Introduction
Missing teeth can impact more than just your appearance—they can affect your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper oral health. Dental implants offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. At Unique Dental of Worcester, we specialize in dental implant treatments that provide both functionality and aesthetics.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a stable foundation for a replacement tooth. The implant fuses with the bone over time, creating a secure base for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
- Durability and Longevity
- With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
- Natural Appearance
- Implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Improved Functionality
- Unlike removable dentures, implants provide a stable bite and feel like natural teeth.
- Bone Health Preservation
- Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
The Dental Implant Process
- Initial Consultation
- During your first visit, we’ll evaluate your oral health and jawbone density to determine if implants are suitable for you.
- Implant Placement
- The titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
- Healing Period
- Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the bone, creating a secure base.
- Restoration Placement
- Once the implant has healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to complete the restoration.
Caring for Dental Implants
- Brush and floss daily to maintain oral hygiene.
- Schedule regular dental checkups to monitor the health of your implants.
- Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice to prevent damage.
