Patients that suffer from missing and/or severely damaged teeth know the toll that poor oral health and appearance can have on someone’s quality of life. Missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious, ashamed and embarrassed to the point of not wanting to laugh, smile or even go out in public.
Missing teeth can also have detrimental consequences on a person’s general health and well-being, and can result in bone structure alterations and radical changes in facial appearance. Regardless of the extent or severity of your oral health problems, however, dental implants can offer permanent, life-changing solutions. Even for patients who are missing all of their teeth, the iSmile Dental team can provide life-changing transformations that result in a brand-new perfect smile.
A dental implant is a permanent two-part structure that replaces both the visible part of a tooth (crown) and below-the-gum structure (root). Dental implant surgery involves the placement of a fixed titanium post into the jawbone, to which custom-fabricated replacement crowns are later attached. Implants can replace one tooth, several teeth or an entire mouth of missing teeth with custom-made alternatives that look, feel and function just like normal teeth.
Each and every patient is different, which is why our dental team makes it a point to conduct a detailed personal consultation with every patient prior to dental implant surgery. There are a variety of dental implant options to replace one or more teeth, including single dental implants, implant supported bridges and full arch implants. The iSmile Dental team is expertly trained to conduct thorough examinations in order to determine which type of dental implant surgery will be the most effective and beneficial for each patient. Regardless of which type of method is used, our Hiossen implants provide long-lasting, life-changing solutions to patients who are suffering from missing and/or severely damaged teeth. We also stand behind our work, and encourage patients to come in for all scheduled recare treatments, in order to get the absolute most out of their implant experience.
Unfortunately, a lot of patients are turned off from the prospect of dental implant surgery on the grounds that it is expensive, painful and time-consuming. At iSmile Dental, our team utilizes state-of-the-art technology and a variety of sedation options to ensure that the dental implant surgery process is as safe, comfortable and pain-free as possible for each and every patient. Advancements in modern dentistry are making fixed implants the gold standard in missing teeth replacement, and more often than not, implant surgery is far quicker – and less painful – than patients expect! We use advanced imagery such as CBCT scans and treatment plan showcase models to ensure that each patient’s implants are consistent with their very own unique oral architecture. This allows us to carry out even the most intricate of dental implant surgeries with precision, safety and unparalleled results.
In terms of the time it takes to receive dental implants, patients typically come in for a consultation visit, followed by surgical placement of titanium implant posts. After an estimated six-month period (which is required for the titanium posts to fuse with the jawbone), a patient will receive his or her final replacement tooth prosthetics. We also offer full sedation options (including IV, oral and nitrous oxide) to make each patient’s experience as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
While other missing teeth solutions (such as traditional dentures) may be cheaper than dental implants, implants often prove to be the far more effective – and economical – option in the long run. Full mouth restoration using dental implants results in far less care, maintenance and attention than dentures, and this equates to less pain, less hassle and less money spent over time. Dental implants also offer more than 99% functionality compared to a patient’s natural teeth, resulting in a missing teeth solution that looks, feels and functions like a normal, healthy set of natural teeth.Â
Believe it or not, dental implant surgery is far more accessible and affordable than most patients imagine. We accept most dental insurance providers and also offer affordable third-party financing options, because we believe that every patient should have access to care that results in world-class dental health and a perfect smile. We make it a point to work with patients that may have financial restrictions and budget limitations, so be sure to give our office a call today and speak with our friendly team members about the possibility of receiving a beautiful, life-changing set of dental implants.
