The Answer to Missing Teeth

A Comfortable, Permanent Answer to Tooth Loss

Dental Implants

Millions of people are missing one or more teeth. The results of missing teeth can be devastating because of a lost ability to chew, diminished self-confidence, and other oral health effects. The effects of tooth loss can be resolved, though, with dental implants.

Historically, the only way to restore function to your smile with missing teeth has been with dentures or partial dentures. If you’ve worn either, you know they’re often a solution that comes with unpleasant side effects such as discomfort, slippage, and more. Thankfully, there is a better solution: dental implants!

Dental implants are a denture alternative that better protects your health. Whether you’re missing a few, most, or all of your teeth, dental implants offer solutions for each scenario. These solutions come in several different forms, and the biggest benefits patients notice are the comfort, full chewing ability, and natural-looking appearance.

Unlike dentures, dental implants are not removable. Replacement teeth and crowns are made to perfectly match the rest of your natural smile, and they perform just like any of your natural teeth. Maintenance and care for dental implants is easy too—brushing, flossing, and regularly scheduled professional dental cleanings and evaluations—just like teeth!

Root Form Dental Implants

A Permanent Tooth-Loss Solution

The root form dental implant is the most common type of dental implant. It includes a post that is implanted directly into the jawbone under local anesthesia. After the dentist places the implant, it usually takes three to six months for it to fuse with the jawbone and for the gums to heal fully. Once the implant has healed, Dr. Alhadef can uncover it and cement the replacement tooth in place. The replacement tooth is a crown prosthetic that mimics the shape, size, and look of a real tooth.

Root form implants are used when the jawbone is healthy and thick. If the jawbone has deteriorated, or has lost density, other options may be better.

Am I a dental implant candidate? What type of dental implant is right for me?
For the most part, if you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants are the right choice for you. The only person that can determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants is a qualified cosmetic dentist like Dr. Alhadef. He will evaluate your jawbone and your dental health to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants.

The longer you’ve gone without teeth and without a tooth replacement, the higher chance that your jawbone has deteriorated to some degree. In certain cases, the jawbone has deteriorated so much that a section of it must be enhanced with an artificial, custom-made jawbone, or bone graft. Patients rarely need this type of dental implant and are typically fine candidates for root form or plate form dental implants, but a thorough evaluation is the best way to know what’s ideal for you.

There are clear benefits to dental implants.
Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth. This is because they replace the entire tooth—including the root—not just the visible portion of the tooth. By doing this, dental implants can prevent bone loss, gum disease, and tooth decay better than other cosmetic dentistry solutions. After the dental implant has integrated into your jawbone in a biological process called osseointegration, your new prosthetic teeth will feel stable and durable, and your smile will be fully functional and beautiful again.
