Dental Implants in San Jose CA

Dental Implants in San Jose CA

Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots that provide a permanent base for artificial teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium. At the Center for Advanced Dentistry, the implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it heals and fuses with the bone. Once healed, the implant is topped with a dental crown or denture.

How Are Dental Implants Placed?

Dental implant placement is a surgical procedure. Dental implant treatment consists of two parts. The dentist will first need to determine where the implant should be placed, take x-rays, and create an impression of the mouth. Dental implants are made of titanium, a strong, lightweight material that fuses with the jawbone and is biocompatible. Once the implant has healed, your dentist will attach an abutment and dental crown. The abutment connects the implant to your dental crown structure. Once the crown is attached, your smile is returned to full function. Dental implants are strong and durable. They can last for 20 or 30 years with proper care.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are a popular option to replace missing teeth because they are designed to look and function like natural teeth. And after the dental implant procedure, they are a permanent solution to tooth loss. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that replaces a tooth's root and crown. This means implants can stop jawbone recession and prevent the need for ongoing bone grafting.

Are Dental Implants Painful?

Your dentist will use a local anesthetic before placing the implants. You won't feel anything during the procedure, and you'll be able to go home the same day. Traditional bridges and dentures can be uncomfortable because they sit directly on your gums. Dental implants, on the other hand, are implanted into your jawbone. As a result, you won't experience the discomfort of traditional dentures. Dental implants stimulate your jawbone and become denser and more robust. 

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

Dental implants are durable and long-lasting. The dental implant post is surgically inserted into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone material over time through osseointegration. Once this happens, a dental crown, bridge, or complete arch dental restoration can be placed over the top and secured. They will not slip or move, so patients can enjoy a restored smile that looks and feels natural.
