What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are biocompatible restorations that mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. Implants are essentially artificial tooth roots that, when anchored into the bone, are strong enough to support permanent restorations like crowns, bridges, and dentures.

What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

1.

Natural Appearance

Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. The crowns are custom-made to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless integration with your smile.

2.

Durability

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium used in implants is biocompatible, meaning it’s accepted by your body and integrates well with your bone tissue.

3.

Improved Oral Health

Unlike traditional bridges that require reducing adjacent teeth, dental implants don’t affect your natural teeth. They also help maintain your jawbone’s integrity, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth.

4.

Enhanced Comfort

Because dental implants become part of your jawbone, they offer a stable and comfortable fit. There’s no slipping or shifting as can happen with dentures, making eating and speaking easier and more comfortable.

Studies have shown a success rate of over 95% for the implant restoration process.

Why are Implants So Successful?

Unlike other types of dental restorations, dental implants are permanently supported by your bone, similar to natural teeth. Because bone structures fuse with the surface of the implant’s biocompatible design, the restoration becomes a permanent part of your new smile. Implants have the highest success rate of any modern dental restoration.

Dental Implants Procedure: What to Expect

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our experienced dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your smile goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. This may involve X-rays or a CT scan to evaluate your jawbone. We’ll then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Implant Placement

During this phase, a small titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone. The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. A healing period of several months follows, allowing the implant to fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration.

Healing Period

After the implant is placed, a crucial healing period begins. This phase, called osseointegration, allows the implant to fuse with the surrounding bone tissue, creating a strong and stable foundation for your new teeth. During this time, your jawbone grows around the implant, securing it in place and ensuring its long-term success.

Restoration Attachment

Once the implant has fully integrated, we’ll attach an abutment to the post. This serves as a connector for your custom-made restoration (crown, bridge, or denture). Your restoration will be meticulously crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, completing your smile and restoring full functionality.

Am I A Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults with good oral and general health are candidates for dental implants. Ideal candidates should have sufficient jawbone density to support the implants. If you suffer from gum disease or significant bone loss, additional treatments such as bone grafting may be necessary before implant placement. During your consultation, our highly skilled dentist in Oxnard, will evaluate your specific circumstances to determine if dental implants are right for you.

Dental Implants FAQs

If you have any questions about dental implants, we’ve got answers.

Are dental implants safe?

Yes. Implants are biocompatible and hypoallergenic, making them naturally attractive to your bone tissues.

Can implants help if I already wear a full or partial denture?

Absolutely. You can upgrade from a denture to dental implants at any time.

Is an implant better than getting a dental bridge?

Yes. Since implants are non-invasive to adjacent teeth, they help preserve natural tooth structures.

Is dental implant treatment painful?

The implant procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the surgery. Some discomfort and swelling are normal after the procedure, but these can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs.

Definition of common dental implants terminology

Abutment: The abutment is the connector piece between a dental implant and the crown.

Osseointegration: Osseointegration is the process by which your dental implant bonds and integrates with the surrounding bone.

Titanium: This is a strong metal that is often used for implants. It is also the same material used to make airplane wings, so you know it is very strong. This metal is also lightweight, which makes it perfect for implants.

Bone Graft: A dental bone graft is a procedure to add more bone in a part of the jaw where bone has been lost or where additional support is needed.

Dental Crown: A crown is an artificial tooth-shaped “cap” that is placed over the top of the implant to provide an aesthetically pleasing and fully-functional tooth.
