Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental Implants Savannah PatientDental implants are the tooth replacement option that functions most like your natural teeth. They are made of a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone where you have lost teeth. The titanium bonds with your jawbone, similar to the way your natural tooth root does. Then the dental implants are topped with an attractive and functional dental crown.

No diet restrictions. Go ahead, eat that steak or corn on the cob.The benefits of dental implants include:

  • No special care requirements.
  • Look just like natural teeth.
  • Don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support.
  • Stimulate jawbone to prevent bone loss.
  • With proper care, can be lifetime replacements.

Dental implants give you the ability to eat, speak, laugh, and enjoy life with confidence. You know your teeth won’t slip out, make noise, or look fake.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

A dental implant is a highly customized procedure, and it’s hard to give a good idea about costs without first performing a comprehensive exam. The cost of your dental implant is going to be determined by:

  • The condition of your implant site or sites
  • The number of dental implants required
  • The implant functionality desired
  • The quality of restorations used

As well as many other factors.

The Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant procedure takes place in several phases.

First, you will have your implant or implants placed. Usually, you’ll receive temporary replacement teeth that day that let you smile with confidence and eat normally.Before your dental implant procedure, we will carefully evaluate your health to make sure you’re a good candidate for implants. Sometimes, you may need additional treatments to prepare you for your dental implants.

The healing of your implants is the most important step. Once they successfully integrate with the bone, they will most likely be there for life. To help your body heal properly, we concentrate some of your body’s natural healing factors which we will explain in depth during your consultation.

Next, your implants will be allowed to heal. This is when they integrate with the bone and become fully fixed like your natural teeth.

Once your implants are fully fused to the bone, we will place your permanent restorations.

It’s important to remember that maintenance is part of the dental implant process. Once you’ve got your implants, take proper care of them and they can last you a lifetime.
