Dental Implants
at Care N Cure Dental Clinic
What are dental implants, and are they right for me?
- Dental implants are a state-of-the-art solution for replacing missing teeth, providing a durable and natural-looking alternative to dentures or bridges.
- An implant consists of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth or a bridge.
- Over time, the post fuses with the bone, ensuring a secure and stable fit.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Natural Appearance: Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
- Improved Oral Health: Implants help preserve your natural tooth structure and jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
- Convenience: Unlike removable dentures, implants are permanent and do not require adhesives.
- Enhanced Comfort: Implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants may be an ideal option if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth.
- Have a fully developed jawbone with sufficient bone density.
- Do not have any health conditions that might impede bone healing.
- Are unable or unwilling to wear dentures.
- Want to improve your speech, comfort, and self-confidence.
- Are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
The Implant Process
- Initial Consultation: During your first visit, our dental specialists will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
- Treatment Planning: We use advanced imaging techniques to plan the precise placement of the implant.
- Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
- Healing Period: Over a few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
- Abutment Placement: Once the implant is securely integrated, an abutment is attached to the post, serving as the connector for the replacement tooth.
- Restoration: A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the abutment, completing the process and restoring your smile.
- Our experienced team will guide you through every step of the implant process, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction.
