Benefits of Dental Implants
Missing teeth affect more than your smile. Left untreated, they can lead to bone loss, shifting teeth, and a higher risk of gum disease over time. Restorative dentistry options like dental implants replace both the root and the visible tooth, giving you a secure, natural-looking way to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Natural Look & Feel: Implants closely resemble your natural teeth in appearance and function.
- Durability: Designed to last for many years with proper care.
- Bone Preservation: Help maintain jawbone health by preventing the bone loss that follows missing teeth.
- Comfort: Securely anchored, with no slipping or discomfort like with removable dentures.
- Improved Oral Health: Do not affect adjacent teeth like bridges might.
- Low Maintenance: Care for implants just like your regular teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and checkups.
How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement. Each implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, where it functions as an artificial tooth root. Over the next few months, the post fuses with the bone through a process researchers call osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for your new tooth.
Here’s what to expect during treatment.
- Consultation: Dr. Platt evaluates your jawbone health, gum tissue, and overall candidacy using digital imaging to plan precise implant placement.
- Placement: The implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia, with sedation options available for your comfort.
- Healing: Over several months, the implant bonds with the surrounding bone, and a temporary prosthesis is often placed the same day as surgery.
- Restoration: Once healed, a custom crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture is attached to restore full function and a natural appearance.
At North Lakewood Dental, the entire process, from consultation through final restoration and follow-up care, is completed at our convenient Bradenton location. Schedule your consultation today.
