Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium “root replacements” that permanently restore missing teeth. They function like natural teeth, preserving adjacent structures, ensuring high success rates, and allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Dental implants restore chewing function and offer a stable foundation for prosthetic teeth, providing a reliable alternative to dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort.

The Process of Receiving Dental Implants

Receiving dental implants at Advanced Dental involves a thorough assessment, placement of the titanium implant in the jawbone, and attachment of a custom crown, ensuring a natural look and optimal functionality.

Initial Consultation

During the initial consultation, we evaluate your dental health, discuss options, and create a personalized treatment plan for dental implants.

Treatment Planning

You will meet with our treatment coordinator to create a customized plan that outlines the steps, timelines, and specific procedures for your dental implants.

Implant Placement

During implant placement, a titanium post is carefully inserted into the jawbone, serving as a strong foundation for your new tooth.

Final Restoration

The final restoration involves placing the custom crown on the abutment, completing your dental implant and restoring your smile’s functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our FAQs cover essential questions about the procedure, benefits, recovery, and care, providing you with the information needed for informed decisions.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. They support crowns, bridges, or dentures, restoring the function and appearance of missing teeth.

Who is a candidate for dental implants?

Most adults with missing teeth and sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. A consultation with your dentist will determine your eligibility based on oral health and medical history.

What is the process for getting dental implants?

The process typically involves an initial consultation, treatment planning, implant placement, and final restoration with a custom crown or prosthesis. This may take several months to complete.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last many years, often a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for their longevity.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The entire process can take several months, as it includes healing time after implant placement. Osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the jawbone, typically takes a few months.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants restore function, improve appearance, preserve jawbone structure, and eliminate the need for removable dentures. They also enhance confidence and quality of life.

I know it will give you confidence and a wonderful feeling when you smile because it does to me. Dr. Crivello and his staff make you feel at ease.”
