Dental Implant FAQs
What Are Dental Implants?
Unlike most tooth replacement options, implants replace more than just the crown of your tooth, they also replace the root. The dental implant itself is a small titanium post that we surgically place into your jawbone. The titanium is biocompatible so it fuses with your bone to create a stable foundation for the artificial tooth that we attach on top. Depending on the number of teeth you’re missing and your preferences, we can top your implant with either a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
What Are The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are a popular tooth replacement method among patients and offer a wide range of benefits.
- Dental implants do not require special maintenance; you can brush and floss them just like your natural teeth.
- Dental implants are long-lasting when they are cared for properly.
- Dental implants look natural and function like your other teeth.
- Dental implants help preserve your facial shape by supporting your lips and cheeks.
- Dental implants help prevent jawbone loss by stimulating the bone where teeth are missing.
What Is The Dental Implant Process
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that go into your jawbone. They mimic a tooth’s root and are the foundation for the tooth restoration that goes on top. Another great benefit of this is that the post actually prevents bone loss in the jaw that would otherwise occur. Once the post is secured, we can top off your dental implant with a crown, bridge, or denture depending on your smile’s unique needs. Our natural-looking tooth restorations are fully customized to blend in seamlessly with your other teeth, so most people won’t even be able to tell the difference — including you! It will also help fill out your lips and cheeks, instantly nixing that sunken look and giving you a more youthful appearance. It’s an effective procedure that we can do all under one roof, so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of being referred out. If you don’t feel your age, don’t settle for looking like it. An implant could be the answer for you!
Am I a Good Candidate for Implants?
If you’re missing teeth, chances are that you’re a good candidate for implants. However, there are certain dental issues our team will take into consideration before recommending implants. Candidates must have healthy gums and enough bone to support the implant. If you have gum disease, we can treat your gums to get them in great shape for implants. If you suffer from bone loss, we may be able to perform a bone graft to strengthen your jawbone for implant placement.

Caring for Your Dental Implants
After the initial procedure, it’s recommended to brush the implant area with caution for the first couple of weeks as it may be sensitive. Once you’re all healed up, dental implants don’t require any extra care other than the normally dentist-recommended oral health regimen. As long as you brush twice a day for two minutes each time and floss at least once per day, your implants could last you a lifetime. Learn more about post-op care for dental implants.
