At Coast Dental Group, we understand how important it is to restore missing teeth for both function and aesthetics. Dental implants are a highly effective, durable and natural-looking option for patients who have lost one or more teeth. By replacing missing teeth with dental implants, patients can enjoy a permanent solution that improves their oral health and enhances their smile.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Over time, the implant integrates with the bone, creating a strong and stable foundation for the attachment of a custom-made crown. This restoration mimics the appearance and function of a natural tooth, allowing patients to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Benefits of Dental Implants
There are several advantages to choosing dental implants for tooth replacement, including:
- Durability: Implants are designed to last for many years, often a lifetime, with proper care.
- Natural Appearance: The crown attached to the implant is customized to match the color, shape and size of your surrounding teeth, making it virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
- Preserving Jawbone Health: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing.
- Improved Function: Implants restore full chewing ability and do not slip or shift like removable dentures.
The Dental Implant Process
The dental implant process is typically completed over several months. During the first phase, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, Dr. Clara Nguyen will attach an abutment, which connects the implant to the final restoration. The final step involves placing a custom-made crown on the abutment, completing the restoration.
