Keep reading to get answers to frequently asked questions about dental implants.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an aesthetic alternative to dental bridges and dentures. A dental implant is a small anchor made of titanium that is placed in the jawbone to take the place of your missing tooth root. After the jawbone has bonded to the implant, a replacement tooth is secured to the top of the dental implant.

Why Do People Choose Implants?

Dental implants will close the gaps in your smile and improve your appearance. They will restore your ability to chew food and improve your clarity of speech. They will fill out a face that otherwise would look sunken because of missing teeth. Dental implants will also prevent jawbone loss, stimulate bone growth, and prevent your existing teeth from shifting out of place.

What Will Happen Without Treatment?

Losing your teeth will affect your appearance and change the shape of your face, causing you to look prematurely aged. The absence of one or more teeth can also have negative effects on your oral health including shifting of teeth and changes in the jaw joint. Without treatment, the healthy bone will begin to deteriorate from lack of stimulation.

Are Dental Implants Right For You?

You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you have healthy gums and adequate bone to support implants. The best candidates for implants have healthy gums that are free of gum disease. You must be committed to thorough oral hygiene to keep your smile healthy and schedule regular dental visits. If you want to restore your smile, ask your dentist if dental implants are an option for you.

How Do I Care For Dental Implants?

Good dental hygiene must take place before, during, and after placement of dental implants to keep them healthy. Implants are like your existing teeth and will require conscientious at-home oral care and regular visits to the dentist. In order to keep your new dental implants plaque-free, brushing and flossing still apply.
