Restore Your Natural Smile With Dental Implants

There are many reasons why a person might need an implant and a crown or a bridge. A traumatic event can cause tooth loss, let’s say from a car accident, or some people are even born without their full set of 32 teeth. There are also times when severe decay leads to a tooth extraction. Regardless of the reason why a person might be missing a tooth or certain teeth, single or multi implants can help both restore the person’s natural smile, as well as keeping the health of the neighboring teeth intact. If you are missing a tooth or had to have a tooth extracted and would like to know if an implant is the best course of treatment for you, the Spodak Dental Group team is here to help.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are a popular option for patients who would like to both restore their natural smile and reduce any aesthetic changes to their face or problems with surrounding teeth in the future. They are a very popular option for patients who are dealing with the hassles of dentures and would not like to. The main benefits of dental implants include:

Next best option to healthy, natural teeth
Built to last, as dental implants are a long-term solution
Allow patients to enjoy life without worrying about their teeth
Retain natural face shape and smile
Protect healthy bone and teeth
Provide teeth replacement without altering neighboring teeth
Afford patients the ability to eat their favorite foods without limitations

For these reasons, dental implants are often the standard of care for patients who are missing a tooth or a few teeth.

What Do Dental Implants Involve?

For most people who are interested in replacing missing teeth, dental implants are the best option because implants offer a smile that looks and feels very natural. Dental Implants are surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments. The procedure is done in stages so that the implant can successfully fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base for individual replacement teeth, bridges, or a denture.

The Integration of the dental implants into the jaw also helps the replacement teeth (i.e. crown) feel more natural. Many patients find that the fit and aesthetic is more preferable than other substitutes, including removable partials or dentures.

Can Dental Implants Be Expensive?

The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the location in the mouth, the materials used, as well as the condition of the patient’s gums. The best way to determine pricing is to partner with a cosmetic and restorative dentist who can assess your current oral health and make necessary recommendations. Generally, the most expensive portion of the implant is the crown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to expect

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are medical devices that are surgically implanted into the jawbone with the goal to restore a person's function or aesthetic. They essentially take the place of a lost tooth root. Implants provide long-term support for custom-crafted teeth, which can include crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?

Ideal candidates for dental implants include those who are in good oral health (specifically non-smokers), have enough bone density in the jawbone to support the implant(s), and have healthy gums that are free of any periodontal disease.

What is the dental implant procedure like, and how long does it take?

A typical dental implant procedure occurs in just one visit, and sedation options are given to the patient to render a pain-free surgery. During the procedure, the provider will make an incision in the gums, create an opening in the jaw, place the dental implant, and close the incision. This is all done in the dental office, and the patient is able to return home the same day. It’s recommended that a healing process of at least two months occurs before the final restoration (crown, for instance) is placed.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are the longest-lasting teeth replacement option currently available. With proper care and maintenance, including regular cleanings and check-ups, they can last a lifetime. The restoration on top of the implant does have a shorter life expectancy, which depends on the materials used and the care given (both at home and professionally).

Are dental implants painful?

They could be, but at the Spodak Dental Group office, they don't need to be! We offer a complete range of sedation options, so if you’d like to sleep through your procedure and enjoy a pain-free implant, we can provide that for you!

Can dental implants be used to replace multiple missing teeth?

Yes, dental implants are a great option for replacing multiple missing teeth. The best way to determine how many implants you need to replace your failing or missing teeth is to partner with a trained dental expert who can make a recommendation based on your particular needs and wants.

What factors can affect the cost of dental implant treatment?

Cost for dental implant treatment varies depending on sedation options, number of implants, materials used, as well as additional therapies needed before the implant is placed, such as bone grafts of periodontal (gum) treatment. The best way to determine accurate pricing is to partner with one of our dentists who can put together a treatment plan for you, which includes timing and pricing.

Will my dental insurance cover dental implants?

This depends on your particular plan and coverage options. Many companies will not cover implants if they are for cosmetic purposes, but will cover them if deemed medically necessary. If covered, they might cover a percentage of the treatment or up to a certain dollar amount. Our insurance specialist is happy to review your insurance allowances and help to maximize your benefits.
