Dental implants are a great way to
replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having
removable partial or complete dentures. Implants provide excellent
support and stability for these dental appliances.
Dental implants are artificial roots
and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the
upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or Periodontist - a specialist
of the gums and supporting bone. The teeth attached to implants are
very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s
smile!
Dental implants are very strong,
stable, and durable and will last many years, but on occasion, they
will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear.
There are several reasons someone could
be looking in Modesto, CA for dental implants:
•Replace one or more missing teeth
without affecting adjacent teeth.
•Resolve joint pain or bite problems
caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.
•Restore a patient’s confident
smile.
•Restore chewing, speech, and
digestion.
•Restore or enhance facial tissues.
•Support a bridge or denture, making
them more secure and comfortable.
What does getting dental implants
involve?
The process of getting implants
requires a number of visits over several months.
X-rays and impressions (molds) are
taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing
available for an implant. While the area is numb, the implant will
be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate
itself onto the bone for up to six months. Depending on the type of
implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the
“post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place. With other
implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the
same time.
After several weeks of healing the
artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the
anchor. Because several fittings may be required, this step may take
one to two months to complete. After a healing period, the
artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing
excellent stability and comfort to the patient.
You will receive care instructions when
your treatment is completed. Good oral hygiene, eating habits, and
regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new implant.
