Understanding Dental Implants

The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as artificial roots to support replacement teeth. They offer numerous benefits:

  • Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like your natural teeth.
  • Improved Functionality: Restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
  • Preservation of Bone Structure: Prevent bone loss that often occurs with tooth loss.
  • Long-lasting Solution: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

FAQs about Dental Implants at My Dentist Culver City

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

Who is a good candidate for dental implants?

Most people who are in good health and have enough bone in their jaw to support an implant can be considered for dental implants. A thorough evaluation during your consultation at My Dentist Culver City will determine if you are a suitable candidate.

Are dental implants painful?

The procedure to place dental implants is typically performed under local anesthesia and is generally not painful. Some discomfort and swelling may be expected after the surgery, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

How long does the dental implant process take?

The entire process can vary depending on individual cases, but it usually takes several months. This includes the initial surgery to place the implant, the healing period, and the placement of the final crown, bridge, or denture.

How successful are dental implants?

Dental implants have a high success rate, often above 95%. Success depends on various factors, including the health of the patient, the quality and quantity of bone, and the proper maintenance of the implant.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth, including brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and regular dental check-ups and cleanings.

Can dental implants fail?

While dental implants generally have a high success rate, they can fail due to factors like poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or excessive biting forces. Smoking can also increase the risk of implant failure.

How much do dental implants cost?

The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the number of implants and the complexity of the case. We provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation, and we can discuss financing options as well.

Does insurance cover dental implants?

Dental insurance coverage for implants varies. Some plans may cover a portion of the cost, while others may not. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific details regarding implant coverage.

Will dental implants look and feel like my natural teeth?

Yes, dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. They are custom-made to match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth for a natural appearance.
