How Dental Implants Can Help
Dental implants are a seamlessly natural restoration, addressing the absence of teeth from root to crown. The implant attachment serves as a surrogate tooth root, anchoring the implant securely through the osseointegration process. During osseointegration, the implant fuses with the jawbone, providing crucial support for the restoration of the missing tooth. This innovative solution not only ensures a resilient foundation but also delivers a remarkably natural look and functionality.
For patients experiencing anxiety, we provide the option of IV sedation dentistry. This alleviates any potential pain or discomfort, ensuring a more comfortable experience throughout the entire dental implant procedure.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a multitude of health and aesthetic benefits that surpass those provided by non-implant restorations. These include:
- Improved physical appearance
- Ease of function & painless eating
- Boosts confidence
- Restored jawbone density
- Heightened comfort & convenience
- Restored bite force
- Lasts 20 years to a lifetime
Our Implant Solutions at Pristine Periodontics and Implants
Single-Tooth Replacement
Single-tooth dental implants have revolutionized restorative dentistry by providing patients with a natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. This procedure involves surgically implanting a biocompatible titanium post into the jawbone to mimic a natural tooth root. This provides a stable foundation for a custom-designed crown that restores the fit and function of your smile.
Our implant crowns are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. The biocompatible titanium integrates with your jawbone for secure support, allowing you to speak and eat with ease.
Multi-Tooth Replacement
Multi-tooth dental implants, or implant-supported bridges, provide a sophisticated solution for those contending with multiple missing teeth. Surgically placed titanium posts securely anchor into the jawbone, offering stable support for prosthetic teeth without relying on neighboring teeth, distinguishing them from traditional bridges.
Our implant-supported bridges not only restore the natural aesthetics and functionality of your smile but also offer customized treatment plans. Crafted to each patient’s unique needs, these prosthetics seamlessly blend with natural teeth, providing a subtle appearance.
Full-Arch Replacement
Full-arch replacements, also known as implant-supported dentures, offer a revolutionary solution for patients needing to replace an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. Multiple dental implants are strategically embedded into the jawbone to securely anchor and support a complete set of replacement teeth.
Unlike traditional removable dentures, our implant-supported dentures don’t require messy adhesives to stay in place. The implants integrate with the jawbone for superior stability and functionality, allowing patients to eat and speak with confidence. We customize the dentures to blend seamlessly with any remaining natural teeth. This innovative approach delivers a natural, comfortable, and long-lasting smile that greatly enhances both appearance and oral health.
Choosing the Right Dental Implant Solution for Your Dental Needs
Selecting the most suitable dental implant solution is a collaborative process between the patient and the dental care team.
- Comprehensive Assessment: A thorough evaluation of oral health, existing dental conditions, and treatment goals during consultations with a qualified dentist.
- Discussion of Options: A detailed discussion of the available dental implant solutions, considering the advantages, limitations, and expected outcomes of each.
- Treatment Plan Customization: Tailoring a treatment plan that aligns with the patient’s specific needs, preferences, and budget.
- Addressing Concerns: Open communication to address any questions, concerns, or uncertainties about the chosen dental implant solution.
- Lifestyle Considerations: Assess how daily routines and habits may influence the maintenance and longevity of the chosen implant solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the dental implant process?
The dental implant process can last anywhere from two to nine months. The procedures consist of several stages, with most of the time spent healing after your implant placement. The process includes two surgeries and, for some individuals, an additional supplemental procedure may be necessary.
How does the dental implant procedure work?
Dental implants are placed directly into the jawbone, replacing the roots of the missing teeth. The implant is made out of titanium, allowing it to fuse naturally with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
The artificial roots then allow your implant dentist or oral surgeon to secure your choice of restoration so they feel comfortable and blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. There are several dental implant options available to you, and each surgery will be performed differently following your personalized treatment plan.
Are there any side effects to getting a dental implant?
Since dental implants require surgery, there may be minor side effects, such as:
- Gum bleeding and swelling
- Facial swelling
- Pain at the implant site
These side effects are mild and improve quickly — in fact, most patients report little to no discomfort. If necessary, your implant dentist or oral surgeon will prescribe antibiotics or pain medications to provide relief.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for dental implants varies widely. Some dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost, while others may not cover implants at all. It’s advisable to check with your insurance provider and discuss financing options with your dental team.
