Dental Implants

Dental Implants Treatment in Orem, UT

Q: How do dental implants work?

A dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it bonds with the bone during healing. Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the missing tooth or teeth.

Q: Are dental implants a permanent solution for missing teeth?

Yes, dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution. With proper care and oral hygiene, they can last a lifetime.

Q: Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most patients with missing teeth and healthy jawbone structure are good candidates for dental implants. A dental evaluation helps determine if implants are right for your smile and bite.

Q: What types of dental implant restorations are available?

Dental implant restorations may include a dental crown, dental bridge, partial denture, or full denture, depending on how many teeth need to be replaced.

Q: How long does it take to heal after dental implant surgery?

Healing time varies, but most patients require a period of healing for the jawbone to bond with the implant before the final restoration is placed.

Q: Do dental implants look natural?

Yes, dental implant restorations are custom-made to match your natural teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural, aesthetic appearance.

Q: Can dental implants replace multiple missing teeth?

Absolutely. Dental implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even an entire arch of missing teeth using implant-supported bridges or dentures.

Q: How do I care for my dental implants?

Dental implants should be cared for just like natural teeth, with daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups to maintain long-term success.

Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Because they can be used to replace just one tooth, several teeth, or all of the natural teeth, dental implants are an excellent tooth replacement option for many patients. The dental implant, which is created from titanium, is surgically placed in the jawbone to replace the root of the missing tooth. A period of healing allows the bone to begin to bond with the titanium implant. Then, to replace the crown of the missing tooth, your talented dentists will place a dental implant restoration.
