Missing teeth can impact your confidence and oral health, but you don't have to live with the effects of tooth loss! At Comprehensive Dentistry in Ypsilanti, MI, we offer dental implants, a strong, permanent and natural-looking solution to restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as artificial tooth roots. These implants provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as dental crowns or implant-supported dentures. They are designed to fuse with your jawbone, offering a permanent and durable solution.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Patients choose dental implants from our team at Comprehensive Dentistry for top benefits like:
- Their natural look and feel. Dental implants closely resemble natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Enhanced functionality. Implants restore full chewing and speaking ability, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak with confidence.
- Enhanced jawbone health and prevention of bone loss. Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone atrophy and maintaining facial structure.
- Long-term durability. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Implants can also replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or support a full set of dentures.
The Dental Implant Process
Receiving a dental implant from our team at Comprehensive Dentistry includes the following process:
- Surgical placement of the implant post.
- Healing period (osseointegration) for the implant to fuse with the jawbone.
- Placement of the abutment (connector).
- Attachment of the final crown or denture.
Sedation options are available to ensure your comfort during surgical procedures. After your dental implant is placed, we'll recommend the appropriate post-surgical care, which may include a soft-food diet during the initial healing period and over-the-counter or prescribed pain medication to manage discomfort. Maintaining proper oral hygiene will be essential for long-term success with the implant – treat your new dental implant just like a natural tooth!
Implant-Supported Dentures
For our patients missing all or most of their teeth, implant-supported dentures offer a stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. These dentures are anchored to dental implants, providing superior stability and eliminating the discomfort and slippage associated with conventional dentures.
Dental implants are a rapidly growing tooth replacement option, with millions of people currently enjoying their benefits.
