High Quality, Affordable Dental Implants in Tamarac
Are you missing one or more teeth and looking for a permanent, natural-looking solution? Dental implants at Gentle Dentistry of Tamarac could be the perfect choice for restoring your smile and confidence. Implants are durable, functional, and designed to look and feel like your natural teeth.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small, titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once healed, these implants provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.
Evaluation for Dental Implants
If, like many others, you feel implant dentistry is the choice for you, we ask that you undergo a dental/radiographic examination and health history. During these consultation visits, your specific needs and considerations will be addressed by either Dr. Hilali or by an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon referred by our practice. Your questions and concerns are important to us and our team will work with you very closely to help make your procedure a success.
Types of Implant Procedures
At Gentle Dentistry of Tamarac, we offer various implant options to fit your needs:
- Single Tooth Implants: Perfect for replacing one missing tooth with a crown.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth.
- All-on-4 Implants: A full-arch solution for patients who want permanent dentures supported by just four implants.
- Mini Dental Implants: A less invasive option for patients with lower bone density.
Dental Implant Procedure
Dental implants are metal anchors, which act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jaw bone. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrude through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, dental implants are placed within your jaw bone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually bonding with the jaw bone. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. At the same time, your restorative dentist designs the final bridgework or denture, which will ultimately improve both function and aesthetics.
After the dental implant has bonded to the jaw bone, the second phase begins. The surgeon will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. Dr. Hilali can then start making your new teeth. An impression must be taken. Then posts or attachments can be connected to the implants. The replacement teeth are then made over the posts or attachments. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer several benefits over traditional tooth replacement options:
- Natural Appearance: They look and feel like your real teeth. Floss, brush, and mouthwash just like you would normally, with no sticky denture adhesive necessary.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, implants can last decades or even a lifetime. (If you smoke or use tobacco products, you can risk a rejection or failure of your implant).
- Improved Functionality: Eat any food you like, speak normally, and smile with confidence.
- Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and simultaneously reducing the look of aging in the face.
