Whether you have missing teeth or teeth that are so severely decayed that they need to be removed for the sake of your greater dental health, we strongly recommend that you don’t leave gaps in your mouth. There are different kinds of replacement teeth available, from dentures to dental implants. But what kind of replacement teeth should you get? All things considered, dental implants are the best choice currently available. Dental implants can last a long time—possibly a lifetime, with proper care—and they look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They’re highly stable and appear so realistic that most people won’t even know you have them. As an oral surgery practice, our staff at Magic Smiles has training in a variety of dental treatments, including dental implants. To give you a better understanding of dental implants and their benefits, we’ve put together this list of frequently asked questions. We hope you’ll find it helpful!
Dental implants have three main parts: a screw-like titanium post that’s anchored in your jaw and acts as a tooth root; a durable, natural-looking crown that enables you to chew foods normally and fills in gaps in your smile; and an abutment, which connects the other two components. The Dental Implant integrates with your jawbone and becomes a permanent part of your body within a few months.
We can restore your jawbone density and make you a candidate for dental implants with a procedure called bone grafting.
Though it’s hard to put a price on the value dental implants can provide you, several factors figure into the cost, including bone grafting, tooth extractions and the number of dental implants you need. Our team can help you determine your actual cost during a consultation here in our office. Schedule your visit soon!
Dental implants are practically indistinguishable from natural teeth and require the very same type of care. Remember to brush and floss two times daily and visit us to maintain regular checkups.
