What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants can be defined as artificial tooth roots inserted into the jawbone. They are composed of a screw-like implant, a crown, and an abutment that connects the crown to the dental implant. 

At Dr. Claire Benmergui Family and Cosmetic Dentistry Clinic, we’ve done many dental/oral surgery procedures successfully.

We are known for installing implants seamlessly and designing custom-made crowns that match patients’ teeth’ color and size perfectly. The crowns that we fit on dental implants look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.

Who Should Get Dental Implants? Ideal Candidates

You should consider having dental implants installed if:

• You have a missing tooth and want a permanent solution.
• You have adequate jawbone density. Since dental implants are fitted into the jawbone, ideal candidates need sufficient bone mass. Jawbone density dictates successful implant placement as well as the long-term stability of the implant. Candidates who don’t have adequate jaw bone density/mass can undergo bone grafting before getting dental implants.
• You have realistic expectations. You need to have an accurate expectation of what the implants will look like, feel, function, etc., to be a good candidate. Generally, tooth implants will function and look like natural teeth when installed by professionals.
• A generally good oral health is also a basic requirement. 

Talk to us to find out if you are an ideal candidate and other requirements.  We can offer you the required dental treatment (if need be) and turn you into an ideal candidate for dental implants.

Remember, you need good oral health and a commitment to maintain good oral hygiene before you can become a good candidate.

There are many reasons to consider implants over other dental treatments like dentures for missing teeth. The main reasons include:

• Stability: Implants are securely fixed into the jawbone, so they don’t shift or move. Dentures can sometimes slip or shift, which can be uncomfortable.
• Comfort: Because implants are like natural teeth, they feel more comfortable and natural. Dentures may cause sore spots or need adjustments.
• Bone Health: Implants help preserve the jawbone by stimulating it just like natural teeth. Dentures can lead to bone loss over time because they don’t provide this stimulation.
