Dental Implants

Tooth loss can have a significant impact on both a patient’s quality of life and oral well-being. Dental implants offer patients a way to replace missing teeth with a solution that can last a lifetime. Call us today if you are ready to restore your smile and improve your oral health, and you can set up your appointment for expert dental care at Smile Studio.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are made up of titanium posts that act as the dental root and a dental crown to replace a missing tooth. This makes dental implants one of the longest lasting tooth replacements available, with results that can last for decades. They also look natural, blending in seamlessly among your existing teeth.

Dental implants offer patients a comprehensive solution for missing teeth. Not only are dental implants incredibly durable, but they can also be customized to ensure that they assimilate naturally with the existing dental structure. Patients who choose dental implants will benefit from improved dental health and stability. Unlike other dental prostheses, dental implants are designed to be permanent, so they can provide long-term dental stability and improved oral health.

What Is the Process for Receiving Dental Implants?

At Smile Studio, our dental team is dedicated to providing dental implant procedures that are quick, comfortable, and successful. The dental implant procedure will involve a few separate appointments with our dental office as you progress along the process.

During the first appointment, your doctor will take x-rays of the affected area to determine whether you are a good candidate for dental implants. If you are a suitable candidate, the dental implants will be surgically placed into the jawbone. After your dental implant has been surgically placed, it is then left for several months to heal and integrate with the jawbone to provide a foundation for your tooth replacement.

Finally, when the dental implant has healed and integrated with the jawbone, our dental team can create a dental crown that is customized to perfectly match the look and feel of your natural teeth. This dental crown can then be placed on top of the dental implant for a seamless restoration.

Benefits of Dental Implants

At Smile Studio, we understand how important dental implants are to our patients; which is why we strive to provide a comprehensive dental implant procedure with several benefits patients can expect. These benefits may include:

Improved dental health and stability
Prevents further dental issues, such as shifting teeth or an uneven bite
Ability to chew food with ease
Natural-looking results that blend in perfectly with your existing dental structure
Durable solution lasting for decades

Signs Dental Implants Are Right for You

If you’re looking for a dental solution that is long-lasting and offers natural results, dental implants may be the right choice for you. If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants can be used to replace them. However, patients with several missing teeth may find a better solution with dental bridges or partial or full dentures. Good dental implant candidates should also have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone structure to support the dental implant. But we also may offer bone grafting to build up jawbone structure to prepare patients for receiving their dental implants.

The first step is to set up your appointment and visit our dental specialist at Smile Studio. We can fully examine your situation and discuss what options may provide you with an ideal outcome. At every step, we provide full, transparent information about your procedure options, so you can always feel fully aware of your treatment process.

Caring for Your Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to last for decades, but they also require proper dental care and cleaning to stay in good shape. Patients should brush and clean dental implants just as they would with any other teeth at least twice every day. It is important to maintain good dental hygiene habits, but we also recommend visiting us twice a year for routine exams to ensure that there are no other dental health concerns requiring treatment.
