Dental Implants
Dental implants are state-of-the-art tooth replacement solutions that offer a permanent and natural-looking option for individuals who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or other dental issues. At Dr. Tooth Advanced Dental Care, we specialize in providing high-quality dental implant services to help our patients restore their smiles and regain full oral function.
A dental implant consists of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for the tooth root. This post integrates with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for the attachment of a lifelike dental crown, bridge, or denture.
One of the key benefits of dental implants is their ability to mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, which sit on the gums or rely on adjacent teeth for support, dental implants are anchored securely in the jawbone, offering unmatched stability and durability.
The dental implant process typically involves several stages:
Consultation and Treatment Planning: During your initial consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Implant Placement: The dental implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. In some cases, a temporary restoration may be placed while the implant integrates with the bone.
Osseointegration: Over the following weeks to months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone tissue through osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation for the final restoration.
Restoration Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, restoring the appearance and function of the missing tooth or teeth.
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and cost-effective solution for tooth replacement. Routine brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are essential for ensuring the long-term success of your dental implants.
