What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, screw-shaped titanium posts placed in the jawbone that mimic the function of natural tooth roots. Connectors, known as abutments, are built into the implants or placed after the area heals, providing support for one or more missing teeth. At Covenant Dental, we offer a range of implant restoration options, including the following:
- Single Implants: A single dental implant offers a superior solution for replacing a missing tooth. The process involves placing an implant and securing a custom crown to restore your complete smile.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: An implant-supported bridge may be right for you if you are missing multiple adjacent teeth. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on healthy, natural teeth for support, your implant restoration attaches to implants on each side of the gap, providing exceptional comfort and function.
- Overdentures: Overdentures offer a more stable alternative to traditional dentures. These removable, implant-supported dentures are secured to a few implants placed strategically in the jawbone, enhancing retention, stability, and chewing ability.
Planning Your Implant Placement
We typically begin the implant process with a thorough oral health examination. We also capture 3D scans with our cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) unit. The intricate images allow us to evaluate your jawbone structure, bone density, nerve pathways, sinuses, soft tissues, and more, facilitating treatment planning. CBCT scans enable us to create surgical guides, ensuring your implants are placed with exceptional accuracy and precision.
Another consideration before implant placement is the quality and density of the bone in the area, which is critical for the success of your implants. If you have bone loss, we may recommend a bone grafting procedure to build up the bone. This helps create a secure foundation to support your implants, ensuring their long-term success.
What Is the Implant Placement Process?
Before treatment, we will numb the area for your comfort and are happy to offer sedation dentistry options for anxiety-free care. Once you are comfortable, we will place one or several implants in your jawbone, depending on your needs. In the few months following placement, your implants will fuse to the jawbone, a process called osseointegration, providing an incredibly stable and long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth meticulously crafted to match your smile.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the standard of care, providing a strong, durable, and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. The following is a look at some of their benefits:
- Preventing Bone Loss: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone like natural tooth roots, preventing the resorption that typically occurs after tooth loss.
- Restoring Function: Your implant restorations provide exceptional stability, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently, just like natural teeth.
- Preserving Alignment: Filling gaps in your smile prevents the remaining teeth from tilting or drifting out of place, maintaining the alignment of your teeth and smile.
- Supporting Facial Structure: Your new replacement teeth will support your facial structure, preventing the sunken appearance that may occur with tooth loss.
- Exceptional Success Rate: Dental implants are highly predictable and successful, and with proper care and maintenance, your new replacement teeth can last a lifetime.
