What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. Surgically placed into the jawbone, these posts support replacement teeth like crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants provide a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for missing teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

At Rosemont Dental Center, we offer a range of implant services, including:

• Single Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing individual missing teeth.
• Implant-Supported Bridges: Great for multiple missing teeth in a row.
• Implant-Retained Dentures: A secure alternative to traditional dentures.

Our team is here to guide you through the implant process, ensuring you receive a solution tailored to your needs.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer many benefits compared to other tooth-replacement options:

• Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
• Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.
• Improved Functionality: You can eat, speak, and chew without the discomfort or instability of removable dentures.

The Dental Implant Process

At Rosemont Dental Center, we follow a comprehensive approach to ensure the best outcome for your dental implants. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Askari will assess your oral health and discuss your options. We'll take digital X-rays and 3D scans to plan the precise placement of your implants.
2. Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone. After a healing period of several months, during which the implant fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration), you'll return for the final restoration.
3. Restoration: Once healed, we’ll attach a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to the implant, completing your new smile.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you have:

• One or more missing teeth.
• Healthy gums and sufficient bone density.
• Good overall health to undergo surgery.

If you’ve been wearing dentures or other removable restorations, implants can offer a more permanent, stable solution. Even if you’ve experienced bone loss, procedures like bone grafting can prepare your jaw for successful implant placement.

Dental Implants vs. Other Options

While dental bridges and dentures offer solutions for missing teeth, dental implants provide unmatched durability and a natural appearance. Unlike bridges, which may require the alteration of surrounding teeth, implants stand independently. Implants also prevent the bone deterioration that often accompanies the loss of natural teeth, making them the healthiest option for long-term oral health.

Dental Implant FAQs

How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for maintaining the health of your implants.

Is the implant procedure painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, thanks to local anesthesia and sedation options. Post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

What if I don’t have enough bone for implants?
If you have experienced bone loss, Dr. Askari may recommend a bone graft to build up the jawbone and provide a stable foundation for your implant.
