Dental Implants

Who Needs Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an excellent option for individuals who:

• Have one or more missing teeth.
• Want a permanent alternative to dentures or bridges.
• Have sufficient jawbone density to support the implant.
• Are looking for a natural and long-lasting solution.

If you’re unsure about your eligibility, our team at Smile Dental Brandon will conduct a comprehensive examination to determine if dental implants are right for you.

The Dental Implant Process

1. Initial Consultation:
   We begin with a detailed assessment, including x-rays, to evaluate your jawbone and oral health. Our team will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

2. Implant Placement:
   The titanium implant is surgically placed into your jawbone. The procedure is done under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort.

3. Healing Period:
   The implant needs time to fuse with the jawbone (usually 3–6 months) to provide a solid foundation for your new tooth.

4. Placement of the Crown:
   Once the implant is fully integrated, a custom-made crown is securely attached to the implant. The crown is designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless result.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options:

• Permanent Solution: Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care.
• Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel just like natural teeth.
• Improved Functionality: Enjoy eating your favorite foods without worry. Implants restore full chewing power.
• Prevents Bone Loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone deterioration caused by missing teeth.
• No Slipping or Discomfort: Unlike dentures, implants are securely fixed, ensuring no shifting or slipping.
• Preserve Adjacent Teeth: Implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support, unlike dental bridges.
