Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement for several reasons, including:
- Longevity: Dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime with proper care.
- Function: Dental implants function just like natural teeth.
- Upkeep: Dental implants don’t require specialized care or upkeep.
- Oral Health: Dental implants promote better oral health.
If you’re considering tooth replacement, we highly recommend dental implants in Edmonton, OK.
Assessing Your Dental Implant Candidacy
Of course, dental implants are not suitable for everyone. In some cases, they are not recommended, or you may need pretreatments to help make implants a reality. Pretreatments can include bone grafting or a sinus lift.
Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your budget, and talk to you about your goals before proceeding with dental implants.
If you move forward, the next step is dental implant planning and placement.
On implant placement day, the dentist surgically implants new tooth roots. These new roots integrate into the bone and are later capped with custom dental crowns or a fixed prosthetic, such as a bridge or implant denture.
What Happens After Dental Implants
Dental implants are so similar to natural teeth that you don’t have to purchase special products or add steps to your oral care routine to keep them healthy and viable. You simply brush and floss your implants just like your natural teeth.
You also don’t have to book extra dental visits for adjustments. Your dentist will assess your implants during your six-month checkups and teeth cleanings in Edmonton, OK.
It’s essential to continue your oral care routine (brushing and flossing at least twice daily) and dental visits to keep your gum health in check. Issues like gum disease can compromise your implants and lead to additional tooth loss.
