Dental Implants:
The Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These posts provide a strong foundation for the attachment of custom-made dental crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants are renowned for their durability, functionality, and ability to closely resemble natural teeth in appearance and function.

The Dental Implant Process at Pristine Dental Care

At Pristine Dental Care, we follow a comprehensive and personalized approach to dental implant treatment. Here's an overview of the process:

• Initial Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dental implant specialist will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and perform a thorough examination, including dental X-rays or 3D imaging to assess the quality and quantity of your jawbone.
• Treatment Planning: Based on the examination and assessment, a customized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific needs. This plan will outline the number of implants required, the placement technique, and the type of restoration that will be attached to the implants.
• Implant Placement: The dental implant placement procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. Our skilled implant specialist will carefully position the titanium implants into the jawbone at predetermined locations. Over time, the implants will fuse with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation.
• Healing and Osseointegration: After implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to integrate with the jawbone. This process typically takes a few months, during which temporary restorations may be provided to maintain aesthetics and function.
• Restoration Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, custom-made dental crowns, bridges, or dentures will be securely attached to the implants, providing a lifelike and functional replacement for your missing teeth. Our dental team will ensure that the restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, allowing you to smile, speak, and eat with confidence.

Maintaining Dental Implants: Tips for Longevity

To ensure the longevity and success of your dental implants, it's crucial to maintain good oral hygiene and follow these tips:

• Brush and Floss Regularly: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily to remove plaque and debris from around the implants and gums.
• Attend Regular Check-ups: Visit Pristine Dental Care for routine check-ups and professional cleanings. Our dental team will monitor the health of your implants, examine your oral tissues, and provide preventive care to maintain the integrity of your implant-supported restorations.

• Protect Your Implants: If you participate in activities that carry a risk of facial trauma, such as contact sports, wear a mouthguard to protect your dental implants and natural teeth from injury.
• Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Eat a balanced diet, limit sugary foods and drinks, and avoid excessive alcohol consumption. A healthy lifestyle contributes to overall oral health and the longevity of your dental implants.
