What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are durable, long-lasting replacements for missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as a root. Once the implant integrates with the bone, it provides a strong foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. 

Dental implants function just like natural teeth, offering a stable and permanent solution for tooth loss. Essentially, they reinvent your missing tooth—solid, durable, and natural-looking.

The Dental Implants Process

Wondering what goes into getting dental implants? Here’s an overview of the typical steps:

Step 1: Consultation and Planning

Your journey starts with a consultation at Vitality Dental, where we assess your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan. X-rays or CT scans may be done to ensure sufficient bone density for the implants.

Step 2: Implant Placement

Next, the implant is surgically placed into your jawbone. This is a minimally invasive procedure, and we’ll make sure you’re comfortable throughout the process. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and in some cases, sedation dentistry is available for more anxious patients.

Step 3: Healing and Osseointegration

After placement, the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration) over a few months to ensure secure anchoring.

Step 4: Final Restoration

Once integrated, a custom crown, bridge, or denture is added to restore your smile’s appearance and function. The result is a natural-looking, fully functional set of teeth.

Who Can Benefit From Dental Implants?

Dental implants are versatile and can be used for a variety of situations. Here’s a look at how implants can help different cases:

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants come with a wide range of benefits. Some of the key advantages include:

• Durability: Dental implants are incredibly strong and can last a lifetime with proper care.
• Improved Functionality: You’ll be able to eat, speak, and smile with confidence—just like you would with your natural teeth.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Implants look and feel like real teeth, giving you a more natural smile.
• Bone Preservation: Unlike other tooth replacement options, implants help maintain jawbone density, preventing bone loss.
• No Impact on Surrounding Teeth: Dental implants don’t require altering healthy adjacent teeth, unlike bridges or partial dentures.
