A dental implant restoration is a great way to fix your smile and improve your oral health and function after losing one or more teeth. Educating yourself about the dental implant restoration by asking your general dentist the right questions can help you decide if you should choose the treatment option.
It is helpful to understand what a dental implant restoration is, what the benefits and potential disadvantages are and how you can make the treatment and care process easier. The following is an in-depth look at each question to help you learn about treatment and calm any anxiety you have before treatment begins.
A dental implant restoration is a form of teeth replacement that involves a dental implant (or multiple dental implants), an abutment and an artificial tooth. The replacement used is either a crown, bridge (partial denture) or complete denture, depending on the severity of teeth loss. The patient’s new teeth are non-removable and supported by the implants, titanium posts that are fixed into the jawbone for a secure and durable fit. Your dentist should explain dental implant restorations in greater depth and answer any specific questions you have.
The most notable benefits depend on your purpose for a dental implant restoration, and there are cosmetic, functional and oral health benefits to consider. Several benefits that patients with a dental implant restoration report include:
Of course, there are more benefits that your general dentist can discuss during the consultation visit. In general, dental implant restorations last longer, feel better and are more attractive than various other teeth replacement solutions.
Dental implant restorations do not have many disadvantages, especially after the treatment process. However, some patients are not fond of the longer treatment process, and patients should be willing and able to go through a minor surgery and a longer recovery time before beginning treatment.
Patients can recover after dental implant placement by eating soft foods and practicing good oral hygiene. The dentist and their team are there to guide you through each step of the treatment process, from the consultation visit to ensuring successful results long-term.
You can get the most out of your dental implant restoration by following the advice of the dental staff, which likely includes a consistent oral care routine and visiting the office for routine check-up visits. With proper care, they can last for more than twenty years.
