Dental implants are often one of the best options if you are missing one or more of your teeth. Dental implants can help preserve the underlying bone that supports your tooth. Without an implant, this bone can deteriorate.
At the office of Dr. David Yasuda, we will work with you to determine what dental treatment is right for your oral health and goals. Call our dental office today to schedule an initial consultation and see if you could benefit from dental implant restorations.
How Do They Work?
This treatment consists of small, titanium posts used to replace the root of your missing tooth. A surgical procedure places the implant, and once it has healed, we can then top it with a natural-looking crown. This crown is customized to match your surrounding teeth. Implants have a success rate of over 95 percent!
Once it is in place, an implant acts very much like your natural tooth, providing the support you need to eat and talk. When you fill the gaps in your smile with implants, you are also sparing your other teeth from damage.
Dental Implant Procedure
Once we determine that you are a viable candidate to receive dental implants, Dr. Yasuda will be happy to recommend a trusted nearby specialist who can handle the surgical portion of your implant procedure. Once your mouth has successfully healed, you will return to our office so that we can design beautiful, new restorations, completing the process.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The benefits of dental implants are numerous and varied. First, you will enjoy an improved appearance. This is because when you lose teeth, your jawbone can shrink, making your face look older. Dental implants can prevent this from happening. Here are some of the most common perks of dental implants:
- Reduced facial wrinkles. When the jaw no longer gets stimulation from tooth roots it begins to weaken and shrivel, giving your chin an older appearance. With a strong jaw, you will look youthful and vibrant once again.
- Strengthened jaw. This affects not only your appearance but can help reduce the risk of TMJ disorder or lockjaw. When your jaw is strong, you will experience less pain and have fewer complications.
- Restored tooth function. Get back to eating the food you love with the help of dental implants. You will be able to eat without worrying about food getting trapped in the gap. This will increase your self-confidence and improve your quality of life.
- Improved oral health. When you have a missing tooth, the site is susceptible to infection, food, bacteria, and saliva can build up in that area causing your oral health to suffer. With dental implants, the site is sealed and bacteria cannot continue to grow.
- Longevity. This treatment is permanent, once you get a dental implant you will not have to worry about going back to a missing tooth. The dental crown may need to be replaced over time but the dental implant will last a lifetime.
In addition, you will enjoy greater comfort and restored function, making it easier to chew and talk. Finally, dental implants help you avoid the inconvenience and embarrassment that can be associated with full or partial dentures.
