Questions:
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small posts, usually made out of titanium that are used as a substitute for the root of a tooth. They are inserted into your jawbone, and once healed, a crown, bridge, or dentures can be attached, fabricated to match your natural teeth.
How long will it take?
Treatment for dental implants take about 3 to 6 months. Most of this time is spent waiting for the bone to fuse to the implant. Complex cases may take longer.
What are the advantages of dental implants?
Dental implants can replace single or multiple teeth. They can last a lifetime, fix your smile, improve your confidence, and allow you to eat more easily. Since dental implants are made from titanium, they will never decay!
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Dental implants are great options for those who are missing one or more teeth. However, patients with chronic diseases and those who smoke and drink heavily, should talk to their doctor first.
Are dental implants as strong as natural teeth?
Implants are just as strong, if not stronger, than your natural teeth. They provide full functionality, so you can eat all the foods you love once again.
Are dental implants safe?
For over half a century, dentist have been carrying out dental implant procedures. As with any medical procedure, there could be complications, but the team at Emerald Coast Smiles by Design has the experience needed to skillfully carry out these procedures.
Does it hurt to get dental implants?
Often times, patients return to work and their regular daily activities the next day. There may be some swelling and bruising, however, this only lasts a short time and as long as you follow the instructions for home care, you should be back to yourself in no time.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Just as you would take care of your natural teeth, you should brush, floss, and receive regular cleanings when you have dental implants.
How long will implants last?
As long as you take care of them properly, maintain good oral health, and clean them daily just like natural teeth, dental implants should last a lifetime.
