Restore Your Smile

The Durable, Natural-Looking Solution for Missing Teeth

Dental implants are a highly effective and permanent solution for replacing missing teeth, designed to restore both the function and appearance of your smile. They consist of a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. This biocompatible material is carefully chosen because it integrates seamlessly with the natural bone, offering unmatched stability and support. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, which is critical for the implant's long-term success and durability. This process not only anchors the implant securely but also stimulates the surrounding bone, helping to prevent the bone loss that often occurs after a tooth is lost.

At Prestige Dental, we use the latest technology and advanced techniques to ensure that your dental implants not only look and feel like your natural teeth but also function with the same strength and reliability. Our team is committed to providing personalized care throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation and planning stages to the final placement of your custom-made prosthetic. Whether you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or all of your teeth, dental implants provide a long-lasting, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution that can significantly enhance your quality of life by restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

What to Expect

Step-by-Step to a Strong, Beautiful Smile

Initial Evaluation and Planning

The dental implant process at Prestige Dental begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. During this initial consultation, our experienced team will assess your overall oral health, take detailed images of your jawbone using advanced imaging technology, and discuss your goals and expectations. This thorough examination helps us to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. If you are deemed a good candidate for dental implants, we will schedule the surgical procedure, during which the titanium post—the foundation of the implant—will be placed into your jawbone.

Surgical Placement and Healing

The surgical placement of the dental implant is a precise procedure typically performed under local anesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort. During this step, the titanium post is carefully inserted into your jawbone, where it will serve as a sturdy artificial tooth root. After the implant is placed, a critical healing period of several months is necessary to allow the implant to fully integrate with the surrounding bone through a process known as osseointegration. This phase is crucial for ensuring the long-term stability and success of the implant, as the bone grows around the post, securing it firmly in place.

Final Restoration and Completion

Once the healing process is complete and the implant has successfully integrated with your jawbone, the next step is to attach an abutment to the implant. The abutment acts as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth. After the abutment is securely in place, we proceed with the final restoration. This involves securing a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to the abutment, designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth. The result is a restoration that is not only natural-looking but also fully functional, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, as if you had your original tooth.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

The Gold Standard in Tooth Replacement

Dental implants offer numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options. They provide a permanent and stable solution that looks and functions just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Implants also help preserve the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth. This preservation of bone structure helps maintain the natural shape of your face and prevents the sunken appearance that can develop over time with dentures or bridges.

Additionally, dental implants are incredibly durable, with the potential to last a lifetime with proper care. Unlike traditional bridges, implants do not require the alteration of adjacent teeth, preserving the integrity of your remaining natural teeth. Implants are also easier to care for than dentures and don’t require any special adhesives or soaking—simply brush and floss them as you would your natural teeth. With their combination of strength, durability, and aesthetics, dental implants are considered the gold standard in tooth replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Patient FAQs: Navigating Your Dental Health with Confidence

  • Most individuals who are in good overall health and have sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. However, certain conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or gum disease may affect the success of the implant. During your consultation at Prestige Dental, we will assess your oral health and medical history to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.

  • The entire dental implant process can take several months to complete. The initial surgical placement of the implant is typically followed by a healing period of 3 to 6 months, during which the implant integrates with the jawbone. Once healing is complete, the abutment and final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) are placed. While the process requires time, the results are long-lasting and well worth the investment.

  •  The dental implant procedure is generally well-tolerated by patients, and discomfort is minimized with local anesthesia or sedation during the surgery. After the procedure, some mild soreness or swelling is common, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients find that the recovery is relatively easy, and any discomfort is short-lived compared to the long-term benefits of the implant.

  • Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are essential to maintain the health of the implant and surrounding tissues. It's also important to avoid habits that could damage your implants, such as grinding your teeth or chewing on hard objects. With proper care, dental implants can last many years, often for a lifetime.
