At Parmer Oaks Dental, we understand the importance of a complete and healthy smile. Dental implants are a premier solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a natural look and feel. Our experienced team provides high-quality dental implants to restore function and aesthetics to your smile, helping you regain confidence and improve your oral health.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer numerous advantages, making them an excellent choice for tooth replacement:
- Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
- Durability: Dental implants are a long-lasting solution, with proper care, they can last a lifetime.
- Improved Oral Health: Implants help maintain the integrity of your jawbone and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth.
- Functionality: Implants restore full chewing and speaking capabilities, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.
- Convenience: Unlike dentures, implants are permanently fixed in place and do not require special maintenance beyond regular oral hygiene.
Our Dental Implant Procedure
At Parmer Oaks Dental, we ensure that your dental implant procedure is comfortable and efficient. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation
Our dentist will perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and jawbone to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. We will discuss the procedure, answer any questions, and create a personalized treatment plan.
Implant Placement
The dental implant procedure involves several steps:
- Preparation: The area where the implant will be placed is prepared. This may involve extracting a damaged tooth if necessary.
- Placement: A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone. This post serves as the root for the new tooth.
- Healing: The implant needs time to integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, which typically takes a few months.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: Once the implant has fused with the bone, an abutment is attached to the post, and a custom crown is placed on top to complete the restoration.
Aftercare
We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and longevity of your dental implants. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to maintaining your implants.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants
Are dental implants right for me?
Dental implants are an excellent option for individuals with one or more missing teeth who have sufficient jawbone density and healthy gums. Our dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether implants are the best solution for you.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and overall health.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The dental implant procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the surgery. Some post-operative discomfort is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoid using tobacco products and maintain a healthy diet to support oral health.
What are the risks associated with dental implants?
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks involved, such as infection, implant failure, or damage to surrounding structures. However, these risks are minimal when the procedure is performed by an experienced dental professional.
Can anyone get dental implants?
Most people who are in good general and oral health are suitable candidates for dental implants. However, certain conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, severe gum disease, or insufficient jawbone density may affect eligibility. Our dentist will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if implants are right for you.
