Are you considering dental implants as a solution for missing teeth? At Endicott Dental, we're here to provide you with a detailed, easy-to-understand guide about dental implants. This guide will help you navigate the process, understand the benefits, and confidently decide.
What Are Dental Implants?
In order to replace teeth that are either missing or damaged, dental implants are a cutting-edge treatment. They are made up of two primary components: a titanium post and a titanium post that acts as a root substitute, which is implanted into the jawbone, and a crown, which is attached to the implant and serves as the visible part of the tooth. Implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full set of teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants are crafted to have the same appearance, sensation, and functionality as your natural teeth. They provide a cosmetic solution that can dramatically improve your smile and self-esteem.
- Durability: Implants are incredibly durable and, with proper care, can last a lifetime—the titanium post fuses with the jawbone in osseointegration, providing a stable and long-lasting foundation.
- Bone Preservation: Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, the jawbone is preserved and bone loss, which can occur, is prevented with the use of implants when teeth are missing.
- Improved Oral Health: Implants do not necessitate the reduction of other teeth, just like a bridge that is supported by teeth does. This leaves more of your teeth intact, improving long-term oral health.
- Convenience: Dental implants eliminate the need for sticky adhesives to keep dentures in place, as well as the inconvenience of having to remove dentures before they are removed.
The Dental Implant Process at Endicott Dental
- Consultation and Planning: The first step is a comprehensive consultation, where we discuss your dental history, take X-rays, and possibly conduct 3D imaging to assess the health of your jawbone and plan the implant placement.
- Implant Placement: The dental implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia (or sedation if preferred).In order to stabilize the jawbone, a titanium post is placed of the patient where your tooth is missing.
- Healing and Osseointegration: After the implant is placed, a healing period, which can last several months, is necessary. This allows the implant to integrate firmly with the bone.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: Once healing is complete,in order to secure the new tooth in place, an abutment is attached to the implant. After this, an impression of your bite is taken to create the crown, which will be attached to the abutment.
- Follow-Up Care: After the crown is placed, regular follow-up visits are important to ensure the health and functionality of the implant.
Caring for Your Dental Implants
Dental implants require similar care to natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and checkups. Implants, unlike natural teeth, are not prone to decay; but, if they are not properly cared for, the gums that surround them might become irritated or infected.
