Why Choose Dental Implants?

Although today’s patients enjoy a range of quality tooth replacement options, dental implants offer several key benefits. Including for the way they improve your smile and support your long term oral and overall health. Dental implants replace both the crown part of the tooth and the roots. This will help stabilize the bite and the bone structure of the jaw. This plays an important role in the long term health of existing natural teeth or the shape of the jaw if the implants are securing a denture.

Dental implants also offer:

Permanent, secure restorations
NO need for the use of a daily adhesive or cleaning of a denture or partial
Ability to speak with confidence
Ability to enjoy your favorite foods- no dietary restrictions
Does not require reduction of any healthy teeth
Can last a lifetime if cared for properly
Has a high rate of success and satisfaction
Will function similar to natural teeth

During your consult, your dentist will examine your smile and discuss your goals. They will also talk about how dental implants will improve your oral health and quality of life. The dentist will create a treatment plan that is based on your needs and goals. We will discuss all your options and the costs.

The Implant Process

The dental implant process can take several months, sometimes up to a year. If you require major dental work before the implant placement, the treatment time will take longer. After your dentist places the implants, they need about three to six months to heal. During this time, they will fuse with the surrounding bone in the jaw.

The next step is to attach the abutment and take impressions. The impressions will be used to fabricate your permanent dental restoration. About two to three weeks later, we will be able to place your new dental restoration.

Dental implants consist of three main components: then implant post, an abutment and a custom dental crown. The implanted post is made of titanium and surgically placed in healthy bone tissue, where it integrates with the jaw over a period of 3-6 months.

Once healed, the post serves as a root replacement, which stabilizes the dental crown that will be attached much like your natural tooth root. The post is what makes implants unique and allows them to support better long term health and aesthetics. When tooth roots are lost, changes slowly occur in the jaw structure which can allow any existing teeth to shift and the outer appearance to become more sunken.

The dental crown, once attached to the post provides a strong, secure biting surface for normal function when chewing and speaking.

Cost of treatment is understandably a major concern for patients. Dr. Weinstock will provide details of treatment cost and timing when presenting your treatment plan. The cost of treatment is dependent on the number of implants and the need for additonal treatment to address other problems that could affect the outcome.

When compared to more traditional options, dental implants are often more costly up front. However, taking into consideration the long term durability and lack of routine maintenance required, patients often feel the long term costs are similar.

Dental implants, when placed by an experinced dentist with training in implant dentistry, can last for 20 years- or more. Daily oral hygiene and regular preventive dental care will support the longevity of your implants and provide the opportunity to address small concerns early.
