About Implant Dentistry - An Overview
With the advances in dental and denture implant dentistry, there are now several options to replace missing teeth including dental implants, fixed bridges and denture solutions. It is important that missing teeth are replaced quickly for the following reasons:
- Teeth adjacent to the gap (where the tooth was lost) begin to shift (move) towards the gap and cause functional bite problems.
- Missing teeth can result in bone loss and shrinkage of your jawbone over time. Missing teeth can cause your facial muscles to sag (due to lack of support) and make you look much older than you are.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is the most aesthetic and functional treatment solution for replacing missing teeth. An all-ceramic dental crown or dental bridge, secured to a dental implant, offers a complete and beautiful solution. The implant procedure is categorized as a form of prosthetic (artificial replacement) dentistry, though it also falls into the category of cosmetic dentistry as well.
Although you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.
Benefits Of Dental Implants
Dental implants are stronger and more durable than their restorative counterparts (bridges and dentures). Implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss. Additionally, implants may be used in conjunction with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness. For example, a single implant can serve to support a crown replacing a single missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support a dental bridge for the replacement of multiple missing teeth, and can be used with dentures to increase stability and reduce gum tissue irritation.
Procedural advancements, including the development of narrower “mini” implants, mean that more people than ever before are finding themselves candidates for implantation. However, candidacy for implantation still varies, meaning that only a dentist with 3d conebeam imaging technology can effectively determine who is an appropriate candidate.
Keep in mind, too, that dentists do not need a specific license by law in order to perform implant dentistry. A general or restorative dentist may perform the crown and bridge placement that is associated with implant restoration. However, periodontists, oral surgeons and prosthodontists typically team-up with a restorative/cosmetic dentist to complete this multidisciplinary procedure. Fortunately, Dentiq has just the dental implant team that makes the decision easy.
What's Involved In The Dental Implant Process?
It all begins with a thorough understanding of how we can accomodate your smile needs, and determining if you're a candidate for implants. Implants require adequate bone structure for placement so often times dental implant imaging is required but don't worry, we have a professional partnership with 3-D Smile (a dental implant imaging lab) so that everything can be taken care of while you're here, under one roof.
After a thorough assessment, the procedure may begin. The first stage of the procedure involves oral surgery in which a titanium post is implanted into the jawbone for each missing tooth or for the new teeth that will anchor a bridge, denture or crown. Next, nature takes its course, allowing your bone tissue to fuse with the titanium post to create a solid foundation. Once secured, your dentist will attach a handcrafted, permanent crown to each post. The restorations will match your natural teeth and blend seamlessly with your smile.
By imitating an entire natural tooth, from the root up, implants offer a prosthetic that closely mimics nature. The result? Patients enjoy restored function, which allows a healthy diet of hard-to-chew foods. Speech may also improve. Strong and secure, your new smile will boost your confidence, enhance your appearance, and improve your quality of life.
The artificial tooth that is used as a replacement is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth in size, shape and texture, allowing it to blend discreetly with the remainder of your teeth. The titanium anchor holds the tooth securely and strongly in place, providing an artificial tooth that functions completely naturally.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The quick answer is the obligatory "it depends." But it's true, the cost of dental implants depends on many factors, including the type of implantation, the dental team required to perform the procedure, the material used, bone regeneration, sinus elevation, the number of teeth being restored and the overall complexity of the specific treatment case. Single implants may range in cost from $1,200 to $5,000, depending on the aforementioned factors. The cost of full-mouth reconstructive dental implants can range from $24,000 to $90,000.
Are you a candidate for dental implants? Now that you have an idea of what a dental implant costs, it’s time to determine if you are a candidate. We sincerely hope that you'll consider scheduling an complimentary consultation with us 713 526 2904, however, if you choose to seek the professional services of another dental practice, be sure to assess their credentials and their ability to perform the entire procedure (from the 3d conebeam diagnostic scan to the finishing mechanics of making it beautiful) at their practice. You'll find that a true comprehensive dental implant center will echo our sentiments "take great care of great people."
While dental implants are wonderfully effective, not every patient is a good candidate to receive them. Dental implants require the patient to undergo surgery to have the titanium anchor placed, so the candidate needs to be in relatively good general health. They also need to have healthy gum tissue and sufficient bone density to support the titanium anchors.
