Implant Dentistry

At Dental Arts & Cosmetic Dentistry, we recognize the significance of a confident smile and the crucial role dental implants play in restoring both functionality and aesthetics. Implant dentistry has revolutionized our approach to tooth replacement, providing patients with a permanent solution that closely resembles and functions like natural teeth.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as artificial tooth roots that provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, including crowns, bridges, or dentures. This innovative treatment not only restores the aesthetics of your smile but also preserves bone structure and enhances oral health.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a natural appearance.
Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a long-term solution to tooth loss.
Improved Comfort: Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place, eliminating discomfort and inconvenience.
Preserving Oral Health: Implants play a crucial role in preventing bone loss and maintaining the integrity of adjacent teeth, as they eliminate the necessity for extensive dental preparations.

The Dental Implant Procedure

The journey to receiving dental implants at Dental Arts & Cosmetic Dentistry starts with a thorough consultation and evaluation. Dr. Khan utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and imaging techniques to evaluate the patient’s oral health, bone density, and overall eligibility for implants.

Initial Consultation: We engage in a detailed discussion with the patient, addressing their goals, medical history, and expectations. Additionally, we may conduct X-rays and 3D scans to evaluate the bone structure and ensure precise implant placement.
Placement of Implants: During a minor surgical procedure, the titanium implants are strategically positioned within the jawbone. Over time, the implants naturally integrate with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation.
Healing and Recovery: Following implant placement, a healing period of several months allows the implants to integrate fully with the jawbone. Temporary prosthetics may be worn during this period.
Final Restoration: Once the implants have bonded with the jawbone, custom crafted crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely attached to the implants, restoring full dental function and aesthetics.

Questions & Answers

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small, biocompatible titanium screws surgically placed in your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Crowns, bridges, or dentures are then attached to these implants, creating a permanent and natural-looking restoration for missing teeth.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants?

Most individuals with good overall health and adequate jawbone density are suitable candidates for dental implants. During a consultation, your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your candidacy for this treatment.

What are the benefits of dental implants compared to other options like dentures?

Dental implants offer numerous advantages over dentures:

Stability and security: Implants fuse with your jawbone, providing a fixed and comfortable solution that won’t slip or cause pain.
Improved oral health: Implants preserve your jawbone from resorption, maintain the health of surrounding teeth, and prevent facial sagging.
Natural look and feel: Implants look and function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Durability: Dental implants are built to last a lifetime with proper care, eliminating the need for frequent replacements.
