Dental implants are often the preferred treatment option for replacing missing teeth due to their durability and long term oral health benefits. Dental implants are designed as a prosthetic root structure and help maintain the natural bite and smile. Dental implants are successfully used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch of missing teeth. Tooth implants are the perfect modern day solution to tooth loss.

FAQs
How long does a tooth implant surgery take?
The surgery itself usually lasts between one and two hours. However, the entire process, from preparing the implant site to the final restoration of the tooth, can take up to 3 to 6 months
Can I get cavities with dental implants?
No, your dental implants cannot grow cavities. Tooth implants are not susceptible to decay. This is because the tooth implant is an artificial material. It’s not natural so it cannot grow cavities.
Are tooth implants susceptible to plaque?
While dental implants are not susceptible to tooth decay or cavities, they can still develop plaque. Plaque can become hard and turn into tartar if you don’t have a dentist remove them. Additionally, this can lead to gum disease. If plaque does form on dental implants, it can eventually lead to implantitis, which is an inflammation of the tissues around the implant. It is important to see your dentist regularly for professional cleanings.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Good candidates for dental implants are patients with healthy oral tissues and sufficient bone mass to support the implant. Moreover, dental implants are a good option for people who are missing one or more teeth and want to replace them with a permanent solution. They are also a good option for people who do not want to wear dentures.
Do Dental Implants Look Like Natural Teeth?
Yes, dental implants can look like natural teeth. In fact, many people choose dental implants because they provide a more natural-looking solution than other options, such as dentures. Dental implants are made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth so they blend in with your smile. If you’re considering dental implants, be sure to consult with a skilled implant dentist who can help you achieve the results you desire.
How do I clean my dental implants?
When it comes to cleaning your dental implants, the best thing you can do is to brush and floss them regularly, just as you would with your natural teeth. You should use an extra soft toothbrush and use a gentle hand when brushing and avoid using any abrasive kinds of toothpaste. When cleaning around the implant, make sure to use gentle circular motions. Rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide or mouthwash once a day. This will help kill any bacteria on and around the implant site.
