Having teeth is a basic human need. We all know the feeling of embarrassment when we cannot smile because of missing or damaged teeth. It affects how we feel about ourselves, but it also diminishes our ability to eat the foods we love and speak with confidence. Our dental implants solutions in Draper are among the most popular and effective ways to replace missing or damaged teeth.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile and are also a cosmetic procedure that is important for your oral health. They include a titanium post that we surgically place into the jawbone. This post serves as the new artificial tooth root. Once the implant has healed, a dental crown is attached to the top of the implant, giving you a natural-looking and functioning tooth.
Implants are made of biocompatible metal that is accepted by the body. Dental implants are inserted into the jawbone and fuse with the bone over time, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.
What is the Dental Implant Process?
The dental implant process begins with a consultation with our dentists to see if you are a candidate for dental implants. Some patients who suffer from various dental or overall health problems may not be great candidates for implants. It would be best to have sufficient jawbone to support the implants. If you have suffered from jawbone loss or don’t have enough jawbone, we can perform jawbone grafts in some cases to add supporting material.
If we determine implants are right for you, we will prepare the implant site. Once you are relaxed and ready, we will administer an anesthetic to ensure maximum comfort and place the implant.
Your mouth and jawbone will require some time to heal. Once you are ready for the final step, you will return to our office to place your dental crown.
We want to work with you every step of the way to ensure the implants are both comfortable and functional. Stay in touch with us after the procedure, and let us know how you feel, especially if anything about the implant doesn’t seem right.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
There are many dental implant benefits, including:
- Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth.
- Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth.
- Implants do not require special care. You can brush and floss them just like your natural teeth.
- Dental implants improve your overall oral health.
- Dental implants prevent jawbone degeneration.
- Dental implants are as easy to clean and floss around as natural teeth.
