Implants vs. Dentures:
Why This Permanent Choice Is Better for Your Health
A dental implant is a three-part system designed to mimic the structure of a natural tooth root. This prosthetic structure offers unique health and lifestyle benefits:
Versatile Solutions: Types of Implants for Every Tooth Loss Scenario
Dental implants are highly versatile and can address nearly any tooth loss scenario, from a single missing tooth to a complete arch. Dr. Ahmedo provides personalized solutions for:
Your Path to a New Smile: The 3-Step Implant Journey
Digital Planning & Gentle Placement:
This stage involves a comprehensive exam, 3D digital planning (CBCT), and the gentle, precise placement of the titanium implant post under local anesthesia.
Osseointegration (Securing Your Permanent Foundation):
During the 3 to 6-month healing period, your jawbone permanently fuses around the implant post (osseointegration) to create an unmatched strong foundation while you wear a temporary tooth replacement.
Final Restoration:
We attach a small connector (abutment) to the healed implant, followed by your custom-designed, natural-looking porcelain crown to complete your permanent tooth replacement.
Who Can Get Dental Implants?
Most healthy adults who are candidates for a simple tooth extraction are also candidates for dental implants. Below are the two main factors Dr. Ahmedo evaluates:
Overall Health
We look at your general health; conditions like diabetes or gum disease must be well-controlled. We strongly advise against smoking, as it severely slows down healing.
Strong Jawbone
Your jaw needs enough strong bone to hold the implant. If you have bone loss, we can often perform a bone graft first to rebuild the area, making you eligible for treatment.
