Change Your Life With Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium screws implanted or embedded into bone to simulate the roots of lost teeth and provide us with something upon which to attach replacement ones.
Why Would I Need A Dental Implant?
There can be many reasons for needing dental implants, from cavities and gum disease, or failing bridges, to bone loss due to gum disease, teeth grinding or split teeth. Dental implants could be an ideal choice if multiple teeth have been lost due to decay, gum disease or neglect as removable options such as dentures aren't viable solutions.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures provide a temporary replacement solution for people missing all their teeth or who will soon lose them all. A denture is made out of plastic with teeth attached that covers the roof of your mouth, however it may cause discomfort and restrict which foods you can eat over time - this may result in jawbone atrophy as well.
What Are The Advantages Of A Dental Implant Compared To Other Solutions?
One of the primary advantages of dental implants is stimulating bone, helping prevent it from dissolving over time. They also allow you to floss and clean around them as with natural teeth; and reduce pressure or pain during chewing so you can enjoy eating anything you choose without fear.
Can I Just Take The Tooth Out And Leave It?
Though some may opt to remove one or more teeth at the expense of other, doing so is generally discouraged. Teeth naturally want to touch one another; when one tooth is extracted it could lead to other ones shifting or falling out, leading to problems like food impaction, decay, bone loss or bite problems.
What's The Process For Getting A Dental Implant?
Process for getting a dental implant typically takes seven to eight months. First, the tooth is extracted and we build bone where the root used to be; later we place an implant into this bone structure; finally after three more months you should have your permanent tooth in place!
How Long Do Implants Last?
Implants can last your lifetime with proper care. Studies show a 95% success rate after 10 years - meaning only 5% of people lose their implants after this timeframe. Just as with natural teeth, taking responsibility for brushing and flossing regularly will ensure its longevity.

Common Questions About Dental Implants
What are Dental Implants?
Play VideoDental implants are small titanium posts implanted into your jawbone by your dentist to act as the replacement roots for any missing teeth. Once placed, dental implants serve as a base for crowns, bridges, dentures or full arches of fixed replacement teeth that will replace missing ones.
Are Dental Implants Painful?
After receiving their implants, our patients typically only experience minor discomfort. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to ensure your mouth remains numb and pain-free; furthermore, we offer sedation to reduce any feelings of dental anxiety or stress that you might be feeling.
Can Dental Implants Come Loose?
Dental implants need healthy bone in order to fuse successfully, so we'll assess its condition prior to starting treatment. Once in place, they will integrate with the bone through a process called osseointegration; once they've fully fused there's little risk they'll come loose; although replacement teeth anchored onto them may need replacement periodically.
