Dental Implants: Your Permanent Solution for a Complete Smile
Missing a tooth is more than a cosmetic concern. It can significantly impact how you chew, speak, and smile. At Adams Family Dentistry, we offer dental implants, one of our most trusted and reliable solutions for replacing missing teeth. Our superior implant restorations are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth, restoring your beautiful, confident smile. We invite you to schedule your consultation today!
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts we place in your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Over time, the biocompatible material will bond to the surrounding bone through a natural process known as osseointegration, creating a strong, stable foundation for your replacement teeth. Once the area heals, we will secure a custom-crafted replacement tooth or teeth to your implants to complete your smile.
The following is a look at your implant restoration options:
- Single Implant Crowns: If you are missing a single tooth, an implant crown placed on an implant can restore the natural look and function of your smile.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: If you’re missing multiple teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge can fill gaps in your smile without impacting any surrounding teeth.
- Snap-On, Removable Implant Overdentures: These implant-supported dentures are securely attached to a number of implants placed in your jawbone, offering a more stable and functional alternative to traditional dentures.
Replacing missing teeth sooner rather than later is always the best approach. The longer a gap is left untreated, the greater the risk of bone loss, shifting teeth, and other complications that may affect your overall dental health.
What Is the Dental Implant Placement Process?
We understand that the words “implant surgery” can feel intimidating, but modern dentistry has made the experience more comfortable and predictable than ever.
Your dental implant process will start by capturing intricate 3D scans of your teeth and oral structures using our cutting-edge CBCT unit. These images help us evaluate your teeth, jawbone, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and sinuses, and also allow us to plan your treatment. They also enable us to create surgical guides, ensuring your implants are placed with exceptional precision, supporting their long-term success, and reducing the risk of complications.
After your implant fuses with the jawbone and the area heals, we will take digital impressions of your mouth using our iTero scanner, which skilled technicians at a partner lab use to create your new implant restoration using high-quality materials. Once in place, your new dental implants offer results virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth, which is why they continue growing in popularity and are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer a superior, popular solution for replacing missing teeth. Here’s a look at what sets them apart:
- They Look Natural: Each restoration is custom-designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, so no one will know you’ve had a tooth or teeth replaced.
- They Protect Your Smile: By filling gaps in your smile, single implants or implant-supported bridges can prevent any neighboring teeth from drifting toward the gap, helping maintain the alignment of your teeth and bite.
- They Preserve Your Jawbone: Implants are the only tooth replacements that stimulate your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically follows tooth loss.
- They are Easy to Maintain: Care for implants just like you would for natural teeth by brushing and flossing every day and visiting Adams Family Dentistry for your twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings.
- They are Durable: With proper care, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime, making them one of the most cost-effective long-term investments in your oral health.
