Dental Implants in Raynham, MA
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are surgically placed titanium posts that serve as the roots for missing teeth. At Taunton Cosmetic Dentistry, these implants are embedded directly into your jawbone, where they integrate with the bone over several months in a process known as osseointegration. This integration makes the implant stable and strong, providing a durable foundation for the replacement teeth (crowns) that will be attached later.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Choosing dental implants offers numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, enhancing both your smile and your chewing ability.
- Durability: Implants are a long-term solution and can last a lifetime with proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups
. - Bone Health: Unlike other tooth replacement methods, implants stimulate and preserve natural bone growth, which helps maintain the structure of your face and jaw.
- Improved Oral Health: Dental implants do not require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. This means more of your natural teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.
Convenience: Implants eliminate the inconvenience of removable dentures. They stay in place and do not require adhesives.
The Dental Implant Procedure Explained
- Initial Consultation: Dr. Shabana Chaudhry evaluates your oral health to tailor a treatment plan specifically for your needs.
- Implant Placement: The procedure begins with the placement of a titanium post under local anesthesia directly into the jawbone where the tooth is missing.
- Healing Process: The implant undergoes osseointegration, where it fuses with the natural bone over a period of weeks, creating a strong foundation.
- Abutment Placement: After healing, an abutment is attached to the implant. This piece serves as the link between the implant and the replacement tooth.
- Custom Crown Creation: A dental impression is made to ensure the new crown perfectly matches the shape and color of your natural teeth.
- Crown Fitting: The final step involves securely attaching the custom-made crown to the abutment, fully restoring your smile.
Caring for Your Dental ImplantsCaring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. To ensure the longevity of your implants, follow these guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Brush twice a day and floss daily. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
- Routine Dental Visits: Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings every six months.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Protect your implants by avoiding hard and sticky foods that can cause damage.
- No Smoking: Smoking can hinder the healing process and negatively affect the durability of your dental implants.
