Dental Implants Benefits

Dental implants can be a good choice for many patients with missing teeth. Dental implants allow new teeth to feel, look, and function naturally. Here are some key benefits of dental implants:

Comfortable – Dental implants act as tooth roots and stay firmly in place. This firm foundation makes them more comfortable than dentures and other replacement tooth options. Many patients report that implants feel similar to their natural teeth.

Functional – The stability of implants makes them effective for eating, talking, and cleaning. They function similarly to the teeth they are replacing. Less permanent options may interfere more with daily life.

Permanent – Dental implants are one of the most permanent tooth replacement options. They can last a lifetime with good care. Additionally, fixed replacement teeth on implants do not need to be removed every day for cleaning.

Natural-looking – Implant-supported replacement teeth look like natural teeth. The visible part of the dental implant is a cosmetic crown made from a composite material that is color-matched to the patient’s tooth enamel. It can be hard to tell the difference.

Permanent Teeth Replacement

Patients can enjoy a more comfortable and functional bite after losing teeth with dental implants. Implants act as artificial roots to anchor permanent teeth replacements. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots to support new replacement teeth. If you are missing one or more teeth or need to have one extracted, dental replacements can be a great option to restore your smile.

Dental implants can be beneficial for people who want a tooth replacement option that closely imitates natural teeth. They can be a very effective long-term solution for missing teeth. Dental implants are available at 75th Ave Dental Studio in Glendale and the surrounding area.

The Dental Implant Process

Dental implant surgery involves replacing natural tooth roots with artificial roots using metal, screw-like posts that hold an artificial tooth, such as a crown or bridge. The type of surgery performed will depend on the type of implant and the condition of the patient’s jawbone. This is discussed during the consultation appointment and the patient should have a good understanding of their procedure type prior to surgery.

  1. Damaged Tooth Removal – The extraction of a damaged tooth is the initial step toward rejuvenating your smile with the stability and aesthetics of dental implants.
  2. Bone Graft (When Needed) – In some cases, some extra steps may be necessary. For patients with weak jawbones, a bone graft may be needed to ensure sufficient strength. After the bone has healed, an abutment connects a crown or dentures to the dental implant.
  3. Implant Placement – During the procedure, an incision is made in the patient’s gum to expose the bone where the implant will be placed. We will then insert the implant and suture the gum around the implant post. In some cases, a temporary denture is used instead of replacement teeth.
  4. Bone Growth & Healing – Following the surgery, the bone needs to heal around the dental implant. This process can take several weeks or months.
  5. Fit the Permanent Replacement Teeth – Once the bone is sufficiently strong, a dentist can fit the permanent replacement teeth.
