What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a type of dental restoration that replaces a missing tooth. It consists of a titanium implant body, an abutment, and a dental crown that looks and acts just like a natural tooth.

At Las Vegas Aesthetic Dentistry, our skilled team offers dental implants to patients who have a gap caused by a missing tooth, need a tooth extraction, or are looking for alternatives to dentures or bridges. During your consultation, we will assess your dental health and determine if you are a good candidate for a dental implant.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a popular dental restoration because they provide stunning, reliable, and permanent results. The implant fuses with the jawbone, creating several advantages over other types of restorative options, including the following.

Improves Cosmetic Appearance

A dental implant is customized to fit your smile, matching the size, shape, and shade of your natural teeth. As a result, you will have a full, balanced, and more even smile you will want to show off.

Restores Chewing Ability

A missing tooth can have a significant impact on your ability to bite and chew food, which can also affect your diet and social life. By replacing the tooth with a durable dental implant, you restore that functionality and can return to eating the foods you love.

Prevents Bone Loss in the Jaw

When you chew, tooth roots stimulate the gums and jaw, keeping them healthy and strong. Without the tooth, the jawbone can deteriorate and affect your facial structure and dental health. A dental implant works much like a natural tooth because the implant body is anchored in the jaw and fuses to the bone over time.

Stabilizes Surrounding Teeth

Gaps in your smile might not seem like a big deal initially. However, as time goes on, the surrounding teeth may start to shift or become loose. Teeth can become misaligned and affect your bite and gum health. When you get a dental implant, it fills the gap and prevents other teeth from moving around.

Helps With Some Speech Issues

Missing teeth can sometimes cause difficulties with speaking and pronunciation, mainly if the gaps are in the front of the mouth. Dental implants can restore your smile and improve many of these speech issues.

Boosts Confidence

Your smile is often the first feature people notice about you. Missing teeth can make you self-conscious and keep you from smiling, socializing, or feeling good about yourself. With a natural-looking dental implant, patients often feel a confidence boost that impacts multiple areas of their lives.

Requires No Special Care or Maintenance

Dental implants do not require any special care or maintenance. Just be sure to brush and floss as recommended and see your dentist for regular cleanings to maintain your new smile.

Are There Special Considerations with Dental Implants?

While dental implants are an excellent restorative treatment for many patients, there are some factors to consider, such as:

● Oral surgery is necessary to place the implant

● Implant placement requires multiple sessions with the dentist

● The implant body may fail to fuse with the jawbone

● There is a minimal risk of dental damage during the implant procedure

● You may need a dental bone graft before placing the implant

Dr. Tati will go over all the benefits and risks of dental implants to help you make the most informed decision for your needs. During your consultation, you will also have a chance to ask questions and learn more about the placement process and what to expect after dental implant surgery.

What Is the Process to Get Dental Implants?

Because a dental implant is a permanent dental restoration, several steps are required to complete treatment.

Dental health evaluation. We will determine if your jaw and mouth are healthy enough for the procedure. In some cases, we will need to treat existing dental issues prior to dental implant placement.
Implant post placement. If you are approved for a dental implant, the first step is to place the implant body into the jawbone. Follow your after-care instructions carefully to promote healing and avoid complications.
Dental implant fusion. After the titanium body is implanted in the jaw, it will take several weeks to months for the implant to fuse with the jawbone successfully.
Crown placement. When fusion is confirmed, we will place the permanent crown on the implant abutment to complete the process.
Follow up. We may schedule a follow-up appointment to check on your dental implants and ensure everything works as it should.

Las Vegas Aesthetic Dentistry offers several sedation options to help you feel relaxed, comfortable, and pain-free during the dental implant procedure. Contact us to learn about sedation dentistry in Las Vegas and how it can help you get the dental care you need.

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

The only way to know if you are a good candidate for dental implants is to speak with a dentist who has experience with implants and other dental restorations. Generally, dental implants work best for people who:

● Have healthy gums

● Have good overall health

● Do not smoke

● Have a strong jawbone to anchor the implant

● Practice good oral hygiene

● Are an adult with a fully developed jawbone

If you qualify, a dental implant could be the solution you need to get your smile back on track. Our team also offers other cosmetic dentistry options, including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and Invisalign, to help you reach your smile makeover goals.
