What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, similar in shape to screws, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, they fuse with the jawbone to support replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. This process, known as osseointegration, ensures that the implants offer a permanent and stable foundation, mimicking the function of natural tooth roots. Dental implants are designed to blend in with your other teeth, offering both comfort and aesthetics.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Improved Appearance
Our dental implants in Forney look and feel like your natural teeth. Because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become a permanent part of your smile, restoring your confidence and enhancing facial structure.
Enhanced Functionality
Unlike other dental restoration options, implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile easily. They eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures and provide the same strength and stability as natural teeth.
Longevity and Durability
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. This makes them a more durable solution than traditional bridges or dentures, which may need replacing every 5-10 years.
Preserved Oral Health
Implants help maintain the healthy structure of remaining teeth by preventing them from shifting. They also help preserve jawbone density, preventing bone loss that can occur after losing teeth.
Comfort and Convenience
Dental implants eliminate the inconvenience of removable dentures. There’s no need for messy adhesives to keep dentures in place, and their permanence adds to overall comfort and convenience.
The Dental Implant Process
At TOOTH, we follow a comprehensive and patient-centric approach to dental implants, ensuring each step is tailored to your needs. The process typically involves the following stages:
Initial Consultation
Our dental team will thoroughly examine your oral health, utilizing state-of-the-art imaging technology to evaluate your jawbone structure and decide if dental implants are the best option for you.
Treatment Planning
A personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your unique needs and goals. We will discuss the number of implants required and the type of restoration needed and address any questions or concerns you may have.
Implant Placement
Dr. Ahmed will surgically position the implants into your jawbone during this stage. This procedure is performed precisely in our modern office, ensuring your comfort and safety.
Healing and Integration
After implant placement, a healing period allows the implants to integrate with the jawbone. This period is crucial for creating the strong base required for your new teeth. We will provide guidelines on how to best care for your dental health during this time.
Abutment Placement and Restoration
Once the implants have successfully bonded to the jawbone, abutments are attached to support the new teeth. Following this, custom-made restorations such as crowns or bridges are attached, completing the process of restoring your smile.
