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.

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.

How Many Implants Do You Need?
Transcript
You don't need a mouthful of implants to get a full set of teeth. Most full arch implant dentures just use four implants per jaw. These implants act like anchors holding the denture securely in place so it doesn't move when you eat or speak. The exact number depends on your bone health, bite, and long-term goals. But fewer implants often means faster healing and lower cost without sacrificing stability. You don't need one implant per tooth. With the right plan, just a few can restore your full smile.
Why Implants Are So Safe
Transcript
Some people worry about dental implants, but most fear come out of outdated information. Dental implants are the most researched and successful procedures in dentistry today. They have a success rate of 95% or more. Most people worry about rejection or complication of dental implants. Dental implants are titanium based is the most bio compatible material to our body. It's the same material that you'll be using for either knee replacement or hip replacement. As with any procedures, there are risks, but they are far less if they are done with a licensed and experienced dental professional. In fact, implants don't only restore your missing teeth, but they kind of retain your jawbone. Denal implants is a very safe and proven way to rebuild your smile.
How Long Do Implants Last?
Transcript
Many people worry that dental implants won't last, but the truth may surprise you. Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With proper care, the dental implant, meaning the titanium post placed in the bone, can last a lifetime. The crown or denture placed on top of your implant, may need to be replaced, typically about 10 to 15 years, depending on wear and tear. The key to long-lasting implants is good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Implants not only restore your smile, they maintain your bone and preserve your facial structure for the long haul. Dental implants aren't just durable.
Do Dental Implants Set Off Metal Detectors?
Transcript
Worried that your dental implants might set off airport security? Here's the truth. Dental implants are typically made of titanium. It's a biocompatible metal, but does not regularly interfere with security scanners. In fact, implants are so small and embedded in your jawbone, they usually go unnoticed. Buy airport metal detectors and body scanners. You won't need a medical card or a special clearance. If you got other implants like knees or hips, that's a different story. But for your teeth, you're good to go. Your smile won't delay your flight. Dental implants are actually travel friendly and TSA approved.
