Who Needs Dental Implants?

If you have a missing tooth or multiple missing teeth, dental implants may be the best course of treatment to improve your quality of life and your appearance.
 
Dental implants primarily address structural concerns in the mouth due to missing, broken, or rotted teeth. Unlike porcelain veneers that fit over filed-down teeth, dental implants replace the entire tooth structure from the root up. Made with titanium that fuses to the jaw bone, dental implants provide a secure foundation for your new teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Missing teeth from injury or illness can cause a host of health issues, not to mention aesthetic problems. For teeth that are missing or beyond repair, durable dental implants can offer total rejuvenation for your smile. Here are the benefits to investing in dental implants for a healthier you:

  • Improve health of adjacent bones and gums – Missing teeth can cause the surrounding bones and gums to deteriorate. Dental implants act like real teeth, stimulating blood flow.
  • Stabilize adjacent teeth – Dental implants fill in precarious gaps to help prevent your other teeth from moving into that space and negatively impacting your smile. 
  • Prevent jaw bone shrinking – Bone loss in the teeth can cause the jawbone to shrink, giving a sunken-in appearance that’s avoidable with implants.
  • Better quality of life – Not only do dental implants boost confidence with their natural look, they help improve quality of life by restoring the ability to chew and speak normally.
  • Beautiful smile for life – With proper care and oral hygiene, dental implants are strong enough to last you a lifetime. 

What to Expect

First, schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Dani B. At this appointment, he will perform an exam along with X-rays to assess your oral health and develop a personalized treatment plan. You can also address any questions or issues together, including financing options and timeline of treatment.

If you’re a candidate for dental implants and proceed with treatment, your next appointment will involve surgically placing the false titanium tooth roots into the jawbone. You’ll be given a local anesthetic to ease discomfort, but will remain awake throughout the procedure. Afterwards, any swelling, discomfort, or pain can be managed with medication and proper aftercare. 

Before Dr. Dani B. can then build bridges, crowns, and/or dentures onto the implant, the surgically placed metal must first fuse to your jawbone. This process is called osseointegration and usually takes 6-8 weeks. Accordingly, your next dental implant appointment will take place in around six weeks after placement. In the meantime, you’ll be given temporary stand-ins to preserve function and aesthetics if necessary. 
 
Once the osseointegration process is complete, Dr Dani B. will finish your new smile with surface-level work that may include dentures, crowns, and bridges. As long as you maintain them with regular brushing and flossing, dental implants will give you beautiful teeth and pristine oral health for the rest of your life.
