Dental Implants Bring Quality Back to Life

What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium fixture that
serves as the replacement for the root portion of
a missing tooth. Dental implants can be used to
replace a single lost tooth or many missing
teeth. Implant nha khoa là phuong pháp thay th?

Improved Appearance
When teeth are missing an ongoing shrinkage of
the jawbone occurs making the face look older.
Dental implants can slow or stop this process.

What are the Benefits of Dental Implant Therapy?
5
Improved Comfort
Eliminates the pain and discomfort of full
removable or partial dentures. Implant supported
replacement teeth are like natural teeth because
they are anchored securely to your jawbone.
6
Improved Speech
With ill fitting dentures, the teeth slip and
slide around the mouth. This often results in
mumbling, slurred speech or clicking noises.
Replacement teeth allow you to speak with
confidence in a relaxed and natural tone.
7
Chew Your Food Better
Dental implants can restore chewing efficiency
comparable to that of natural teeth. This allows
you to eat your favorite foods with confidence
and without pain, enjoy what everyone is eating
and not think twice about it.
8
Confidence Convenience
Dental implants can eliminate the numerous
embarrassing inconveniences of removable partial
and full dentures. You will no longer need to
cover your mouth when you laugh or smile, for
fear that your teeth will pop out or fall down.

Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Adequate bone in your jaw is needed to support
the implant(s) along with healthy gum tissues
that are free of periodontal disease.
Your dentist will determine if you are a
candidate for dental implants after a careful
evaluation of your dental and medical health
history.
10
Documentation studies have
proven the effectiveness and long lasting
results of dental implants. Good oral hygiene
is one of the most critical factors to insure
the health of your dental implants. Your dentist
will instruct you on the proper home hygiene
procedures to keep your dental implants and
remaining teeth clean and healthy.

Dental Implant Treatment Steps
1
The first step is the placement of the titanium
implant. The implant will remain covered
underneath the gum for approximately 3-6 months.
During this time, the implant should fuse to the
bone.

2
The second step of the procedure involves
uncovering the implant and attaching a post. This
completes the foundation of which your new tooth
will be placed. In some instances, your surgeon
may decide to place the post at the time of the
initial surgery.

3
The final step is the placement of your new tooth
by your dentist. With techniques that ensure
optimal size, shape, color and fit, this
replacement tooth should blend with your
remaining teeth.

Removable Full-Arch Option
The full-arch treatment alternative, called an
overdenture, offers the advantages of dental
implants, with the removability of a denture.
The overdenture prosthesis attaches to a bar for
greater stability than that offered by a
traditional denture.
