Benefits of Dental Implants
If you have missing or broken teeth, dental implants may be an option for you to consider. By having damaged or missing teeth, you can be at risk of difficulty chewing, may experience a sunken appearance or sagging on one side of your face, and are at higher risk for jawbone loss. Dental implants are a way to preserve your oral health and help maintain your overall well-being.
Restoration Options
Once you begin the dental implant process, you and the dentist will go over the options available to you for restoring your smile. Some of the options available to you include:
- Crowns: A single tooth is replaced on a post implanted into the jaw and can be in different locations around the mouth.
- Bridges: This option is for a series of teeth (3-4) being replaced by implanting a post at each end of the tooth prosthetic, and this implant piece replaces a sequential section of missing or damaged teeth.
- Dentures: These prosthetics can be done as a partial or full arch and use multiple implant posts to secure this restorative piece to the jawbone.
Our Dental Implant Process
At Moon Family Dental Care, our team will walk you through every step of the dental implant process. Our dentist can place and restore your broken or damaged tooth. To begin the process, our dentist will have a consultation with you to discuss your treatment plan and options for restoration. We will then use a CBCT scanner to get detailed images inside your mouth and map your teeth. We will also utilize Intraoral cameras to get detailed color images of the teeth and help plan out your treatment.
There is a process that includes three elements to the implant. You are first fitted with a post. This post is made of medical-grade materials to better adapt to your jaw. Next, we will fit your implant post with an abutment to secure your replacement tooth to the dental implant post. And finally, our team will add the restoration piece to your abutment which completes your treatment and smile. Our office utilizes Platelet-rich plasma to promote quicker healing, done in the office on the day of the procedure.
Pretreatments for Tooth Replacement
In order to receive implant dentistry, your oral health needs to be able to support a dental implant post. We offer services to help prepare your oral health for a tooth replacement. These options help make the process easier and boost the longevity of the implant. Some ways that we can help repair your oral health before the dental implant process are:
- Extractions: When you have broken or damaged teeth, you'll need to remove those to make room for the dental implant. Our dentist will extract any damaged teeth you have to help treat and prevent possible tooth infections that could compromise the jawbone.
- Bone Grafts: This treatment option could be necessary if you have lower jawbone density or missing jawbone. A dental implant post is put into the jawbone, but you need sufficient bone density to accept an implant post and allow it to heal completely. Our dentist will take bone and graft it into your jaw so it can support the dental implant treatment.
Implant Dentistry FAQs
When deciding whether dental implants could be an option for you, there are many things to consider. You can contact our office with any questions or concerns you may have about our dental implant procedure or our practice. We are happy to answer any queries you may have. Some questions asked include:
Dental implant prosthetics are lifelike tooth replacements and treated like real teeth. They need to brush and floss regularly, and you need to continue seeing our dentist regularly for checkups.
You'll want to rely on soft foods and liquids for the first few days after the surgery while your mouth recuperates. Avoid especially hot or cold foods, as they can be uncomfortable and impact your body's healing. You'll gradually be able to return to a normal diet within a few weeks. Our dentist will review our recommendations with you so you can prepare beforehand.
Yes, you can! A single implant crown can be placed anywhere in your mouth, so a front tooth is absolutely an option. Our dentist will be able to let you know how to start that process after your consultation.
