Dental Implants Q & A

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are devices placed in your jawbone to hold in your new prosthetic teeth. The implant itself is a metal post designed to act like the root of your tooth.

Since it’s attached to your jawbone, you can enjoy a new prosthetic tooth with the full strength and sturdiness of a natural tooth.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants are the most permanent option for tooth replacement. They have many advantages over other tooth replacement options like dentures and bridges. Some of their benefits are:

Permanence
Sturdiness
Strength
Easy cleaning and care
Improved distribution of pressure on your teeth
Easy speaking and eating
Natural look and feel

Getting dental implants isn’t a quick or easy process, but they outlast other oral appliances. In addition to their durability and functionality, implants boost your self-esteem and make your smile look gorgeous.

What is the process of getting dental implants?

The process for getting dental implants involves several appointments over the course of a few months. You must attend an initial consultation at Calandra Family Dentistry, during which your dentist examines your mouth and ensures your jawbone can hold the implants.

Once approved, your dentist treats any diseases or infections to ensure your mouth is healthy. Then, an impression of your mouth is taken to create a new prosthetic tooth to fit in with your remaining natural set.

For the procedure, your dentist at Calandra Family Dentistry cuts into your gums and removes any remaining parts of the original tooth. Then, a metal post is secured in your jawbone. For a few months, your jawbone heals around the implant to fuse it into place.

At your final appointment, your new prosthetic tooth is fitted securely over the metal post. Once in place, you can enjoy an active lifestyle without dietary restrictions. Ideally, you won’t have to worry about your tooth ever again!
