What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution for tooth loss that feel, look, and function like natural teeth. They consist of titanium posts that surgically go into your jaw to fuse with the jawbone, replace the roots of missing teeth, and form a foundation for pontics or artificial teeth.

Implants can support various restorations, including crowns, bridges, and dentures. They are also the only tooth loss option that replaces both the root and crown of a missing tooth. You can replace one or several missing teeth with dental implants.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are a popular tooth replacement option as they come with numerous benefits. Here are the advantages of choosing dental implants to replace missing teeth.

Improved oral function: Implants allow you to chew and speak properly. They also prevent remaining teeth from shifting and becoming loose.

Reliability and durability: Since implants fuse with your jawbone, they can endure the pressure from chewing and grinding, just like natural teeth. They are also permanent and can last you a lifetime.

Better bone health: Implants provide constant stimulation to your jawbone, thus promoting bone health and preventing bone degradation after tooth loss.

Preserved facial structure: Replacing missing teeth prevents changes in your facial structure from missing teeth and jawbone loss, keeping you looking youthful and enhancing your overall appearance.

Natural-looking results: Implants are the closest you can get to natural teeth as they look, feel and function just like natural teeth.

Do I Qualify for Dental Implants?

While almost any adult with a missing tooth or teeth can get dental implants, you need to meet a few requirements for the treatment to be successful. First, you should be free from oral health problems like g um disease to create a healthy foundation for your implants. Also, you require sufficient jawbone to support the implants for stability purposes.

When you come to our practice, we will evaluate your oral situation to establish whether implants are a safe and appropriate option for you. If you have an oral health problem, you need to treat it before going for your implant placement surgery. We may also recommend a bone graft or sinus lift to boost bone density and volume.

What to Expect During your Dental Implant Treatment in Rochester

dental implants in Rochester Our dental implant procedures begin with an evaluation to ensure you are a good candidate for the treatment. Once we establish that implants are right for you, we will plan your treatment according to your unique dental situation.

We work with an experienced implant dentist who will perform any necessary preliminary procedures at our office, including bone grafts, dental extractions, and sinus lifts. The implant placement procedure will also take place at the implant dentist's office, which is only ten minutes away from our location. The location has all the necessary tools and equipment to provide an effective, comfortable, and quality placement procedure, while all other procedures will take place in our inviting dental office.

Once the implants are placed, you will then need time to heal and allow the implants to fuse with the jawbone for stability. After recovery, you will come back for your final restorations to complete your treatment and restore your oral function.

Customized Implant-Supported Restorations

At our practice, we're committed to providing effective and appealing restorations that look and feel like a natural part of your smile. As everyone's situation is unique, we offer a wide variety of restorations to replace everything from a single tooth to an entire dental arch. Here are the implant-supported restoration options you can receive when you visit our practice:

Implant-supported crowns: We use implant-supported crowns to replace a single missing tooth or individual teeth in different locations.

Implant-supported dental bridges: Our implant-supported bridges rely on implants instead of abutment teeth for support. You can replace up to three missing teeth in a row with a single implant-supported dental bridge.

Implant-supported dentures: We offer partial and complete implant-supported dentures to replace multiple or an entire set of missing teeth. Partial dentures are recommended when you have some healthy teeth remaining, while complete dentures replace all missing teeth in a row. Implant-supported dentures are more secure and stable than their traditional counterparts and are easy to maintain. You can also eat your favorite meals comfortably without switching your diet.

Our restorations are of the highest quality materials, and we match them to your smile for natural-looking results. We also take you through the procedure and address any concerns you might have so you can be confident about the treatment.

How to Take Care of Your Implants

The good thing about implants is that you can take care of them just like natural teeth. Floss and brush your teeth at least twice a day and go for regular dentist visits to maintain your oral health. Also, avoid misusing your new teeth by biting on hard surfaces or opening cans with them to avoid damaging the restorations. Consider wearing a sports guard if you engage in physical activity to protect your teeth from accidents.
