Benefits of Dental Implants

- Looks natural. Dental implants look natural and are indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
- Makes your smile whole. Your dental implants can make your smile whole. If you feel self-conscious about your missing tooth, your dental implant can help fix the problem.
- Can last a lifetime. With proper care, your dental implant can last a lifetime. See the dentist twice each year for checkups and to help keep your other teeth healthy.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Implants?
You’re a good candidate for dental implants if you have healthy teeth and sufficient jaw to support the installation of an implant. If your jaw has lost volume or density, your dentist may suggest a bone graft to build up your jaw volume to support a dental implant.
Why Get Dental Implants?
Dental implants restore your mouth and make your smile whole again. Unlike other types of prosthetic teeth, dental implants also help stimulate the jaw, which can help keep it healthy.
Dental Implants Frequently Asked Questions
Do dental implants look natural?
Yes, dental implants look natural. Your dentist will match the color of your dental implant to your other teeth. Once the implant post and abutment is inserted in your jaw, the dentist will also order a crown custom-made to fit in your mouth. The crown will be made to fit perfectly in the space where your new tooth should fit.
How are dental implants maintained?
Maintaining your dental implant is easy. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss once each day. Your dentist will show you how to floss around your dental implant. Use non-abrasive toothpaste to brush your dental implant, because abrasive toothpaste can scratch your tooth. See the dentist twice each year for dental checkups.
Can I whiten my dental implant?
Unfortunately, dental implants can’t be whitened. Whitening your dental implant will not affect its color, but will cause your natural teeth to become white, which could lead your dental implant and natural teeth to be mismatched.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last your entire life, if you take care of them.
How long does it take to get dental implants?
Dental implants are installed over the course of several appointments. How long it takes to get dental implants depends on the health of your jaw and whether you need bone grafting. For many people, getting dental implants takes about five months or more.
