What You Need to Know at Tidental

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gum line. They provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Improved Oral Health

Dental implants preserve natural tooth tissue by avoiding the need to alter adjacent teeth, as required by dental bridges. They also promote long-term oral health by preventing bone loss and maintaining jawbone structure.

Enhanced Functionality

Implants restore biting and chewing function, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence. They provide stability and durability similar to natural teeth, enhancing overall oral function.

Natural Appearance

Custom-made dental restorations attached to implants are designed to match the shape, color, and size of your natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural-looking smile.

Longevity and Durability

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are designed to withstand normal biting forces and provide a reliable long-term solution for tooth replacement.

The Dental Implant Process

Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation at Tidental, our implant dentist evaluates your oral health, discusses your treatment goals, and determines if you are a candidate for dental implants. This may involve taking x-rays and impressions of your teeth and jaw.

Implant Placement

The implant placement procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. The implant is surgically positioned into the jawbone where it integrates with the bone over several months through a process called osseointegration.

Abutment Placement

Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the dental restoration, such as a crown or bridge, which will be custom-made to fit your smile.

Restoration Placement

The final step involves attaching the dental restoration to the abutment. The restoration is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a functional and aesthetic solution for missing teeth.

Considerations for Dental Implants

Dental Health Requirements

Good oral health and sufficient jawbone density are essential for successful implant placement. If necessary, preliminary treatments such as bone grafting or periodontal therapy may be recommended to ensure optimal conditions for implants.
