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

Benefits of Dental Implants

Are you on the fence about getting dental implants? We invite you to consider the following benefits that they offer:

 Replication of natural teeth: Dental implants are the closest you can get to match the functioning and appearance of natural teeth.

 Prevention of bone loss: Losing teeth means losing bone mass in your jaw. Dental implants provide your jaw with tooth-jaw stimulation, which enables it to maintain its bone mass.

 Restoration of bite force: We place dental implants in your jaw with a titanium post, which provides the same bite force as your natural teeth.

 Maintenance of natural face structure: Losing teeth can change your face shape and make you appear older. Dental implants will prevent this change and allow you to maintain your natural facial structure.

 Convenience: With dental implants, you don't require any special products to care for them. You can just carry on brushing and flossing them like your regular teeth.

 No shifting: Unlike with dentures, you don't have to worry about your dental implants shifting or falling out as you chew, talk, or laugh.

 Permanent solution: Dental implants are the only permanent solution to tooth loss. There is a long-term solution to tooth loss and often do not present more issues.

The Procedure

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

• First, Dr Janz 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. Dr Janz 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. Dr Janz 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 Dr Janz will attach it to the abutment. It might take a few appointments to get the proper fit.
• A fixed bridge is anchored to the dental implants if you’re replacing several/all your teeth.

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.
