signs you need dental implants

If you are missing teeth and are looking for a permanent restorative solution, dental implants may be the best option. Dental implants replace missing teeth with artificial ones that function and look just like real teeth. However, it can be difficult to know if you need them or not. Here are some signs that you may need dental implants:

You have one or several missing teeth: If you’ve lost a tooth or multiple teeth due to injury, decay, or disease, then dental implants may be the best solution for replacing those teeth. 

Your remaining natural teeth are shifting: When there is a gap between your teeth it can cause them to shift and become misaligned, leading to further dental problems. Dental implants can help fill in the gap and prevent your teeth from shifting. 

You have difficulty chewing: When you are missing a tooth it can make it difficult to chew food properly. Replacing your missing tooth with a dental implant will allow you to properly chew food without difficulty.

You have an uncomfortable denture: Dentures can often be uncomfortable, and if you are missing multiple teeth then dental implants may be a better solution for replacing your teeth than a removable denture. 

The dental implant process

If you think you may need dental implants, your dentist can help you determine if they are the right option for you. The process of getting dental implants typically involves a few steps:

Initial consultations and exams: During this appointment, your dentist will evaluate your oral health and discuss whether or not dental implants are the best course of action. 

Imaging: Your dentist may take X-rays or CT scans to further evaluate your oral health and the bone structure of your jaw. 

Surgery: Depending on your dental situation, you may need a minor surgical procedure to insert the implant into your mouth. 

Healing period: After the implant is placed, you will need to wait for it to heal and integrate with your jawbone before the final restoration can be completed.

Final Restoration: Once the implant has healed, your dentist will attach a crown or bridge to replace the missing tooth.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is a dental implant?

    A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in place. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

  • Are dental implants safe?

    Yes, dental implants are very safe and are highly successful with proper care. Dental implant surgery is performed by experienced and qualified professionals. Your dentist or oral surgeon will see that the procedure is done correctly to ensure a successful outcome.

  • What is involved in getting a dental implant?

    The first step in getting a dental implant is to consult with your dentist or oral surgeon. During this consultation, you and your dentist or surgeon will discuss the best approach for your particular case. X-rays may be taken to get an accurate view of the area and plan the procedure. Depending on where you are having the surgery, it may be done in your dentist’s office or at a hospital. After the implant is placed, you must wait for it to heal before the replacement tooth can be attached. 

  • How long do dental implants last?

    Dental implants are designed to last for 15+ years with proper care. The success rate of implants is very high and they can often last a lifetime. However, it is important to follow your dentist’s instructions for care and maintenance in order to maximize the life of your implant. 

  • Are there any risks associated with dental implants?

    As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with dental implants. These can include infection at the site of the implant, damage to nearby teeth or nerves, and loosening of the implant over time. Your dentist can discuss these risks in more detail during your consultation. 

  • Are there any special instructions for caring for dental implants?

    Yes, it is important to follow your dentist’s instructions for caring for your dental implants. This includes brushing and flossing twice daily, as well as scheduling regular check-ups and cleanings. It is also important to avoid habits that may put too much pressure on the implant such as chewing hard foods or ice cubes.
