Did you know that dental implants can provide a solution to tooth loss that can last for decades, sometimes a lifetime? What makes this possible? In today’s blog, your Omaha, NE, dentist talks about how we secure and restore your dental implants, and what makes them last much longer than bridges and removable dentures, so you can smile without hesitation again! Everyone deserves a full smile, and we are ready to make it happen with implant dentistry.
Removable vs. Implant Options
With removable bridges and dentures, your jaw ridge will change shape with time, as you don’t have tooth roots to stimulate the jawbone and ensure the flow of calcium and phosphorus doesn’t dry up. With dental implants, we insert biocompatible titanium posts that act like new roots. The body recognizes them as such, and the flow of calcium and phosphorus resumes to keep the smile intact. This means you have new teeth that can stay in place for decades to come, possibly a lifetime, and the risk of further tooth loss is reduced as well. But how do we secure your new and long-lasting dental implants?
Placing Your New Roots
To begin, our team will take a close look at your smile with advanced digital imaging. We want to assess the strength of your jawbone and choose the best angle, position, and depth to insert your new posts. We then guide them into place with advanced digital surgical guides, ensuring they sit at the perfect angle to support new teeth and stimulate the growth of jawbone structure.
Completing Your Dental Implant
Once your new roots are in place, we will attach an abutment to the post and then connect a custom crown, so you have a full tooth, sometimes in as little as one visit. If you have a more advanced case of tooth loss, we could insert several posts and abutments, and then connect a full or partial denture, or new bridge, so that you can enjoy a prosthetic that lasts far longer than traditional bridges or removable dentures.
