What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts implanted into the jawbone, similar to the root of a natural tooth, that support your dental prosthesis. They restore your smile and allow you to live the way you want to – confidently eating, smiling, laughing, talking, and enjoying all everyday activities without worrying about your teeth. We at Janz Family Dental are specially trained for all kinds of cosmetic dentistry treatments, including dental implants and have in-depth knowledge to provide our patients with the correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

When Do We Need a Dental Implant?

There are several things that your dentist will consider when deciding on whether you need implants or crowns. These include:

• The severity of the decay of your teeth/the teeth missing
• Your budget
• The results you desire
• Your health

The Procedure

The procedure of installing dental implants is performed in stages over a few months. The steps involved in the process are:

• First, the dentist will examine your mouth and take x-rays of your head, jaw, and teeth to see if dental implants are right for you.
• Once it has been decided, the surgery will commence. The dentist or specialist will attach the implant to your jawbone, below the gum tissue. The tissue will then be stitched back into place and left to heal, a time during which the implant will bond with the bone. This takes several months. 
• Once the tissue is healed, the second phase of surgery can begin. Your dentist or specialist will attach an abutment to the implant, which is a post that connects the implant to the replacement tooth. In some cases, this might be done at the same time as the first stage.
• The artificial tooth is made and your dentist or specialist will attach it to the abutment. It might take a few appointments to get the proper fit. 
• If you’re replacing several/all of your teeth, a fixed bridge is anchored to the dental implants. 

What to Expect After a Dental Implant?

Your teeth require regular at-home oral care and routine dental visits. Dental implants are like your natural teeth and will require the same care and attention. In order to keep your implant clean and plaque-free, regular brushing and flossing are crucial. Our dentists will schedule periodic follow-up visits to monitor your implant, teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy.
