How Do Dental Implants Work?

A dental implant is a metal post, usually made of titanium, which replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. Dr. Sathvik Seshadri or Dr. Shikha Chopra will place a replacement tooth to the post, which can be permanently attached or removable. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

The answer depends on factors such as overall health, oral health, and bone density. An ideal candidate for dental implants:

• Is a non-smoker
• Has maintained good oral health
• Has healthy gums with no signs of gum disease

Our team of experienced dental professionals can provide personalized consultations to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you. Whether you need a single implant or a complete mouth restoration, Aspire Dental Care PLLC can help you achieve a lasting, confident smile. Don’t hesitate to reach out and book your consultation today.

The Advantages of Dental Implants

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are the way to go. Not only do they look and feel like natural teeth, but they also have several advantages over other tooth replacement options. 

Our dentures in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts, provide many patients an excellent restorative dentistry solution. But unlike dentures, which can slip and slide around in your mouth, dental implants are secured into your jawbone so you can eat, speak, and confidently smile. Permanent replacement teeth with dental implants are more stable and feel more like natural teeth. 

Additionally, implants stimulate the jawbone, which helps prevent bone loss and maintains the structure of your face. Overall, dental implants offer a more permanent and effective solution to tooth loss, and we are proud to provide this service at Aspire Dental Care PLLC.

Single or Multiple Dental Implants

Dental implants are very versatile. If you’re missing one tooth, one implant, and one replacement tooth will take care of your problem. If you’re missing several teeth in a row, a few strategically placed implants can support a permanent bridge. Similarly, if you have lost all of your teeth, a full bridge or denture can be permanently fixed in your mouth with a strategic number of implants.

Dental Implants vs. Dentures and Bridges

Unlike dental implants, we don’t fix bridges and dentures to the bone. Dental implants look, feel, and act more naturally like your natural teeth. They also have a more potent biting force. Implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support, which is an advantage since they won’t compromise the health of your surrounding healthy teeth. Implants are also likely to last a lifetime.

Taking Care of Your Dental Implants

You should treat your new dental implants just like natural teeth. They require brushing and flossing at least twice daily and regular checkups and cleanings with your dentist. The better you care for your implants, the more likely they will truly last you a lifetime.
