What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are prosthetic teeth. They are highly versatile and can be used to replace individual teeth or multiple teeth depending on your needs. Implants consist of two main parts – an implant post which replaces your tooth root and an implant restoration which caps the post.
Dental Implant Placement
The first step in replacing your missing teeth with dental implants is your implant placement procedure. During this procedure our skilled implant dentist will work closely with you to ensure that your implant post is optimally placed in your mouth. By carefully placing your implant post, we can replace the missing tooth roots, providing your teeth, implants and smile with a stable foundation. The implant post mimics the functions of your natural teeth, stimulating your supporting bone to help it remain healthy and strong and promoting the long-term success of your implant as well as your oral health and function.
Healing Period
After your implant post is placed there will be a healing period to allow the post to integrate with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. Dr. Quang Luong will discuss the length of this healing period with you during your initial consultation. Once your implant post has integrated with your supporting bone, you will return to our practice to receive your implant restoration.
Dental Implant Restorations
The implant restoration caps the post to replace the visible portions of your missing teeth. Depending on your individual needs and how many teeth you are replacing, this restoration could be a dental crown, a dental bridge or a denture. Our implant dentist will discuss each of your options with you during your initial consultation to determine which type of restoration is right for your needs.
Once you have received your implants, you will need to care for them just like you would your natural teeth – with regular brushing and flossing as well as routine dental visits. Our dentist and team will discuss proper care of your implants and other oral health factors with you to help you learn the best way to keep your dental implants, teeth and smile healthy and beautiful.
Your dental implants look, feel and function just like your natural teeth, giving you back not only a beautiful smile but also working to promote your long-term oral health. Implants are designed to last a lifetime, and an investment in dental implants is an investment in lifelong oral health.
If you have missing teeth, you are a candidate for dental implants. During your initial consultation, our dentist will examine your teeth and supporting oral structures to determine if implants are right for you. If you have any pre-existing conditions, such as bone loss, tooth decay or gum disease, you will need to receive treatment for those conditions before you can receive a dental implant.
