Empower Your Smile's Brilliance With Implants

Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth. They offer a permanent and natural-looking alternative to bridges or dentures. At our practice, we are committed to helping you restore your smile and regain optimal oral health through advanced dental implant treatments.

What are Implants?

A dental implant is a small, titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root. It provides a stable foundation for a dental crown, bridge, or denture to be securely attached. Dental implants are designed to mimic the structure and function of natural teeth, offering a durable and long-lasting tooth replacement option.

How Does it Work?

The dental implant procedure involves several steps. First, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. If eligible, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Over time, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, which provides a stable base for the artificial tooth.

After the implant has fully integrated with the bone, an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment acts as a connector between the implant and the dental restoration. Finally, a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture is fabricated and securely attached to the abutment, completing the restoration process.

BENEFITS OF Implants

Dental implants offer several benefits for individuals seeking tooth replacement options. Here are some key advantages of dental implants:

Improved Aesthetics

Dental implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth. They are customized to match the color, shape, and size of your existing teeth, resulting in a seamless and attractive smile. Implants help restore your confidence and improve your overall facial appearance.

Enhanced Chewing and Speaking Ability

Dental implants provide a stable and secure foundation for dental restorations, such as crowns or bridges. With implants, you can enjoy improved chewing function, allowing you to eat your favorite foods comfortably. They also help in maintaining clear speech by preventing slippage or movement of artificial teeth.

Long-Term Durability

Dental implants are known for their durability and longevity. With proper oral care and regular check-ups, they can last for many years, often a lifetime. Implants are made of biocompatible titanium, which fuses with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, providing a strong and stable foundation for tooth replacement.

Preservation of Jawbone Health

When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone may start to deteriorate over time. Dental implants mimic the function of natural tooth roots and stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss. This helps maintain the integrity and structure of the jawbone and preserves the overall facial appearance.

Convenience and Comfort

Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are fixed in place and do not require adhesives or removal for cleaning. They eliminate the hassle of daily maintenance and offer a more comfortable and natural-feeling solution for tooth replacement.

Improved Oral Health

Dental implants do not require adjacent healthy teeth to be altered or compromised, as is necessary with traditional dental bridges. By preserving the integrity of neighboring teeth, implants contribute to better overall oral health.

Restored Self-Confidence

With a complete and attractive smile, individuals who receive dental implants often experience a boost in self-esteem and confidence. They can confidently interact with others without feeling self-conscious about missing teeth.

It’s important to consult with a qualified dental professional like Dr. Marjan Mirani to determine if dental implants are the right option for your specific dental needs. She can evaluate your oral health, discuss treatment options, and provide personalized recommendations to help you achieve a functional and beautiful smile.

Frequently asked questions

Most individuals with good oral health and sufficient jawbone density are suitable candidates for dental implants. Your eligibility will be determined through a comprehensive examination and evaluation by Dr. Mirani.

The duration of the dental implant process can vary depending on individual cases. It typically involves multiple stages, including implant placement, a healing period for osseointegration (the fusion of implant and jawbone), and the placement of the dental restoration. The entire process can span several months, but the specific timeline will be determined by your treatment plan.

The dental implant procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the process. After the procedure, some soreness or discomfort may occur, but it can be managed with pain medications prescribed by Dr. Mirani.

Dental implants require regular oral hygiene practices similar to natural teeth. This includes brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily, and scheduling regular dental check-ups. Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for the long-term success of dental implants.

While dental implants have a high success rate, there is a slight possibility of implant failure. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or certain medical conditions may increase the risk. Following proper oral hygiene practices and the instructions provided by Dr. Mirani can help minimize this risk.

Dental implant coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and plan. Some plans may offer partial coverage for the implant procedure, while others may not cover it at all. It is recommended to consult with your insurance provider to understand the specifics of your coverage.
