What is it?

A dental implant is a titanium alloy post that is screwed into the jaw bone where a tooth is missing. It can replace missing teeth, help secure dental appliances, and provide the strongest form of a tooth replacement that lasts a lifetime.

  • Benefits

    Aside from its longevity, durability and likeness to original teeth, dental implants serve a structural purpose. When missing teeth go untreated, your mouth will try to close the gaps. This shifting causes the jaw to deteriorate, leading to functionality and aesthetic issues. Since the post of the dental implant acts as the root of your new tooth, it keeps the jaw intact and fully functional.

    Dental implants do not require much special care or maintenance. Single-tooth restorations with dental crowns, for example, only require you to brush and floss your teeth normally to keep them healthy. It is also important to continue to come and see the team at Dreier Family Dental every six months for a checkup and cleaning.

    Unlike any other type of dental restoration, dental implants transmit the force of biting and chewing into your gums and jaw. This, in turn, prevents bone loss and resorption, which is a common issue among those who suffer from tooth loss

  • implants vs dentures

    While both dentures and dental implants replace missing teeth and visually create a more aesthetically pleasing smile, there are some key differences between the two options.

    Dentures are usually more affordable upfront, but will likely need replacement within 5-10 years. It is important to consider both long term value and upfront cost when considering which treatment may be right for you. Full dentures also require the removal of most or all of your remaining teeth, so if you are only missing one or two teeth dental implants may be a more conservative option. Whenever we can, we recommend preserving your natural teeth to keep your mouth and jaw bone as healthy as possible. Unlike dental implants, dentures do not preserve your existing jaw bone structure.

    Before making a decision about what tooth replacement option may be right for you, it is important to discuss your options with your doctor. They will explain your individual oral health needs and help you get back to your optimal oral health. Plus, our knowledgeable team is always happy to explain your financing options and walk you through the payment process. If you are missing teeth, schedule your consultation today!
