What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium posts that are precisely placed into the jawbone. They mimic a natural tooth root and provide a base for natural-looking tooth restorations to attach to. Once the implants are healed with the jawbone, we can top off your dental implant with a crown, bridge, or denture depending on your unique needs and smile goals. Dental implants will help fill out your lips and cheeks as well as prevent bone loss in the jaw and keep existing teeth from moving into the empty space.

Am I a Good Candidate for Implants?

Most people are great candidates for dental implants. Those who have been dealing with tooth loss for an extended period of time may have jawbone deterioration. If this is the case, we’ll require a bone graft before we proceed with dental implant placement. To see if dental implants are right for you, please contact us to book your in-person exam and consultation!

How Do I Care for My Dental Implants?

After the initial implant placement, we advise gently cleaning the area while your mouth heals. Once the implants fuse with the bone, your implants won’t require any additional care other than maintaining your regular at-home oral hygiene regimen. As long as you brush twice a day, floss, and attend biannual dental visits, your implants can last a lifetime!

Are There Any Cons to Dental Implants?

While dental implants offer many benefits, there are a few potential downsides to consider. The process can take several months since the implant needs time to fuse with the jawbone. Dental implants also typically cost more upfront than other tooth replacement options. However, for most patients, the long-term benefits often outweigh these potential cons.

How Long do Dental Implants Last?

With good oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and healthy gums, dental implants will often last for decades. Implants are designed to be a long-term solution to missing teeth with many lasting over 20 years, and sometimes even a lifetime!
