Dental Implants
Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants
Are you missing one or more of your teeth? You are not alone. Whether you are missing one tooth or several, dental implants are one of the most effective and natural-feeling solutions available today. At the dental office of Kiran Chaudhri, DMD, we are here to guide you through the process and help you reclaim a confident, functional smile.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a permanent foundation for a replacement tooth by acting as an artificial tooth root that is made of titanium. Unlike dentures or bridges, a dental implant surgeon or oral surgeon surgically places the implant into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time through a process known as osseointegration. Ossseointegration creates a stable and durable base for the attachment of a dental crown (a custom-made tooth replacement), making the implant look, feel, and function like a natural tooth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a host of benefits that make them one of the most popular and effective solutions for tooth replacement:
- Long-Term Dental Solution: Implants are designed to last a lifetime, unlike dental bridges or dentures that may need frequent replacements.
- Naturally Functional: Enjoy the foods you love without worrying about slipping dentures or weak chewing ability. Implants restore nearly full chewing function.
- Enhanced Appearance: Implants look and function like natural teeth, filling in gaps perfectly and improving your smile.
- Prevention of Jawbone Loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone shrinkage that often occurs with other solutions. This helps maintain your facial structure.
- Preserve Adjacent Teeth: Unlike dental bridges, implants preserving their natural integrity and do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.
- Low Maintenance: Caring for dental implants is as simple as maintaining your natural teeth. Brush, floss, and visit your dentist regularly.
Candidates for Implants
If you are missing one or multiple teeth and looking for a lasting and permanent solution, dental implants may be the right treatment for your smile. However, certain factors will determine your eligibility, including:
- General Health: You should be in good overall health with no conditions that could interfere with healing.
- Jawbone Density: Implants require a sufficient amount of healthy bone for support. If you don’t currently meet this requirement, procedures like bone grafting may be an option.
- Oral Hygiene: Maintaining proper daily oral hygiene is essential for the success of your implants.
- Commitment to Long-Term Care: You must care for implants as you would natural teeth, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits.
