What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into your jawbone to support replacement teeth. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options:

  • Look and feel like natural teeth
  • Designed to fuse with bone, becoming permanent
  • Allow you to speak without worry that teeth might slip
  • Eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures
  • Makes eating easier
  • Improve oral health
  • They are very durable and can last many years with proper care

The Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants is typically a multi-step process that occurs over several months:

  1. Initial evaluation and planning
  2. Placement of the implant into the jawbone
  3. The healing period as the implant integrates with the bone (osseointegration)
  4. Placement of the abutment on the implant
  5. Attaching the artificial tooth (crown) to the abutment

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Good candidates for dental implants:

  • Have healthy gums
  • Have adequate bone to support the implant
  • Are committed to good oral hygiene
  • Are in good overall health

Your dentist can evaluate if you're a good candidate for dental implants.

Caring for Your Dental Implants

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Care for implants just like you would natural teeth:

  • Brush twice a day
  • Floss daily
  • See your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings

Cost of Dental Implants

The cost of dental implants varies depending on factors such as:

  • Number of implants needed
  • Location of implants
  • Need for additional procedures like bone grafts
  • Your dentist's experience and location

While the initial cost is higher than other options, dental implants can be a cost-effective long-term solution. Dental implants are an excellent way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Talk to your dentist to see if dental implants are right for you.
