What Are Dental Implants?
Dealing with unsalvageable teeth is crucial to the general wellness and appearance of your smile. At Kaceli Dental Studio, Dr. Monika Kaceli and her skilled professionals provide dental implant placement as a modern solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a secure and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures or bridges. Dental implants are small posts made of titanium or similar biocompatible materials. These posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they act as artificial tooth roots, creating a stable base for replacement teeth like crowns, bridges, or dentures. One of the standout features of dental implants is their versatility. They can replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch of teeth. Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place, giving you the freedom to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Schedule a consultation at our Norwood, MA practice to learn more about the dental implant placement process.
What Is the Dental Implant Placement Process?
Understanding the process for dental implants can ease any concerns and help you prepare for treatment. Each dental implant placement procedure is tailored to meet each patient's specific needs, but the steps generally include an initial consultation to assess your oral health and determine your eligibility for dental implants. Imaging, like x-rays or CT scans, may be used to evaluate the jawbone's condition. A personalized treatment plan then is created, outlining the number of implants needed and any preparatory steps, such as bone grafting or tooth extractions. Next, implant posts are surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. After surgery, the jawbone begins to fuse with the implants. This healing period, known as osseointegration, typically takes a few months. Once the implants have integrated with the bone, small connectors called abutments are attached. These will hold the replacement teeth — custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures — securely in place. These restorations will complete your smile and are designed to match your natural teeth in color and shape.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants provide more than just a way to replace missing teeth. They offer lasting benefits that improve your oral health and quality of life. The top reasons why Norwood, MA-area patients consider dental implants from Kaceli Dental Studio include:
- Natural appearance: Implants are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Enhanced comfort: Unlike removable dentures, implants feel like a natural part of your mouth.
- Improved functionality: Eat your favorite foods without worry or discomfort.
- Jawbone preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone and prevent bone loss.
- Longevity: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
- Improved speech: Speak clearly and confidently without the fear of dentures slipping.
- Convenience: Maintain your implants easily with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
