Dental Implants

The permanent solution to missing teeth

Dental implants are the best way to replace a missing tooth

 

When you lose one or more teeth due to decay, accident, or extraction, it needs to be replaced to avoid further problems. At Detroit Dentist we recommend dental implants, the most effective way to replace a missing tooth. We proudly welcome patients from Farmington, Southfield, and surrounding areas at our Bingham Farms, practice.

Am I a good candidate for Dental Implants?

In general, good candidates for Dental Implants have:

Good overall health: Dental implant surgery is a minor surgical procedure, so it’s important that you are in good overall health. This means that you should not have any underlying health conditions that could interfere with the healing process, such as diabetes or heart disease.

Healthy gums and jawbone: Dental implants require a certain amount of healthy gum tissue and jawbone to be successful. If you have advanced gum disease or have experienced significant bone loss in your jaw, you may not be a good candidate for dental implants.

A commitment to oral hygiene: Dental implants require regular care and maintenance, just like your natural teeth. If you are committed to practicing good oral hygiene and taking care of your implants, you may be a good candidate.

The best way to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants is to schedule a consultation with Detroit implant dentist Dr. Baqai. Dr. Baqai will evaluate your individual needs and provide you with personalized recommendations for restoring your smile.

Am I a good candidate for Mini Dental Implants?

In general, good candidates for Mini Dental Implants have:

Bone density: Mini dental implants require less bone density than traditional implants. However, you still need to have enough healthy bone to support the implant. Dr. Baqai can perform a bone density test to determine if you have enough bone for mini dental implants.

Overall health: Mini dental implants may not be suitable for people with certain medical conditions or those taking certain medications. Dr. Baqai will review your medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Oral health: Your oral health is a crucial factor in determining your suitability for mini dental implants. Dr. Baqai will evaluate your teeth, gums, and overall oral health to ensure that the procedure will not cause any complications.

We Offer Dental Implants and Mini Dental Implants

Dental implants are a common dental procedure used to replace missing teeth. They involve placing a metal post into the jawbone, which supports a dental crown. Mini implants are a smaller type of implant, often used for less extensive dental work or for those who do not have sufficient bone density for traditional implants. Both types of implants can provide a stable and long-lasting solution for tooth loss, improving oral health and quality of life.

Why is replacing a missing tooth important?

 

  • Missing tooth can cause teeth to shift, creating bite problems.
  • Loss of tooth may cause jawbone deterioration, weakening the jaw and increasing risk of fractures.
  • Gaps from missing teeth can lead to gum inflammation and infection.
  • Missing tooth can affect appearance and lead to self-consciousness.
