Frequently Asked Questions About Restoring Dental Implants
Question: How are they placed?
Answer: Unlike a bridge, which relies on crowns, or a removable denture, which requires natural suction, an implant is inserted into the jawbone via oral surgery. There, it bonds with the jaw through a process known as osseointegration, offering unrivaled stability.
Question: Do the restorations look natural?
Answer: Once we place the implant, we need to restore the visible portion. To do this, we create and place a natural looking ceramic crown. We use ceramic due to the material’s natural appearance, as well as its strength and durability. The crown will blend with the smile, matching surrounding teeth.
Question: What if I lose multiple teeth?
Answer: Should you lose a significant amount of teeth, we can still replace them using implant technology. We will place multiple implant posts to secure a bridge or a denture. The prosthetic will be custom-made from lifelike materials, offering the same stability and natural appearance as our single tooth options.
Question: Can anyone wear implants?
Answer: We will need to carefully examine your smile to assess your candidacy. However, even if you have lost jawbone tissue due to tooth loss, we can still offer mini implants or even teeth-in-a-day to provide a lifelike prosthetic that is more stable and long lasting than a bridge or a removable denture.
