What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are like anchors for new teeth. Imagine them as tiny, strong screws placed in your jawbone. They’re super sturdy and act just like real tooth roots. Artificial teeth are then attached to these implants.
The result?
A smile that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth! Giving you the confidence to laugh, talk, and eat without a second thought.

Why Get Dental Implants?

Aesthetics
Without dental implants, the gap from missing teeth is noticeable. Your smile may look incomplete and aged, leading to an uneven look.
Functionality
When you have missing teeth, it’s not just about the gaps in your smile. It’s about maintaining the functionality of your mouth. Dental implants keep your bite strong. They stop adjacent teeth from shifting. This prevents misalignment and discomfort. It also ensures you can chew and speak properly.
Preserve Your Facial Features
Dental implants preserve the jawbone. They help keep your face’s natural structure. When bone loss occurs, it can lead to a sunken appearance, making you look older than you are. Implants help keep the jawbone intact. They maintain the shape of your face and prevent the collapse of facial structures.
Healthier Lifestyle
Dental implants can significantly contribute to a healthier lifestyle. They restore your ability to chew well. This lets you eat a wider variety of foods. It’s leading to better nutrition and health.
Speech
Dental implants can significantly improve your speech. Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures can cause slurring or lisping. This can make it hard to pronounce words clearly. Dental implants fill the gaps left by missing teeth. They provide a stable foundation, much like natural teeth. This stability helps you speak without your teeth shifting. With implants, you won’t have to worry about dentures slipping while talking. This leads to clearer and more confident speech.

How It Works
The Implant Placement Phase
Implants are placed precisely within the jawbone.
They mirror the exact position of the missing tooth’s root. This careful process ensures good alignment and integration. It lays the base for a stable restoration that will last.
Implants replicate the natural root structure. They provide a secure anchor for the prosthetic tooth. This promotes functionality and aesthetics like those of a natural tooth.
The Healing Phase
The implant will experience several months of osseointegration. It will seamlessly integrate with the jawbone, ensuring firm stability.
Healing time depends on your body. This can take 3 to 6 months.
The Impression-Taking Phase
This phase starts after the implant has fully integrated into your jawbone. This is important for achieving optimal results.
I will customize the connector post, abutment, and crown based on precise impressions.
This allows me to create the restoration. It helps restore function and also enhances the natural aesthetics of your smile.
The Final Installation Phase
The abutment and crown are attached to the implant. This marks the end of the procedure.

Are dental implants stronger than natural teeth?
Dental implants are incredibly strong and can function just like natural teeth. Made from durable materials and securely anchored in your jawbone, they provide exceptional biting and chewing power. While implants are highly resilient, they still require regular care and good oral hygiene habits to ensure they last for years to come.
Is it possible to receive dental implants if my teeth have been missing for a long time?
Yes, even if you’ve had missing teeth for many years, dental implants may still be an excellent option for you. Through advanced 3D imaging technology and detailed evaluations, we can accurately assess your bone structure and determine the best approach. Even in cases where other dentists have indicated insufficient bone, we often find solutions using specialized techniques. If implants aren’t the ideal choice, we’ll recommend alternative options to restore your smile.
