WHAT IS AN IMPLANT?

If you want to regain the sensation of chewing without encountering problems with partial or total dentures, implants are the most suitable option complete. Dental implants are artificial roots, typically made of titanium, surgically placed in the jawbone or maxilla to support replacement teeth, dental bridges, or overdentures. Implants provide a sturdy foundation for restoring the sensation of chewing.

Am I a candidate for implants? Generally, all patients who have lost teeth are candidates for implants. Implants can replace each tooth lost over the years. However, ideally, an implant candidate should be a non-smoker and have sufficient bone in which the implant will be placed.

How many implants can I get? There is no limit to the number of implants that can be placed. It varies depending on each individual case. The periodontist will assess the condition of your bone in each part of your maxilla or jaw, as the bone must meet minimum height and thickness requirements.

How long does the implant last? Implants are made of titanium, the same material used in modern medicine to replace any bone parts affecting your body. Titanium is the best biocompatible material available today for tooth replacement needs. Implants can last a lifetime with strict monitoring by your periodontist.

What care should I take? Implants should be treated like your natural teeth. They deserve expert care from professionals and yourself, including proper cleaning habits. Always remember that teeth or implants are not tools.

How is the maintenance of the implants? Maintenance is like your natural teeth. By using a proper toothbrush, flossing, and regularly visiting your periodontist, you can keep your dental implants in excellent condition.

How much does an implant cost? Dental implants involve advanced technology in their production and placement. The cost depends on your dental insurance coverage and the value you place on restoring your ability to chew. Implants are more affordable now than in previous years, and we offer payment options tailored to your financial needs.
