status, not your birth date.
The dental implant journey involves several steps spread over a few months, ensuring optimal healing and integration for long-term success.
Your implant journey begins with a comprehensive examination including digital X-rays and possibly 3D imaging. We’ll evaluate your oral health, bone structure, and discuss your goals to create a customized treatment plan.
Some patients require preliminary treatments such as tooth extractions, bone grafting, or gum disease treatment before implant placement. These procedures ensure your mouth is ready for successful implant integration.
During this outpatient procedure, the titanium implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone. Most patients report less discomfort than expected, and we provide appropriate pain management options.
The healing process typically takes 3-6 months as the implant fuses with your jawbone. During this time, we may provide a temporary restoration so you’re never without teeth.
Once healing is complete, we’ll attach the abutment and custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile restoration.
When properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime, unlike bridges or dentures that typically need replacement every 5-10 years
Implants help preserve your natural bone structure by stimulating bone growth, preventing bone loss and facial sagging often associated with missing teeth
Additional benefits include: natural appearance and function, no slipping or clicking sounds when eating or speaking, no need for messy adhesives, no dietary restrictions, no impact on adjacent healthy teeth, and improved comfort and confidence
