What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is used to replace the root structure of a lost tooth. After one is placed into the jaw via a minor surgery, a variety of restorations can be attached to it to replace any number of missing teeth.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Consultation: The first step of your journey will be an in-depth consultation with Dr. Patel. He’ll examine your mouth, take any necessary X-rays, and create a customized treatment plan that he’ll walk you through. We’ll also leave ample time for you to ask any questions and get the answers you need to feel confident moving forward.
- Placement: We partner with local specialists for the dental implant placement surgery. Our team will connect you and help schedule your appointment, ensuring smooth communication between offices.
- Healing: For the following three to six months after your surgery, your implants will fuse with your jawbone. This process is called osseointegration and is crucial to the long-term success of your implants.
- Restoration: We’ll attach small, metal connector pieces called abutments to your dental implants. These will anchor your permanent dental crown, bridge, or denture within your mouth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dentists all over the world agree that dental implants are the most complete tooth replacement solution available today. Not only do they create an extremely strong foundation for the new teeth, but they also help prevent the bone loss that is so common after tooth loss. They also last for an extremely long time—up to 30 years with the proper maintenance (which only involves consistent brushing, flossing, and dental checkups).
Who Can Dental Implants Help?
Dental implants can reliably replace a single tooth, an entire mouthful, and everything in between. The best way to learn what your unique tooth loss journey will look like is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Patel and our friendly team at Dream Dental.
Missing One Tooth
A single missing tooth can be replaced with one dental implant that’s placed below the gumline and into the jawbone. Once the implant has fused with the bone, we can replace the visible tooth structure by attaching a free-standing dental crown to the implant.
Missing Multiple Teeth
Instead of needing to alter the integrity of your healthy, existing teeth to support a traditional bridge, we can place two dental implants at either side of the gap in your arch. These will act as stable, long-lasting anchors for your bridge.
Missing All Teeth
Traditional dentures can be enhanced by the support and stability of dental implants. Four to eight dental implants will be strategically placed throughout your arch. Once they have fused with the bone, a denture can be attached to them to eliminate any slipping or shifting that occurs with traditional dentures.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
Every dental implant procedure that we do at Dream Dental is customized to meet our individual patients’ needs, which is why the only way we’re able to determine the cost of restoring your smile is to first conduct an examination. Based on Dr. Patel’s findings, our team can walk you through how many implants you’ll require, what type of restoration you’ll need, and discuss any financing and insurance information with you.
