What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for missing teeth, offering a permanent alternative to traditional dentures or bridges. Composed of a titanium screw, an abutment, and a custom-made crown, dental implants are designed to mimic the structure of a natural tooth. The titanium screw acts as the tooth root, providing a firm foundation. The abutment connects the screw to the crown, which is crafted to match your natural teeth in size, shape, and color. This advanced dental procedure not only restores your smile but also prevents bone loss in your jaw, a common issue that arises from missing teeth.

The Dental Implants Treatment Process

Initial Consultation

The first step towards getting dental implants is an initial consultation with Dr. Viccaro or Dr. Lo at Rochelle Dental. In this comprehensive examination, they will evaluate your oral health, assess the condition of your jawbone, and discuss your dental goals. They'll also take digital X-rays or 3D scans to get a detailed view of your mouth. This step is crucial in determining whether dental implants are the right solution for you.

Implant Placement

If you're a suitable candidate for dental implants, the next step is the surgical placement of the titanium screw into your jawbone. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. The screw, acting as the new root, will gradually fuse with your bone over a few months in a process known as osseointegration. This gives your dental implant its strength and stability.

Crown Placement

Once the implant has fully integrated with your jawbone, the final step is the placement of the dental crown. The crown is custom-made to match your natural teeth in color, size, and shape, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile. The crown is attached to the implant via the abutment, completing your smile restoration.

The Benefits Of Dental Implants

Improved Appearance and Confidence

Dental implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They restore your smile, improving your facial aesthetics and boosting your self-confidence. Unlike dentures, they don't slip or click, providing you with a secure, comfortable fit.

Enhanced Oral Health

Dental implants help to preserve your oral health by preventing bone loss in the jaw, a common issue associated with missing teeth. By replacing the tooth root, dental implants stimulate the jawbone, promoting healthy bone growth.

Long-Lasting Solution

With proper care and regular dental visits, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run. They're resistant to decay and don't require any special cleaning procedures, just regular brushing and flossing.
