Are you struggling with missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures? Dental implants may be the solution you’re looking for! Malden Cosmetic Dentistry & Implants offers a range of implant treatments to restore your smile and improve your oral health.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically implanted into your jawbone. They provide a stable base for replacement teeth or bridges, helping to restore the function and appearance of your natural teeth. Implants are made from biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that fuse with your bone over time.
Types of Dental Implants
- Single Tooth Implant: Replaces one missing tooth with a natural-looking, secure replacement.
- Multiple Teeth Implants: Used when you’re missing several teeth in a row—implants hold a bridge in place without affecting your other teeth.
- Full Arch Implants (All-on-4): Replaces all upper or lower teeth using just four implants. Great for people who’ve lost most or all of their teeth.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Dentures that snap onto implants—no slipping, no glue, and much more comfortable than regular dentures.
- Same-Day Implants: In some cases, you can get an implant and a temporary tooth on the same day. Faster results with fewer visits.
Benefits of Dental Implants
There are many benefits to choosing dental implants to replace missing teeth, including:
- Improved appearance: Implants look and feel like natural teeth, improving the appearance of your smile.
- Enhanced comfort: Unlike dentures, implants are permanent and don’t require any messy adhesives.
- Better oral health: Implants help to preserve your jawbone and prevent bone loss, which can lead to further tooth loss and facial sagging.
- Improved speech: Missing teeth can affect your ability to speak clearly, but implants can restore your ability to communicate with confidence.
- Increased durability: Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
Results of Dental Implants
After your dental implant procedure, it may take several months for the implants to fully integrate with your jawbone. Once this process is complete, your replacement teeth or bridge will be attached to the implants, restoring your smile and improving your oral health.
