  1. If you have missing teeth, or are looking to replace your dentures, dental implants offer a natural appearance, comfortable fit and long-term function that can improve the quality of your life. They're anchored in your jaw bone, which means they're much more stable than dental implants alabaster al or bridges, and won't shift out of place. Implants also help keep your jawbone strong and healthy, and can prevent bone loss around the missing tooth site.

  2. Dental Implants are the next best thing to real teeth, and they provide better long-term value than other tooth replacement options. The first step is to determine if you're a good candidate for all on 4 implants in atlanta. This can be done with a simple exam and x-rays. If you're a candidate, your dentist will perform surgery to place the titanium fixture in your jawbone. The procedure usually takes about six weeks to complete. During the recovery period, you may need to take antibiotics or pain medications to prevent infection. Once your surgical site is healed, you'll need to continue practicing good oral hygiene and seeing your doctor for regular checkups. It is important to protect your dental implants from the same factors that can cause your natural teeth to decay or break down - tooth-staining tobacco and coffee, eating hard or crunchy foods, and grinding your teeth. Your dentist can help you develop a good oral hygiene routine and make sure your implants are free of infections. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that preserves and stimulates your bone mass, preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure. This helps maintain a natural-looking and youthful face.

  3. A gap in your mouth caused by a missing tooth can lead to misalignment of the other teeth, and even changes in your bite, which can impact the health of your other teeth. Missing teeth can cause other problems, including bone deterioration and facial collapse. This can affect your self-esteem and confidence, and can lead to a prematurely aged appearance. Your dentist will recommend a treatment plan that's right for you, and can answer any questions you have along the way. The procedure is quick, easy and virtually painless with local anesthetics. Your doctor will also give you medication that helps relieve any swelling and discomfort that might occur after the surgery. Once your implant has been placed, it will need to heal and fuse with your jawbone. This process can take about 6-16 weeks. A crown (or another artificial tooth) is then fabricated to secure the implant, either by cementing or screwing it in place. After the implant has healed, a final procedure is performed to fit and restore the implant. Your dental implants alabaster al will be an important part of your smile and your life.
