Natural Looking Dental Implant

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium “anchor” that is used to replace teeth that have fallen out or that have been extracted. Dental implants are surgically implanted in the jawbone to function like the root of your missing tooth. You preserve your surrounding bone and gums and replace your missing tooth with a natural-looking and long-lasting denture. Implant restorations are an alternative to conventional crowns, bridges and prostheses. Since implant restorations not only look like natural teeth, but also feel like them They offer a new level of comfort, safety and trust compared to traditional treatments. For more than two decades, dental implants have been helping to give patients a new quality of life with dentures.

Treatment options with implants include:

  • Single tooth replacement with implant-supported crowns
  • Replacement of multiple teeth with an implant-supported bridge
  • Replacement of all teeth in the upper or lower jaw with fixed or removable full dentures

What are the advantages?

Dental implantology is the most advanced and successful treatment method to replace one or more missing teeth. Choosing dental implants as a treatment option can provide you with a number of important advantages:

Preservation of bone anatomy. If you are missing teeth, bone will regress over time. Unhealthy bone loss can break down your jawbone and change the structure of your face. Dental implants can help prevent the breakdown of your jawbone so that your face retains its natural shape.

  • Preservation of your healthy teeth: As a better alternative to bridges in the long term, dental implants eliminate the need to grind down healthy neighboring teeth when replacing one or more teeth. Your own natural and healthy teeth will not be affected.
  • Safety: Securely anchored dental implants will not slip or move. This eliminates some of the major prosthesis problems such as poor fit, gum irritation, and pain from exposed nerves. The result offers superior comfort and reliability, without any embarrassing or unpleasant situations.
  • Quality of life: The natural appearance and comfort of implants enables you to maintain or even strengthen your self-confidence. Thanks to the stability of dental implants, you can enjoy your favorite dishes and avoid unpleasant denture adhesives and annoying cleaning processes.

What does implant treatment include?

Dental implant treatment consists of several steps that extend over an average of four to nine months. Typical treatments include:

  • Pre-treatment consultation: After carefully assessing your dental and general medical history, your treating dentist will decide whether dental implants are the right solution for you. If this is the case, you will receive thorough advice from surgical and prosthetic specialists before starting treatment.
  • Placing the implant at the start of treatment: Your dentist will choose a local or general anesthetic to place the dental implant in your jawbone. Over the next few months, the bone grows to the surface of the implant and firmly anchors the implant in this position. Depending on the situation, an additional small intervention may be necessary so that the outlet opening for the artificial tooth can be created.
  • Attachment of the implant prosthetics: In this phase, your dentist attaches a “prosthetic post” to the implant. An impression is taken and shortly afterwards an artificial tooth is made for the natural-looking denture. This prosthesis is what restores your smile and is specially crafted by your dentist to perfectly match the shape and color of your teeth. To replicate the look and feel of your natural teeth, your dentist can use many different materials, including ceramic or zirconium in order to achieve a natural look. Only you and your dentist will know you have had an implant!
  • Proper care: Your dentist will show you how to properly care for and maintain your new implants before, during and after the treatment. If you practice careful oral hygiene regularly and keep your regular follow-up visits, your implants will look great, feel perfect, and perform great for many years to come.
