General Information on Dental Implants

Dental implants are a great alternative to living with missing teeth. Thanks to all the advancements in this type of dental restoration, now getting dental implants is more beneficial than ever. Check out our video for more information!

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implant surgery replaces tooth roots with screw-like posts made of metal and artificial teeth made of porcelain, metal, or a combination of the two materials, that look and function the same as natural teeth. During the surgery, the damaged tooth is removed, and the jawbone is prepared for surgery. After the jaw heals, an oral surgeon places the implant post into the jawbone. The overall healing period can take several months. Once healed, patients return to the oral surgeon so that they can place the abutment — or extension of the post. Once the jaw and the soft tissue in and surrounding the area heals, the patient will then see their dentist so that the dentist can take a mold of the teeth in order to place the final crown on top of the abutment.

Benefits of Dental Implants

There are many benefits to receiving dental implants. These include:

  • Dental implants last for life.
  • Each implant sets independently inside the jaw allowing it to work without depending on the teeth surrounding it.
  • Speaking and eating is easier due to the lack of bulky dentures or partials.
  • Your other teeth will be preserved.
  • Your face will maintain its appearance without the shrinkage caused from having an entire mouth of teeth pulled.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dental implants cost?
Single implants usually require an investment between $5,000 – $6,000 per implant.
How long will the implant last?
Implants require the same amount of care as a natural tooth. With proper care and a regular oral hygiene routine, your dental implants should last a lifetime.
How long does the procedure take?
To fit an implant the procedure can take up to 3-5 hours, depending on a patient’s specific treatment plan and needs.
Do I need to be put under anaesthesia for the procedure?
No. Dental implants can be fitted to the patient by using a local anaesthetic or through “sleep dentistry”.
Sleep dentistry involves the use of IV Sedation. Sleep dentistry can help alleviate the anxiety often experienced by people when visiting the dentist. It is also a safer option than any general anaesthetic. Your sedation is managed by a professional medical doctor who monitors your condition during the implant procedure to ensure the highest levels of safety and comfort.

Best of all, sleep dentistry does not require hospitalisation, this means that your implant procedure can be done right here at Pasadena dental & Implant centre.
