When you’re spending time thinking about all of the possible ways you can make your smile complete again, you may find that you really dig deep when you begin researching one particular treatment. When that treatment is dental implants, there’s a seemingly endless array of information that you will likely find exceptionally interesting! While this can prove beneficial if you’re really loving the idea of implants, it can also make some patients feel too inundated with details. To help keep you focused on the major points to keep in mind as you consider implants for your smile, our Santa Rosa, CA team offers a quick refresher of the basics!
They’re Made Up Of Three Parts
Remember that dental implants are made of up just three main parts. You have the actual implant, which is a post made of biocompatible titanium. It’s the part that will stand in place of the roots of your missing tooth, as it will be implanted into your jaw tissue and will then bond with that tissue. Next, there’s the abutment, which is the part that helps connect the implant to the third part of your tooth replacement: The restoration. It’s the crown, the partial, the bridge, or the denture (the part that replaces the portion of your tooth or teeth above your gumline!).
They’re For More Patients Than You Think!
You might visualize dental implants, think about what they offer, and then assume they’re probably for other patients. However, our team likes to remind you that they’re for so many more people than most initially assume. First, on the topic of candidacy, qualifying is something that you may already be able to do or, if not, it something that we can help you do! Next, remember that implants aren’t only a means of supporting a crown, thereby replacing one tooth at a time. Instead, they work for just about any plan, from supporting individual crowns to supporting a denture!
You Can Expect Comfortable, Convenient Care!
You may assume that since dental implants are actually implanted into your jawbone and since there’s a longer period required to complete the process, it must be inconvenient and uncomfortable. However, the opposite is true. We make the process as smooth and relaxing as possible by collaborating with your doctors, offering you tons of support, treatments, and information, and by providing anesthesia!
