Dental Implants: A Durable Solution
Dental implants are advanced dental solutions consisting of titanium posts that are surgically embedded into the jawbone. This procedure allows the implants to gradually fuse with the bone over a period of about six months, creating a robust and reliable foundation for attaching various dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, or full dentures. This integration process ensures that the implants become a permanent and stable part of your jaw, offering a natural look and function. With appropriate care and maintenance, dental implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution, often remaining functional and aesthetically pleasing for 30 years or more, without significant signs of wear.
Do I Need Dental Implants?
Do you have missing teeth? While maintaining excellent oral hygiene can help many people keep their natural smile for a lifetime, everyday wear and tear can sometimes take its toll. Factors like trauma, illness, stress, aging, decay, or even bad luck can lead to tooth loss.
No matter the cause, the solution is consistent: restoring a natural, healthy smile. If you've lost one or more teeth, dental implants can be an effective way to rebuild your oral health and revitalize your smile.
Dental implants are typically the best choice for replacing missing teeth because they
- Look Natural: Dental implants are meticulously matched to your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural appearance that blends effortlessly with your smile.
- Comfortable: Once healed, dental implants provide a comfortable, pain-free solution, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without irritation.
- Low Maintenance: Caring for dental implants is simple—just brush and floss as you would with your natural teeth. There's no need to worry about slipping dentures or removable bridges.
- Support Oral Health: Dental implants help maintain oral health by avoiding bulky appliances that can cause bone loss, gum irritation, or increase the risk of periodontal disease and tooth decay. They integrate smoothly with your natural smile, protecting your jaw and gums.
- Long-Lasting: Designed for durability, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a highly reliable tooth replacement option.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of dental implants can vary widely, as with any surgical procedure. To provide an accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our Dennis Dental Care dentists. Factors that may affect the cost include:
- The quality, amount, and location of bone. If you require bone grafting, the total costs associated with your implants will be higher.
- The number of teeth that need to be replaced and the type of dental implant that will be used.
- Dental insurance. Some insurance plans cover only parts of implant treatment. Others have a waiting period for eligibility.
