These titanium posts serve as the basis for crowns, bridges, and dentures by replacing the root of a missing tooth or teeth.
Hundreds of patients have benefited from implant-based tooth replacement without having to deal with uncomfortable removable dentures or harm neighboring teeth. They make chewing more comfortable and prevent neighboring teeth from moving.
Their ability to gradually fuse with the jawbone to form a stable and permanent fixture is what makes them fascinating. This guarantees that the implant will behave and feel just like a real tooth.
Advantages of dental implants:

- Enhanced self-confidence.
- Avoid further bone loss.
- Do not harm adjacent teeth.
- Can be cleaned like natural teeth.

FAQ
Will the implant procedure cause excruciating pain?
Most implants are inserted using a standard local anesthetic used in dentistry. Even though the local anesthetic injections can sting a little, we have procedures in place that use warm anesthetic and extremely thin needles to lessen the pain. You won’t experience any sharp or painful sensations during your treatment once you’re numb. Throughout the procedure, you will experience some pushing and pressing as well as some vibration during the drilling stage. However, these sensations won’t be sharp or painful in any way, and your emergency dentist will make sure you are completely numb before beginning any surgery.
Do I qualify for implants?
Implants are a great option for patients of all ages who are missing one or more teeth as a result of decay, disease, or trauma. For patients who are no longer able to wear removable dentures, they are very useful. Following a thorough assessment of your dental and medical history, your dentist can decide if you are a candidate for dental implants.
What would happen if I decide against getting my missing teeth replaced?
Throughout our lives, we may lose teeth for a variety of reasons. A noticeable empty space left by missing front teeth can impact your appearance, self-esteem, and speech. Other teeth move into the empty space left by a lost tooth. Your face may change shape and you may appear older than you actually are if you lose your back teeth because the jawbone starts to shrink.
For what duration will the implant last?
An implant should last a lifetime if the integration goes well and the area is properly maintained with routine checks and evaluations.
Similar to how a tooth can chip, so can a tooth crown or bridge on implants. Occasionally, the outer screw covering the implants can come loose, but this is easily fixed. In addition to your routine dental check-ups, you should get yearly reviews with x-rays to assess the bone levels surrounding the implants.
What is the cost of dental implants?

Does insurance cover dental implants?
