Dental implants are one of the best restorative options for replacing missing teeth. Dentistry At Its Finest provides multiple forms of quality dental implants. Dr. Michael Ayzin and our staff are experienced restorative dentists that can give you the smile you want. Are dental implants right for you?
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the only option for missing teeth that actually replace the tooth root. A titanium post is implanted into the jaw, fusing with the bone. A special piece called an abutment is then placed on top. This connects the implant to your actual restoration, be it a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide a whole host of benefits that other restorative options may not. As said before, they’re the only option that actually replaces the tooth root. This helps prevent any further bone loss in the jaw where the missing tooth was. It also prevents the increased likelihood of gum disease and decay in the same area. They can decrease the sagging facial appearance often seen in people with missing teeth.
Having the implant as a base also makes the restoration very stable. You don’t have to worry about issues with chewing or speaking, as the implant feels like a natural tooth. If you have dentures, you don’t really have issues with slippage with implant-supported dentures. No adhesive is required, as they all attach to the implants. Dental implants are considered a lifelong, permanent restorative solution.
What Dental Implants Does Dentistry At Its Finest Offer?
Dentistry At Its Finest offers two types of dental implants for our patients: same-day dental implants and All-on-Four dental implants.
Same-Day Dental Implants
With same-day dental implants, a single tooth can be replaced in a day. Multiple missing teeth can be replaced with dental bridges supported by implants. Waiting for a finished implant can be a hassle, so same-day dental implants let you have a finished smile right away.
All-on-Four Dental Implants
All-on-Four dental implants are for when you’re missing an entire arch of teeth. As few as four implants are placed in the jaw. After a healing process of three to six weeks, for the implant posts to fuse with the jawbone, implant-supported dentures are used to top the posts. This gives you a full mouth of new teeth, on just a few implants! All-on-Four provides the stability of implant-supported dentures, so you don’t have to worry about the pitfalls of removable ones.
Dental Implant Care
Another convenient thing about dental implants is that you don’t have to do any special care for them. Since they’re a full replacement for normal teeth, you can simply brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Using mouthwash can help with bacteria forming. The only time you’ll have to limit food is with hard or sticky foods immediately following your implant procedure.
