DENTAL IMPLANTS: WHAT ARE THEY?

Dental implants are remarkable restorative solutions designed to replace missing teeth while providing a strong and natural-looking foundation. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, effectively mimicking the structure of natural teeth. These implants consist of three essential components:


  • The Dental Implant: This titanium screw-like post is inserted into the jawbone, acting as the root of the new tooth.


  • Implant Abutment: The abutment connects the implant post to the prosthetic tooth on top of it.


  • Fixed Restoration: A crown, bridge, or All-on-4 prosthesis that is custom-designed to complete the visible portion of your beautiful smile.


Dental implants offer numerous benefits, such as enhanced stability, improved oral function, and longevity. They also prevent the bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing, maintaining the natural youthfulness of your facial structure.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN GETTING DENTAL IMPLANTS

The journey to a brand-new smile begins with a consultation at Elite Dental. Dr. Patel will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. If you're a candidate, here's what you can expect during the implant procedure:

PREPARATORY PHASE

Before the implant placement, any remaining damaged or decayed teeth are removed, and the jawbone is prepared for implantation. Grafting may be needed.

IMPLANT PLACEMENT

Dr. Patel will use CBCT scanning and 3D imaging to carefully position the implants into your jawbone. While this might sound intimidating, rest assured that the procedure is minimally invasive. And thanks to local anesthesia and sedation options, can feel completely at ease.

HEALING & INTEGRATION

PERIOD

After the implant is placed, your bone will gradually fuse with the implant post, making it a permanent part of your smile. This typically takes a few months.

TYPES OF IMPLANTS AT ELITE DENTAL

SINGLE IMPLANTS

These are best for replacing individual teeth. A single implant is made up of an implant post, abutment, and fixed crown, providing a stand-alone replacement that looks and feels like a natural tooth.

ALL-ON-4 IMPLANTS

If you're missing multiple teeth or require full arch restoration, our All-on-4 implant system might be the perfect fit. With just four strategically placed implants, we can support a full arch of teeth, providing a secure and permanent solution for your smile.

FAQ  ABOUT DENTAL IMPLANTS

    With proper care and good oral hygiene, your dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular checkups and daily flossing and brushing are essential to ensure their longevity.

  • Am I a candidate for dental implants if I have gum disease or bone loss?

    In many cases, gum disease and bone loss can be treated or managed to make you a suitable candidate for dental implants. Dr. Patel will assess your individual situation and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

  • How much do dental implants cost?

    The cost of dental implants varies depending on factors such as the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and any additional steps required. During your consultation, we'll provide you with a personalized treatment plan and a detailed cost estimate.
