What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of metal that replace missing permanent teeth. The implants attach to crowns, bridges, or dentures to give you a full set of natural-looking teeth with minimal downtime. Your new teeth can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile and help you gain confidence.

Dental implants and the artificial teeth they attach to look, feel, and function just like beautiful natural teeth.

Are dental implants right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for dental implants, your provider discusses your oral health history and examines your teeth and gums. They also take dental X-rays and discuss your desired outcome before personalizing a cosmetic dental treatment that’s best for you.

What happens during dental implant placement?

During the placement of dental implants, your dentist numbs the treatment area and makes tiny incisions to implant titanium posts into your jawbone. After a period of healing, they can attach connector parts, called abutments, to the posts. Your provider digitally scans your mouth, which allows a dental lab to create custom-fitted crowns, bridges, or dentures just for you.

When your new teeth are ready, your dentist bonds them to the implants to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance for your teeth and smile. They also ensure a proper fit before sending you home.

How can I take good care of dental implants?

Take care of your dental implants and avoid damaging them. Don’t chew on ice, hard candy, or other hard objects. Brush your teeth after meals, floss every day, and see the experts at Design Dental Spa for routine dental cleanings and exams every six months. Call the office if your implants get damaged or you have questions or concerns about your oral health.
