Dental implants can be the solution for a missing tooth or an alternative to dentures or a dental bridge. A dental implant replicates the structures of your natural teeth so you can smile with confidence. Dr. Ghorbani provides state-of-the-art dental implants for a second chance at a comfortable smile.

Why Replace A Missing Tooth With A Dental Implant?

Unlike traditional dental crowns, implants replace the tooth’s root, providing valuable stimulation to the jawbone. 

The implants fuse into your jawbone, anchoring it in, so they function seamlessly with your natural teeth. 

In short, there’s no concern or embarrassment that can come with a removable prosthetic as the dental implant is a permanent fixture.

How Do I know If I Am A Candidate for A Dental Implant

Nearly everyone can enjoy dental implants, but additional treatment may be needed beforehand to ensure the best chances of success. Generally, we assess for:

  • An overall strong level of oral health, especially the gums.
  • An adequate amount of remaining jawbone.
  • A commitment to practice proper oral hygiene and upkeep your bi-annually hygiene appointments at Shield Dental Care.

There may be some cases where Dr. Ghorbani might advise against dental implants, although, these are typically temporary conditions that can be mitigated.

How is a Dental Implant Done?

To replace a missing tooth with a dental implant:

  • The implants will be surgically placed into the jawbone.
  • The healing process occurs when the new implants integrate into your natural tissue, forming a solid connection.
  • A custom restoration will be designed and placed on top of your implant, completing your new and improved smile!

Our team uses tooth-colored dental crowns to replenish the look and feel of individual teeth. Ask us about our Platelet-Rich Plasma/Fibrin to accelerate the healing process of the implant and lesson any post-operative pain!

For multiple missing teeth, an implant-supported denture may be the solution.

Dental Implants

Dental Implants have beneficial advantages and down-sides to consider. Here are some pros and cons of getting implants:

Pros

  • Mimics natural teeth
  • Most cost-effective missing tooth treatment
  • You can replace as many teeth as you need to

Cons

  • Restoration on top can wear out
  • You’ll need enough bone to support them

Dental implant surgery should not involve any pain since the mouth will be numbed.

No, dental implants are fixed solidly in the bone and allow teeth to be replaced in a manner that is closest to natural teeth.

Dental implants are durable so the success rate of dental implants is as high as 98%.
