Our team at Advanced Dental Care is here to help you smile with confidence again. Take the 2-minute quiz to see if you are a candidate for dental implant treatment.
Once placed, dental implants are very comfortable and feel just like natural teeth. During the implant surgery, a local anesthetic will be used to numb the treatment area and you will receive sedation that you won't experience any pain. After the procedure, there will be some discomfort and swelling, which can typically be managed with over-the-counter or prescription medications. Most patient report feeling only minor discomfort after having an implant placed, and it generally passes within a few days.
Dental implants are made from titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses directly with bone tissue in your jaw. This makes them incredibly strong and durable for years of use, providing a permanent anchor your for replacement teeth.
The full duration of the implant treatment process depends on many factors, such as the your unique condition and how complex your case may be. On average, it takes 3-6 months from start to finish before you have your new replacement tooth or teeth. The procedure itself typically takes two procedures -- one to place the implant post and one to attach the prosthetic tooth or bridge -- each taking roughly two hours.
The greatest benefits of getting a dental implant include improved aesthetics, better chewing ability, enhanced oral health due to fewer cavities and gum disease, and increased self-confidence from having beautiful new teeth that look natural! On the other hand, some downsides include higher cost than most other dental restorations (though many insurance companies provide coverage), and longer healing time compared to other restorations. Additional treatments such as bone grafts or sinus lifts might be needed, and individuals with certain medical conditions may not qualify for dental implants.
This type of restoration can last upwards of 10-15 years, and even longer in some cases depending upon how thoroughly they were cared for afterward by brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing once per day. Regular checkups should also be scheduled every six months to ensure maximum longevity so that your dentist can catch any signs of wear early on.
For many patients, insurance coverage is available depending on your plan’s specifics regarding oral care benefits as well as its deductible amount(s). It is best to check directly with your insurer first before any procedures are scheduled so you know what costs will fall upon yourself vs your insurer beforehand if there is any coverage provided at all.
Dental implants don't require special care beyond good oral hygiene practices. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential to maintain the health of the implant and surrounding teeth.
If your jawbone isn't thick enough or is too soft, you may require a bone graft. This procedure involves adding bone or bone-like materials to the jaw to strengthen it for implants.
Eligibility for dental implants generally requires good overall health, adequate jawbone density, and healthy gums. A thorough evaluation by your dentist will determine your suitability.
After implant surgery, it's recommended to stick to soft foods to protect the implant site during the initial healing period. Gradually, you can return to your normal diet as healing progresses.
While some cases may allow for "immediate load" implants, most require a healing period before the final restoration. The feasibility of same-day implants depends on individual circumstances and jawbone condition.
Caring for implants involves the same good oral hygiene practices as natural teeth: regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
Dental implants have a high success rate, typically above 95%, especially when placed by skilled professionals like Dr. Rosenberg.
Most adults in good general and oral health are candidates for implants. Certain health conditions may require additional considerations.
Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution and can last many years, often a lifetime, with proper care.
With modern anesthesia and sedation options, most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the implant procedure.
