Dental Implants: A Natural Solution to Tooth Loss
Dental implants are the ideal solution for replacing missing teeth with ones that look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. With implants, you can enjoy a full range of activities, from eating your favorite foods to smiling with confidence. Implants help restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile while preserving the natural contours of your face. The procedure involves placing small titanium posts into the jawbone, which bond with the bone over time, creating a solid foundation for artificial teeth. Implants also help prevent bone deterioration that can occur when teeth are lost, making them an effective long-term solution.
Why Choose Dental Implants? Dental implants are transforming lives by restoring comfort and confidence in eating, speaking, and smiling. If you're missing one or more teeth, dental implants could be the key to rediscovering your quality of life.
Evaluation for Dental Implants If you’re considering dental implants, we begin with a thorough dental and health evaluation. This includes a radiographic examination to assess the health of your jawbone and determine if implants are right for you. Dr. Nazanin, along with any specialists that may be referred, will carefully review your individual needs, and answer any questions you may have. We’re here to ensure the success of your treatment and make your experience as smooth as possible.
The Dental Implant Process Dental implants are small titanium anchors that replace the roots of missing teeth. During the procedure, these anchors are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth.
The process typically involves two stages:
-
Placement of the Implants: During the first stage, dental implants are placed into your jawbone. After surgery, the implants will need three to six months to bond with the bone. During this healing period, temporary dentures can be worn, and a soft diet is recommended. Meanwhile, your restorative dentist will design your final bridgework or denture, ensuring it fits comfortably and restores function and aesthetics.
-
Final Restoration: Once the implants have fully bonded with the jawbone, the next stage begins. The implants are uncovered, and small healing collars are attached. Dr. Nazanin will then take impressions and place the necessary posts or attachments to secure your new teeth. The replacement teeth are custom-made to match the natural appearance of your smile.
This process typically takes six to eight months, with most patients experiencing minimal disruption to their daily lives.
Dental implants offer a permanent solution that provides a natural, secure, and comfortable replacement for missing teeth. If you’re ready to improve your smile and restore your dental health, contact us to learn more about the benefits of dental implants.
