Stop worrying about your teeth

Dental Implants are the strongest devices available to support replacement teeth – and even better, they allow these new teeth to feel, look and function naturally.

A Restorative Dental Implant is a replacement of artificial root of a tooth that is placed into your jaw by fusing to the bone to hold a replacement tooth or a bridge. Also, Dental Implants help our patients maintain the jawbone’s shape and density, such as the gum tissues, cheeks, and lips. As a result, Implants are often the best treatment for missing teeth and are the closest you can get to a natural healthy teeth. They will allow you to smile, eat, laugh, talk, and look completely natural with confidence. In conclusion, if you have missing teeth, you can qualify to get dental implants.

Healthy gums and enough bone to hold the implant is a must for any dental implant treatment also they must be committed to good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Regular smokers, also people suffering from uncontrolled disorders such as diabetes or heart disease or patients who have had radiation therapy to the head and neck area need to be evaluated on an regular basis.

Heavy smokers, people suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders — such as diabetes or heart disease — or patients who have had radiation therapy to the head/neck area need to be evaluated on an individual basis.

How do dental implants work?

Because implants fuse to your jawbone, they provide stable support for artificial teeth. Dentures and bridges mounted to implants won’t slip or shift in your mouth —  an especially important benefit when eating and speaking. This secure fit helps the dentures and bridges — as well as individual crowns placed over implants — feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures.

For some people, ordinary bridges and dentures are simply not comfortable or even possible, due to sore spots, poor ridges or gagging. In addition, ordinary bridges must be attached to teeth on either side of the space left by the missing tooth.

To receive implants, you need to have healthy gums and adequate bone to support the implant. You must also commit to keeping these structures healthy. Meticulous oral hygiene and regular dental visits are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.

Implants are usually more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, and most insurance carriers typically cover less than 10 percent of the fees.

The American Dental Association considers two types of implants to be safe. They are:

• Endosteal implants — these are surgically implanted directly into the jawbone. Once the surrounding gum tissue has healed, a second surgery is needed to connect a post to the original implant.
• Subperiosteal implants — these consist of a metal frame that is fitted onto the jawbone just below the gum tissue. As the gums heal, the frame becomes fixed to the jawbone.
