Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Appearance and Function
Implants are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, restoring your smile and facial aesthetics. They blend seamlessly with existing teeth for a natural look.
Long-Term Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, unlike traditional bridges or dentures that may need replacement every 5-10 years. Implants are durable and resistant to decay.
Preservation of Jawbone
Tooth loss can lead to bone deterioration in the jaw. Dental implants stimulate bone growth and prevent further loss, maintaining facial structure and preventing sagging.
Improved Oral Health
Implants do not require altering neighboring teeth, as traditional bridges do. This helps preserve natural tooth tissue and enhances long-term oral health.
The Dental Implant Process
Consultation and Treatment Planning
During the initial consultation at Tidental, our dental team evaluates your oral health, discusses treatment goals, and determines if dental implants are suitable. X-rays and scans are taken to assess bone density and gum health.
Implant Placement
The implant surgery involves placing the titanium post into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Over several months, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, providing a strong foundation.
Abutment Placement
Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. This small connector protrudes above the gum line and serves as an anchor for the final restoration.
Restoration Placement
The final step involves placing a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture onto the abutment. These restorations are meticulously crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural appearance.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Oral Hygiene
Maintain regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups to ensure the longevity of your dental implants. Good oral hygiene prevents complications and preserves the health of surrounding teeth and gums.
Avoiding Harmful Habits
Avoid chewing hard objects, smoking, or consuming excessive amounts of alcohol to protect your implants from damage and maintain oral health.
