Even a mouth with few or no teeth can be rebuilt with dental implants! Implant-supported dentures can be fabricated to attach directly to implants to replace complete sets of teeth and be more functional and comfortable than conventional dentures. Feel free to schedule a consultation at out Upper Arlington dentist office to find out more information about how dental implants can restore your smile and bite.
Q&A:
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
The best candidates for dental implants are healthy individuals; however, a health issue does not necessarily disqualify you. If you have a medical condition, please let us know so we can properly plan your treatment to meet your overall health needs.
How do I take care of my dental implants?
Dental implants require very little difference in home care in comparison to natural teeth. Brushing twice each day, flossing regularly, and routine professional examinations and cleanings are our recommendations for all patients – whether you have a dental implant or not.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants varies based on the type of implant, the location in the mouth, and the complexity. Every individual is unique, and each treatment plan is thoughtfully arranged in consideration of the most ideal and affordable options possible.
Do I need to replace just one tooth?
While you may have lost or be missing only a single tooth, the adjacent and opposing teeth will tend to shift over time to fill this void, and this may lead to a significant change in your overall bite and jaw function. In order to avoid these consequences, a single dental implant will not only replace a tooth, but promote proper function, stability, and appearance of your entire mouth.
