Dental Implants
A widely favored choice for tooth replacement, a dental implant closely mimics the appearance and functionality of a natural tooth. Acquiring Dental implants includes a connecting abutment and a customized crown meticulously crafted to replicate the color and size of your natural teeth.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
If you meet the following criteria, you may be a good candidate for a dental implant:
- You have good overall and oral health.
- Your jawbone is strong enough to sustain the implant.
- Your gum tissues are healthy and free of periodontal disease.
Our dentist will be able to recommend this procedure and assess your qualifications by performing a physical examination of your smile and taking x-rays.
The first step of the treatment is numbing the target site with local anesthesia and drilling the screw into your jawbone; the abutment is placed afterward. Your mouth will need to heal for several months before the process can be completed. During this time, your bone and the screw will fuse, creating a very firm structure for your smile.
When you return, the crown, which is the only visible aspect of the implant, is applied. The tooth is polished and your dentist will check to see that everything looks good and that you’re comfortable before allowing you to leave.
After the Procedure
Dental implants, like natural teeth, require diligent at-home oral care and regular dental appointments to maintain function and prevent peri-implant disease. To maintain cleanliness and prevent plaque accumulation on your implant, regular brushing and flossing remain essential. Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to ensure the health of your implants, teeth, and gums.
What is the Price of a Dental Implant?
Several factors influence the cost of getting dental implants, including the details of your insurance coverage, the quantity of implants needed, potential additional procedures like bone grafts or extractions, and your preference for anesthesia.
