At Advanced Dental Arts NW, dental implants are small titanium posts surgically inserted into your jawbone. They act as tooth roots, anchoring your teeth and preventing them from shifting out of place. The posts are then capped with a crown that looks like a natural tooth. Implants can improve oral health and function, and they are an excellent choice for patients who have lost teeth or have damaged teeth. Implants can help restore your teeth and prevent further tooth loss. Be sure to brush and floss regularly to keep your smile healthy and clean. And just like with your natural teeth, attending regular checkups with your dentist is important for keeping your dental implant in good condition.

The Benefit of Dental Implants

Improved Aesthetics

Dental implants closely resemble natural teeth in appearance. They are custom-made to match your remaining teeth' color, shape, and size, providing a seamless and natural-looking smile. You can regain confidence and enjoy a restored and attractive smile with dental implants.

Enhanced Functionality

Dental implants restore the function of natural teeth, allowing you to chew, bite, and speak with ease and comfort. The stability of implants ensures that they do not slip or move while eating or speaking, unlike traditional dentures. This enables you to enjoy a wide range of foods without any restrictions.

Preservation of Jawbone Health

When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone may deteriorate over time. Dental implants help stimulate the jawbone through osseointegration, which promotes bone growth and prevents bone loss. This preserves the structure and strength of the jawbone, maintaining facial aesthetics and preventing a sunken appearance.

The Procedure for Dental Implants

To place an implant, we must first remove any decay or damage from the tooth being restored. Then we create a space for the implant placed in the jawbone. Next, the implant is placed into the missing tooth's bone socket and covered to allow it to fuse to the bone over several months. Once this process is complete, we can restore the tooth with a crown or bridge if desired to provide the full function to the patient’s smile.

Dental implants are a great option for patients who have lost a tooth or teeth due to trauma, severe decay or damage, or gum disease. Many patients choose dental implants because they look and feel like natural teeth and can function similarly. Sometimes, we may need to place multiple implants to support a crown, dental bridge, or denture. In these cases, we will recommend the most conservative treatment plan possible for our patients based on their needs and budget.

Dental implants provide a long-lasting and effective solution for tooth replacement, improving the smile's function and aesthetics.
