Dental Implants
Dental implants have revolutionized the field of dentistry, offering a permanent and comfortable solution for patients with missing teeth. At Purple Plum Dentistry, we specialize in providing state-of-the-art dental implant services to restore both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile. Here's everything you need to know about dental implants and why they might be the perfect solution for you.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made from titanium, surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are designed to match your natural teeth. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, resulting in a sturdy and durable base for a prosthetic tooth, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
One of the primary advantages of dental implants is their ability to function like natural teeth. Unlike dentures, which can slip or cause discomfort, implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, providing stability and confidence when eating, speaking, or smiling. Additionally, dental implants help to preserve the bone structure of the jaw, preventing the bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The dental implant process typically involves several steps, starting with a thorough examination and consultation. At Purple Plum Dentistry, we use advanced imaging technologies to assess your jawbone structure and plan the precise placement of the implant. The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience. After the implant is placed, a healing period is necessary for the bone to integrate with the implant before the permanent prosthetic is attached.
Post-Procedure Care
Proper care is essential to ensure the longevity of your dental implants. We provide detailed post-operative instructions to help you care for your new implants. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing and flossing, are crucial to maintaining the health of the implants and surrounding tissues. Our team is always available to address any concerns and provide ongoing support.
