Why Do You Need a Dental Implant?

When people lose teeth due to tooth decay, periodontal disease, or some type of injury, they may think that their only option is to get a bridge or dentures. However, the dental advancements today allow for a certified dentist to give dental implants as an alternative.

Dental implants protect facial bone and healthy teeth, are long-lasting, reliable with natural look while having a comfortable fit.

These are replacement tooth roots that are a foundation for permanent or removable replacement teeth. The implants themselves match your natural teeth to keep your smile looking its best without any noticeable signs of dental work. The procedure is less painful than a tooth extraction and is completed within a few hours using only local anesthesia.

Dental implants provide patients with many benefits including a better appearance for your smile, improved speech, and teeth will not move around or eventually lose bone to sit on like dentures would.

The implant itself does not reduce your other teeth or alter them in any way. Your original teeth remain intact and your oral health is improved because implants allow for easy access between teeth for brushing. With proper oral hygiene, the implants will remain durable and many last a lifetime.

 

How to Find a Great Dental Implant Dentist

A dentist who performs dental implants should be certified by the ADA and have performed several successful implants. Ask all the questions you need before making an appointment for your procedure.

A dental implant is not something that a walk-in patient can request from any dental office in the Cleveland area. Oral surgeons, periodontists, and prosthodontists who went to school to become American Dental Association (ADA) certified are the most qualified to perform dental implants.

The more experience a dentist has in this service, the fewer complications will arise during your implant. Be sure to ask how much training your dentist has and how often they perform dental implants.

It doesn’t hurt for you to meet with the dentist you are considering and their staff before making an appointment for a dental implant procedure. This gives you a chance to ask any questions you may have and understand how the procedure will work step by step.

Make sure to speak with several dentists in your area to find what office has customer reviews and will be honest about your condition. At Smilovits DDS, we have many testimonials from our satisfied patients and only tell you the truth. If you have been told that you have to pull out all your teeth to make dentures, call us for a second opinion.
