What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are screw-like tooth root replacements made of titanium that are surgically placed in the jawbone. They provide a secure foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth made to match your natural teeth for a seamless smile. Dental implants are the closest you'll ever have to healthy, natural teeth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Implants are the only restorations that genuinely take on the characteristics of natural tooth roots, which help prevent bone loss, enhancing your oral health. Once you complete your dental implant procedure, you won't have to worry about dentures shifting or slipping. You'll speak with confidence, chew with ease, and enjoy your favorite foods once again. Best of all, you'll maintain a natural, youthful facial structure and a beautiful, confident smile.
Implant surgery is a safe and highly predictable tooth replacement option, with a more than 95 percent success rate. With proper care, your implant restoration can last a lifetime!
What Are the Types of Implant Restorations?
Here's a look at the implant restorations offered by V Dental:
- Single Tooth Implants - A dental implant provides incredibly stable and secure support for a dental crown to restore a single missing tooth's natural form and function.
- Implant-Supported Bridge - Bridges are supported and secured to dental implants, restoring two or more adjacent teeth with unmatched strength, comfort, and stability.
- Implant-Supported Dentures - Implant-supported complete or partial dentures offer an excellent alternative to conventional removable dentures or partials for replacing several teeth or an entire arch of missing teeth.
- All-on-4s - All-on-4s rely on as few as four implants strategically placed in your jaw to hold a complete denture securely in place, providing the perfect solution for individuals with bone loss that would interfere with typical dental implant placement.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
To be a candidate for implant dentistry, you must have healthy gums and adequate bone density in the area to support the implant. However, if you've suffered bone loss, we may recommend a bone grafting procedure to ensure the implant's success. Keep in mind that you'll need to maintain meticulous oral hygiene practices for the long-term success of your implants.
What is the Implant Placement Procedure?
We'll place your titanium implant into your jawbone and give it a few months to fuse with your bone tissue in what's called osseointegration. After healing, we'll attach a connector known as an abutment and wait for the soft tissue to heal. The last step is securing your implant restoration, leaving you with a stunning smile. The implant process procedures may seem lengthy, but we're confident you'll find the results well worth the effort!
