If you choose dental implants to replace a missing tooth or teeth — it can really become a turning point in your life. That’s why we’d love for you to consider dental implants in 2022 for restoring your smile, improving your oral health, and boosting your overall confidence! Dental implants are increasing in popularity due to their high success rate, natural look, and because they feel and function just like natural teeth. They’re the real deal.

What Are Dental Implants?

Basically, dental implants are devices consisting of three parts; the first part is a post, usually made of titanium. These posts are substitutes for tooth roots and are installed in your jaw bone and will connect to the second part of an implant, called an abutment, which is built on top of the implant post.

The abutment allows the third and final part of an implant, the artificial tooth, to be connected to the implant post and abutment. These three parts, the post, abutment, and artificial tooth (also known as a crown) come together to create one naturally-looking, strong tooth.

Are you a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

It’s important to talk to your dentist to discover if you’re a good candidate for dental implants. With each and every dental implant process, a unique plan will be made with your end goals in mind. This allows for a completely personalized approach to your implants and your smile. Your dentist will look for a few things when considering dental implant candidates, such as:

  • Good overall health and a reasonably healthy mouth
  • A jawbone that is strong enough to support the implants
  • Gums that are free of gum disease
  • The time to dedicate to the dental implant process, which can take multiple months to fully complete
