What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is not a prosthetic tooth, but more specifically a prosthetic tooth root. A tiny titanium post is placed into the jaw where a tooth used to reside, and there, it bonds with the bone through a process called osseointegration. Then, it is topped with a crown, bridge, or denture. Because the new tooth is based below the gum line just like natural ones, to the casual observer, all they see is a complete and healthy smile.
The 4 Step Dental Implant Process
- Exam/Consultation: Would dental implants be a good fit for you? We’ll answer your questions and give you an exam at this appointment so you know exactly what to expect moving forward.
- Placement: Dr. Assadourian will place the implant(s) into your mouth, or you’ll be referred to one of our trusted specialists in the area.
- Healing/Abutments: Over the next three to six months, your mouth will heal, and your jaw will bond with the implants. At some point, we’ll attach small connectors called abutments to them.
- Final Restorations: Your new tooth or teeth will be attached to your implants using your abutments, and then your refreshed smile will be ready for the world.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The reason over 5 million implants are placed each year in the U.S. alone is because they offer several unique advantages compared to other treatments:
- Rock-solid stability
- Easier to bite and chew
- Clear, comfortable speech
- Perfectly lifelike appearance
- Easy maintenance (just brush & floss)
- Guaranteed to last for decades
- Able to prevent bone loss
- Creates a fuller, younger-looking face
Who Can Dental Implants Help?
Anyone with missing teeth can benefit from dental implants, whether their situation is due to neglect, an accident, or health issues. Dr. Smith can tailor the procedure based on each person’s needs so we can permanently close any gaps.
Missing One Tooth
An implant can be positioned between two healthy teeth and topped with a crown without disturbing them. The crown itself will be shaped and colored to match those around it, and the nearby teeth won’t need to be changed at all.
Missing Multiple Teeth
Rather than using your remaining teeth to support a bridge or partial denture, we can secure these prosthetics using just two dental implants. This not only makes them stronger, but it also allows us to preserve the rest of the teeth. Plus, this helps the prosthetics place less pressure on the sensitive gums.
Missing All Teeth
Six to eight implants will be positioned along the jaw, and a denture will simply snap onto them. Implant dentures are able to maintain their day-one fit for several years because the underlying implants actually keep the bone strong and healthy, so you won’t have to worry about your teeth starting to slip as time goes by.
Cost of Dental Implants
In order to be successful, each step of the dental implant process is individualized, which means the cost is always different. How many implants a patient needs, the type of restoration used, and whether or not any preparatory treatments are necessary can all factor into the final price. At your initial consultation, we’ll go over everything regarding cost and discuss how you can use insurance and financing to make your treatment easily affordable.
