What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are durable, long-lasting restorations used to replace missing teeth. They can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or full arches. A dental implant consists of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a replacement for the tooth root and providing a stable foundation for the restoration.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous advantages for patients seeking to restore their smiles:

• Improved Functionality: Regain the ability to eat and speak comfortably with a secure and stable restoration.

• Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to match your natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s aesthetics.

• Jawbone Health: Prevent bone loss and maintain jaw structure by stimulating the bone through the implant post.

• Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, offering a permanent solution to missing teeth.

The Dental Implant Process

1. Consultation and Planning: Dr. Alathari will assess your oral health and determine if dental implants suit you. We will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. A healing period follows to allow the bone to bond with the post.

3. Restoration Placement: Once the healing period is complete, the custom dental restoration—such as a crown, bridge, or denture—is attached to the implant post, completing your smile.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an excellent treatment choice for individuals with missing teeth who want to improve their smile’s function and appearance. Factors influencing candidacy include oral health, bone density, and overall health. During your consultation, Dr. Alathari will evaluate your specific needs and determine the best course of action.
