What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts we place into your jawbone to replace and mimic the function of your natural tooth roots. Implants provide stable and secure foundations to support fixed or removable replacement teeth, bridges, or dentures.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Implants are the best alternatives to healthy, natural teeth. They are incredibly durable, offering an outstanding, permanent solution to restore one or more missing teeth. Implants are the only restorations that stimulate the bone in the area, preventing bone loss.

With implants, you’ll speak with confidence and enjoy your favorite foods once again. You’ll maintain your natural facial structure and restore your confident smile. Implant surgery is one of the safest dental procedures with a more than 95 percent success rate. With proper care, your restorations can last a lifetime!

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Candidates for implants have good overall health, healthy gums, and enough bone to support and anchor their restorations. Even if you’ve suffered bone loss, you may still be a candidate for implants. A bone grafting procedure will rebuild the bone in the area to ensure the implant procedure’s success.

Patients at risk of poor implant outcomes include those with health conditions, including uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, and advanced gum disease.Smoking can also interfere with healing and impact the implant’s success, as can the use of medication, including steroids or drugs that suppress your immune system.

How Do You Know if You Are a Candidate for Implants?

A consultation with Dr. Schilling will help determine whether you are a candidate for implants. If you have any oral health issues, she will outline a treatment plan to get you implant ready. If you grind or clench your teeth, a condition known as bruxism, she may recommend a mouthguard to protect your implants from damage while you sleep. Dr. Schilling will do everything possible to ensure you are a perfect candidate for dental implants.
