What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that we surgically place into your jawbone beneath your gums. They act as new tooth roots, creating a rock-solid foundation for replacement teeth.

With an estimated 120 million people missing at least one tooth, many people are looking for a solution to make their smile whole. If you have healthy gums, good oral health, and sufficient jawbone density, dental implants may be right for you.

We top the dental implants with a restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. These custom-made restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and feel stable and secure on the implants.

Unlike dentures or bridges that sit on top of your gums, implants become part of your jaw, stimulating the bone and preventing the deterioration that typically follows tooth loss.

What to Expect During the Dental Implant Process

We understand getting a dental procedure can be intimidating, so we guide you through every stage of your dental implant journey with gentle care and clear communication. While every patient is different, you can expect the following general steps when getting your implants:

Consultation

We start with a consultation and thorough exam to determine if implants are right for you. During this visit, we check your oral health, jawbone density, and medical history. We use 3D imaging to get a detailed look at your bone structure for precise planning. Based on what we find, we create a treatment plan just for you.

Procedure

If you decide to get dental implants and they’re right for you, we can proceed with the procedure. Using local anesthesia to keep you comfortable and other sedation options if needed, we carefully make an incision in the gums to access the jawbone. Then, we position the implant securely in the jaw. Once the implant is secure, we close the incision. Finally, we place a temporary restoration while you wait for your final one to arrive and for your implants to fuse with your jawbone.

Healing and Final Restoration

After placement, your implant needs several months to bond with your jawbone. This healing period is crucial as the implant fuses with your bone through osseointegration, creating a strong foundation.

Once healing is complete, we attach an abutment to connect your permanent replacement teeth. We take impressions to create custom-designed crowns, bridges, or dentures that match your natural teeth in color and shape. When your final restoration is ready, we attach it to the abutment to complete the look and give you a strong, radiant smile. Regular follow-ups ensure your mouth stays healthy and your implants last a lifetime.

7 Benefits of Getting Dental Implants With Coastal Cosmetic & Family Dentistry

If you’re missing teeth, you have several options to replace them, but dental implants offer significant advantages over traditional tooth replacement options, making them the go-to choice for a lasting solution. Their ability to maintain jawbone health is what truly sets them apart.

When you lose a tooth, the jawbone underneath starts to shrink from lack of stimulation. Dental implants are the only replacement option that prevents this bone loss by mimicking natural tooth roots and transferring chewing forces to the bone. This keeps your bones healthy and prevents the sunken facial appearance often seen with long-term tooth loss. In addition to strengthening the jawbone, dental implants offer the following benefits:

Greater comfort and stability compared to removable dentures
Natural appearance that blends in with your other teeth
Better chewing ability so you can enjoy your favorite foods again
Clearer speech without the slipping that often happens with dentures
Easier cleaning routine without special solutions or adhesives
Durability that can last decades or even a lifetime with proper care
Protection of neighboring healthy teeth since we don’t need to grind them down for support

Combined with our high-quality care and cutting-edge technology, these advantages ensure you receive the best care possible. Our trusted team always puts your comfort, health, and safety first, so you can have a stress-free experience and achieve your dream smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How painful is the dental implant procedure, and what can I expect during recovery?

Most patients report that getting a dental implant is less painful than expected. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during placement. After the surgery, mild discomfort or soreness is common, but this is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication and subsides within a few days. Many patients compare the recovery to that of a simple tooth extraction.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants, and is there an age limit?

Dental implants are suitable for most adults who have lost one or more teeth and have sufficient jawbone to support the implant. Good overall health and healthy gums are important. There is no upper age limit—patients in their 90s have successfully received implants. However, certain medical conditions or insufficient bone may require additional treatments, such as bone grafting, before implant placement.

How long do dental implants last, and how do I care for them?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Maintenance involves daily brushing and flossing, just like natural teeth, and regular dental check-ups. Avoiding smoking and maintaining good oral hygiene are key to maximizing the lifespan of your implants.
