What Are Dental Implants?

Dental ImplantsWhat your dentists in Beavercreek want you to know

There’s a lot of information out there about dental implants, but some of it may seem complicated. So, what are dental implants? Will they work for me? What are the benefits of dental implants? These are just a few of the questions you might want answered.

Dr. Charles Dean and Dr. Christopher Cripe at Beavercreek Dental Group in Beavercreek, OH, want to help answer your questions about dental implants. They proudly serve residents of Beavercreek, Fairborn, and Dayton and they can help you and your smile too.

Let’s start by discussing what dental implants are. Dental implants are the most natural looking and functioning tooth replacement available. The part of the implant known as the screw is placed in your jaw during a simple in-office procedure. The screw will function as the “root” of your missing tooth. Over time, the bone in your jaw fuses with the dental implant screw and locks it in place. A dental implant crown is then placed over the screw, and you have a new tooth.

Dental implants will work perfectly for you whether you need to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. They can also be used to form a firm foundation for a denture, which is snapped in place over the implants.

Dental implants work best if you are healthy and don’t smoke. Your dentists at Beavercreek Dental Group will record your full medical history and discuss any concerns about dental implants with you.

There are amazing benefits of dental implants over other tooth replacement methods, including:

  • Natural beauty, because they are virtually indistinguishable from your teeth
  • Permanent stability, because they are embedded in bone and won’t move around
  • Convenience, because you can brush and floss dental implants just like natural teeth

You never have to worry about decay or staining with dental implants. They will stay beautiful for years. They are also the most successful surgical implant, boasting a success rate of over 95%, according to the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
