What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation for a replacement tooth. A custom dental crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to restore full function and aesthetics.
Dental implants are used to replace:
- A single missing tooth with an implant-supported crown.
- Multiple missing teeth with an implant-supported bridge.
- A full arch of missing teeth with implant-supported dentures.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are permanent, secure, and function just like natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Long-Lasting & Durable – Implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural Look & Feel – Restores your smile with a realistic, seamless appearance.
- Preserves Jawbone Health – Prevents bone loss and facial sagging by stimulating the jawbone.
- No Slipping or Discomfort – Unlike dentures, implants stay securely in place.
- Restores Chewing & Speech – Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Protects Adjacent Teeth – Unlike bridges, implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support.
With dental implants, you can enjoy a stable, permanent tooth replacement that looks and feels completely natural.
Are Dental Implants Right for You?
Dental implants are a great option for patients who:
- Have one or more missing teeth.
- Want a permanent alternative to dentures or bridges.
- Have sufficient jawbone density to support an implant (bone grafting may be an option if needed).
- Are in good overall health and don’t smoke, as smoking can affect healing.
If you’re unsure whether implants are right for you, Dr. Killingsworth will evaluate your oral health and discuss the best tooth replacement options.
The Dental Implant Process
Getting dental implants involves multiple steps to ensure a secure and long-lasting restoration. Here’s what to expect:
1. Consultation & Treatment Planning
- A comprehensive dental exam is performed.
- Digital X-rays or 3D CT scanning assess jawbone density and determine implant placement.
- A customized treatment plan is created based on your unique needs.
2. Implant Placement Surgery
- The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Healing time varies, typically taking 3 to 6 months as the implant fuses with the bone.
3. Abutment & Restoration Placement
- Once healed, a small connector piece called an abutment is placed.
- A custom dental crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached, restoring your smile.
The result? A fully functional, natural-looking tooth replacement that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Types of Dental Implant Restorations
- Single Tooth Implants – Replaces one missing tooth with an implant-supported crown.
- Implant-Supported Bridges – Ideal for multiple missing teeth without affecting surrounding teeth.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – A secure, comfortable alternative to traditional dentures.
Dr. Killingsworth will help you choose the best implant option for your specific needs.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of dental implants varies based on:
- The number of implants needed.
- Whether additional procedures (such as bone grafting) are required.
- The type of restoration used (single crown, bridge, or denture).
Since implants are a long-term investment in your oral health, many patients find them worth the cost compared to replacing dentures or bridges over time.
At Killingsworth Family Dentistry, we offer:
- Flexible financing options to make implants affordable.
- Insurance verification to check for possible coverage.
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
Our team will discuss all cost and financing options during your consultation.
Caring for Your Dental Implants
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. To maintain your implants:
- Brush and floss daily, just like natural teeth.
- Schedule regular dental cleanings to keep your gums and surrounding teeth healthy.
- Avoid smoking, as it can interfere with healing and implant longevity.
- Use a nightguard if you grind your teeth to prevent excess pressure on implants.
By following these steps, you can enjoy a fully restored smile for years to come.
