Wallacia Dental takes pride in offering a wide range of dental services
Dental implants are a long-lasting and natural-looking solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. At Wallacia Dental, we specialize in providing high-quality dental implants that restore both the function and appearance of your smile. Whether you're missing a single tooth or several teeth, dental implants offer a reliable and permanent option for achieving a complete, beautiful smile.
Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as a replacement root for missing teeth. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, providing a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Implants are designed to mimic the natural structure of your teeth, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.
Long-Lasting and Durable: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution over time.
Natural-Looking: Implants look and feel like natural teeth. They blend seamlessly with your smile, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Improved Oral Health: Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants help preserve your jawbone and prevent bone loss, maintaining the structure of your face and preventing the shifting of surrounding teeth.
Improved Comfort and Function: Dental implants are fixed in place, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures. They allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
No Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Unlike dental bridges, which require altering surrounding teeth, implants don’t affect healthy teeth, allowing for better long-term oral health.
Getting dental implants involves several steps, each of which is performed with the utmost care to ensure the best results. Here’s what you can expect during your dental implant treatment:
Initial Consultation: The first step is a comprehensive consultation where we evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. We may take X-rays or 3D scans to assess the condition of your jawbone.
Implant Placement Surgery: During a minor surgical procedure, a small titanium post is placed into the jawbone. Local anesthesia is used to ensure comfort during the procedure. The implant will be allowed to fuse with the bone over several months in a process known as osseointegration.
Healing and Integration: After the implant is placed, we will give you time to heal. The bone will naturally integrate with the implant, providing a stable foundation. This process typically takes a few months.
Abutment Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, an abutment (a small connector piece) is placed on top of the implant. This will connect the implant to the custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.
Final Restoration: After the abutment is placed, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant. This final restoration will be designed to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural look.
Single Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, a single implant is placed into the jawbone, followed by a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Multiple Teeth Implants: If you’re missing several teeth, multiple implants can be placed to support a bridge or a set of individual crowns, restoring your smile with a functional and aesthetic result.
Implant-Supported Dentures: For patients missing most or all of their teeth, implant-supported dentures provide a stable and secure alternative to traditional removable dentures. Implants are used to anchor the dentures in place, offering greater comfort and support.
Dental implants are suitable for most people who are in good overall health and have enough bone density to support the implant. However, certain factors, such as smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, or inadequate bone structure, may affect the success of the treatment. During your consultation, we will carefully evaluate your situation and discuss whether dental implants are the best option for you.
