How Can I Maximize My Dental Implant Treatment?
When you have healthy teeth, smiling, laughing, and eating are easy. Tooth loss, however, can make these simple pleasures of life a challenge. Enter dental implants. Implants look and function like natural teeth and can restore your smile to its original state. For customized implant treatment, we invite you to visit Dr. Andrew Perkins and Dr. Adam Tow of Cooper Dental Group in Ormond Beach, Florida.
What are dental implants, and how do they work?
Implants are actually small, titanium screws inserted into your jaw to take the place of lost tooth roots. Once in place, the implants fuse with your bone to create a platform to support replacement teeth. After the implants heal, we’ll attach abutments (connectors) and your new teeth, which could be a dental crown, fixed bridge, or implant dentures, depending on your oral needs. Dental implants, therefore, consist of titanium “tooth roots,” abutments, and replacement teeth – all of which work together to rebuild your smile.Â
What are the benefits of implants?
Implants are the next best thing to natural teeth because they have artificial tooth roots to give you a secure, stable smile. You can eat, laugh, talk, or sing without your teeth ever coming loose. Implants can replace any number of missing teeth, including your entire smile, if needed. Implant crowns and bridges are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth for a seamless appearance. Implant dentures are indistinguishable from natural teeth in how they look, function, and feel. Implants will fit in beautifully with your lifestyle, as it will be like having natural teeth again.
What is an All-on-4 implant treatment?
All-on-4 implant treatment allows us to replace an entire arch of upper or lower missing teeth with only four implants. This makes for a more cost-effective treatment and shorter recovery time.Â
Is getting implants painful?
No, getting implants isn’t painful. The entire procedure is done under anesthesia to prevent discomfort and pain. We also offer options for sedation to ease any anxiety or fear you may have about this treatment. Any temporary discomfort or pain felt after surgery can be relieved with OTC medication or ice compresses.
How can I maximize my dental implant treatment?
When you work with a skilled implant dentist, you increase your chances of having a positive, successful treatment. Good oral care after your treatment will keep your implants going strong for years. Like natural teeth, implants are cared for by brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings. Your diligence in caring for your new teeth will extend the lifespan of your treatment.Â
