Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about dental implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots. They're small posts or screws that your dentist surgically embeds in your jaw. Because they're made from materials like titanium or ceramic that are biocompatible, your body doesn't realize that they're a foreign substance, enabling your dental implant to fuse with your jawbone as your mouth heals from the surgery. Once it fuses to your jawbone, the implant functions just like a natural tooth root and supports a restoration, such as a crown.
Dental implants replace your missing teeth with a prosthetic that feels, functions, and looks just like a natural tooth. This means more comfortable and better-looking restorations. Because implants attach to your jawbone, they also provide more stability and security than other tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges, giving you improved speech and eating ability. Dental implants are also better for your overall oral health. Unlike a bridge, which requires you to shave enamel from some of your teeth, dental implants enable you to keep more of your natural structures intact. By stimulating your jawbone, dental implants keep your facial aesthetics intact and keep your jaw healthy.
In order to get dental implants, you need to have healthy gums. If you're suffering from gum disease, you need to treat that before you can get dental implants. You also need sufficient bone tissue in your jaw to support dental implants. If your jaw is lacking in bone tissue, you might need to get a bone graft before you can get dental implants.
The beauty of dental implants is that they don't require any special care. All you have to do to maintain the health of your dental implants is to brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, and maintain regular checkups and cleanings with the team at Plainsboro Family Dentistry.
