What are dental implants?
Discover the transformative power of dental implants—surgically placed artificial tooth roots that seamlessly replicate the natural look and function of teeth. Our expert dental services offer comprehensive implant solutions designed to restore your smile with unmatched precision and care. Each implant comprises three components: the implant secured in your jawbone, the abutment linking the implant to the new tooth, and the restoration itself, your natural-looking new tooth.
Choose from a range of restoration options tailored to your needs:
- Crowns: Perfectly replace a single missing tooth with a solution that is both natural and durable.
- Bridges: Replace multiple missing teeth with a series of interconnected replacement teeth supported by implants.
- Dentures: Regain full confidence with implant-supported dentures that ensure stability and comfort for entire arches of teeth.
Dental Implant Preparation
You may need pretreatments if your mouth isn't healthy enough to support dental implants. We collaborate with a specialist who performs these procedures to help prepare your mouth for implant placement. These pretreatments include:
- Extraction: While saving your natural tooth is our top priority, if too much damage or decay has occurred, we may extract it to make room for your implant.
- Bone graft: When there's not enough bone to support an implant, a bone graft is performed to build up the area for better implant placement.
- Sinus lift: If there's insufficient bone in your upper jaw, a sinus lift procedure raises the sinus floor and adds bone to make room for an implant.
Our Sunnyvale Dental Implant Process
You will discover the path to a restored smile with our comprehensive implant dentistry process. Begin with a personalized consultation where our skilled dentist evaluates your oral health and discusses your unique treatment objectives. We'll assess the condition of your jawbone to ensure it can support an implant. Should any preliminary treatments be needed, we collaborate with specialists to prepare your jaw for the procedure.
Following preparation, an experienced specialist places the implant into your jawbone with precision. Over the ensuing months, the implant integrates with your bone through a natural process known as osseointegration, forming a durable and permanent foundation. Once healed, return to our office to receive your final restoration, expertly attached to the implant, to complete your transformed smile. Enjoy renewed functionality and the confidence of a beautifully restored smile.
Dental Implant FAQ's
Discover the answers to all your dental implant queries with us! Our dedicated team is prepared to respond to your inquiries and provide reassurance during your treatment. Here are some frequently asked questions about our dental implants:
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
\Generally, anyone who has lost one or more teeth due to injury, periodontal disease, or other reasons may be a good candidate for dental implants. It is important to have enough bone in the jaw to support the implant and healthy gums.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. This includes regular brushing and flossing, as well as visiting the dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings.
What can I expect during the recovery period?
During the first few days after surgery, it is normal to experience some discomfort and swelling in the implant area. Your dentist will prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection. It is important to follow all post-operative instructions carefully, including keeping the surgical site clean, avoiding hard or chewy foods, and not smoking.
Can dental implants fail?
While dental implants are considered a highly successful procedure with a success rate of over 95%, there is still a small risk of failure. Factors that can contribute to implant failure include poor oral hygiene, smoking, certain medical conditions such as diabetes or cancer, medications that interfere with bone healing, and insufficient bone density in the jaw.
How can I prevent implant failure?
To minimize the risk of implant failure, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. It is also important to attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings to ensure that the implants are in good condition. Quitting smoking, if you are a smoker, can greatly improve your chances of successful implant surgery.
