Benefits of Dental Implants

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants in Savannah are an outstanding procedure that provides patients unparalleled benefits. With dental implants, you will enjoy a tooth replacement that:

• Looks natural
• Functions like a natural tooth
• Supports itself
• Stimulates your jawbone
• Requires no special care
• Can last a lifetime

Dental implants look natural because they have a structure like a natural tooth. The tooth root (the implant itself) is in your jawbone, so it’s concealed. Atop the implant is a dental crown that looks just like a natural tooth crown to restore your healthy, attractive smile. 

A dental implant functions just like a natural tooth. Eat all the foods you enjoyed with your natural teeth. You won’t have to worry about the implant coming out of place or falling out again. Dental implants anchor themselves in your jawbone, so they don’t rely on your natural teeth for support. Anchoring in the jawbone lets an implant stimulate your bone so it doesn’t atrophy. It helps you maintain your strong bone and youthful appearance. 

Dental implants don’t need any special care. You don’t take them out for soaking or anything, just brush and floss normally and make regular dental visits. If you take care of your dental implants, they can last an extremely long time, even a lifetime (50 years or more!). 

At Beyond Exceptional Dentistry, that’s just the start of the benefits we offer you. 

Beyond Exceptional Hospitality

One of the first things you’ll notice about Beyond Exceptional Dentistry in Savannah is how different we treat you from other dental practices. We always welcome you by name and offer you something to eat or drink. This is your dental home, and we want to make sure you feel at home.

Everyone in the practice takes the time to know you and understand your case. You won’t end up explaining your problem fifteen different times before you get treatment. When you talk, we listen–and that’s not just about dentistry, either. We pay attention to what’s going on in your life.

Hospitality is not an extra–it’s actually critical to giving you the best care. First, how can we treat you if we don’t really know you? Listening carefully to you lets us give you the care and the results you really want. And it doesn’t matter how carefully we listen if you don’t actually tell us what you want. That’s why we want to make sure you feel comfortable and that we’ve earned your trust–we want you to be honest with us about what you’re looking for. Whether you’re nervous about tooth extraction or the dental implant placement, we help you feel comfortable and relaxed, including the option of sedation dentistry if you need it to feel relaxed. 

Complete Treatment Plans

At Beyond Exceptional Dentistry in Savannah, we believe in comprehensive dentistry that is future-focused. When we develop a treatment plan for you, it’s going to be complete. That means it’s not just going to address the one problem–replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant–but address any other problems that are consistent with your overall goals for your smile. If you really want a beautiful smile, we can’t achieve that by just giving you a dental implant if the rest of your teeth are unattractive. And, of course, if you have other teeth that are decayed and in danger of failing, we might recommend removing them now to help you have a healthy smile. We have to be aware that these decayed teeth could harbor bacteria that will threaten your dental implant.

And a vital part of our treatment plan reflects something that many dentists ignore entirely: your bite. It’s important to make sure that you have a healthy bite that won’t put adverse force on your dental implant, which could lead to implant failure and tooth damage.

Thorough Follow-up

For some dentists in Savannah, your importance diminishes immediately after you have a major procedure like getting a dental implant. They feel that they don’t have to care as much now that your procedure is finished.

That’s not the case at Beyond Exceptional Dentistry. We realize that oral health depends on more than just a few short procedures–it’s a long-term commitment of time and effort. That’s why we schedule thorough follow-ups after every procedure. We want to make sure you are getting the results you want and make any adjustments necessary to avoid serious problems.

Expect to see us again a couple of days after your procedure, then at a couple of weeks, and a couple of months, too. This is a lot more important than many dentists realize. For example, when you’re numbed by anesthesia, you won’t bite normally. We need to see how your bite works when the anesthesia wears off to make sure we’ve given you a restoration that fits you perfectly. And with a procedure like dental implants, we want to make sure we’re checking on your healing and recommend any additional care necessary before problems develop.

Learn the Difference for Yourself

When choosing an implant dentist, there are many important factors to consider beyond the cost of dental implants and the location of a dental office.

You’ll see that we do things differently here, and then you can decide if that makes us the best implant dentists for you.
