Are you missing teeth? That doesn’t mean you’ll have to live with a lost tooth for the rest of your life. Dental implants are a modern tooth-replacement option that many people consider the best option for repairing their smile.
Cin Dental offers a full range of restorative dentistry services, including dental crowns, bridges, and dental implants. Whether you need a single tooth replaced or a complete mouth restoration, we can handle it. Come in for a consultation if you’d like to learn more.
Dental Implants have a structure similar to that of a natural tooth. The implant can include a crown or a bridge. We can also use dental implants to anchor dentures, so you won’t have to use messy adhesives to keep them in place.
The implant is a small, grooved titanium post inserted into your jawbone and looks like a screw. It functions like a tooth’s root, connecting the restoration to the implant and giving it a toothlike appearance. The type of implant you receive will be determined by the number of teeth you would like to replace.
Because we need to allow the implant to merge with the bone, the procedure requires several visits. The healing process usually takes around six to twelve weeks. That may seem like a long time, but it’s necessary to ensure the post is firm and secure, the area remains healthy, and your implants last a lifetime.
Dental implants are a very popular restorative and cosmetic dental option for various reasons:
Yes, a lost tooth can affect your smile, but there’s more to it than that. When a tooth is missing, it can cause the neighboring teeth to drift out of position, resulting in overcrowding. Many people are also unaware that teeth stimulate and maintain the jawbone’s health, so when they are absent, the bone might begin to deteriorate. Not replacing your teeth can also make your face appear sunken and make you appear much older than you are.
To have a dental implant, you must have good overall oral health and sufficient bone density to sustain the implant. If you aren’t ready, we can help with bone graft surgery to boost your chances of receiving healthy dental implants. Coming in for a consultation is the only way to determine if you’re a good candidate for implants. The dentists at Cin Dental would be happy to discuss whether dental implants are a good fit for you.
One of the best things about dental implants is that they do not require you to alter your at-home oral healthcare routine or follow unusual instructions for their care. Brush, floss, and rinse them the same way you do the rest of your teeth. Remember to come in for your regular dental checkups every six months as well. These checkups ensure that your dental implants will last a long time.
Many aspects affect cost. For example, the number of teeth you are missing, which teeth you want to replace, and the restoration style used. We’ll discuss which options are best for you, your smile, and your budget when you come in for a consultation. We’ll make sure to provide you with an exact cost estimate, so there are no unpleasant surprises later. We also offer a variety of financing options to help with your budget.
We look forward to helping you achieve a new smile. Don’t hesitate to call and schedule an appointment.
