Dental implants are advanced tooth replacement options designed to mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. These implants consist of three main components: the implant itself, an abutment, and a prosthetic crown. The implant, typically made of titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for the artificial tooth.
These are the most common types of dental implants, surgically implanted directly into the jawbone. They offer strong support and are suitable for most candidates.
Placed on or above the jawbone, beneath the gum tissue, these implants are recommended for patients with insufficient natural bone height.
This innovative approach replaces an entire arch of teeth with just four strategically placed implants, offering a faster and cost-effective solution.
Dr. Dean recommends dental implants because of their various advantages, including:
Need a smile makeover? The first step is to contact Dr. Dean for a consultation. She will assess your smile and oral health, and discuss which procedures may be right for you.
After your appointment, Dr. Dean will develop a custom treatment plan that may involve cosmetic treatment, restorative care, and even orthodontics depending on your case.
Just come to WestSide Dental Studio for the procedures outlined in your treatment plan. By the end of your smile makeover, you’ll have a beautiful, healthy, and natural smile.
To determine if you're a suitable candidate for dental implants, Dr. Dean will consider the following:
Maintaining dental implants involves a routine similar to caring for natural teeth:
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Post-surgery, any pain is usually manageable with prescribed medications.
The timeline varies but can span several months, including healing and integration periods. The precise duration depends on individual factors.
While most individuals can, factors like overall health, jawbone density, and lifestyle choices influence candidacy.
Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional dentures. Unlike dentures that may slip or cause discomfort, implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, providing stability and preventing issues like speech impediments. Implants also promote better oral health by preserving jawbone density, a benefit not achieved by traditional dentures.
Dental implants offer a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits. If you meet the criteria and commit to proper care, these implants can be a life-changing investment for your oral health.
