Dental Implants

At Southwest Dentistry, we are committed to providing exceptional dental care for your entire family. We understand the importance of dental health and its impact on your overall well-being. One of our primary areas of expertise is dental implants, a reliable solution for missing teeth.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are designed to replace missing teeth. They consist of three main components: the implant, the abutment, and the crown. The implant, typically made of titanium, is surgically placed into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation. The abutment connects the implant to the crown, which is a custom-made prosthetic tooth. 

Advantages of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options, including:

• Stability and Durability: Dental implants provide a long-lasting solution, offering stability and durability comparable to natural teeth.
• Improved Chewing and Speaking Abilities: With dental implants, you can enjoy restored biting force and enhanced speech clarity, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and communicate with confidence.
• Preservation of Facial Structure and Bone Health: By stimulating the jawbone, implants help prevent bone loss and maintain the natural contours of your face, supporting your overall facial structure and preventing a sunken appearance.

The Dental Implant Process

Our dental implant process is carefully tailored to meet your specific needs. It involves several stages:

• Initial Consultation and Examination: We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your oral health, including X-rays and examinations, to determine your eligibility for dental implants.
• Treatment Planning and Customization: Our experienced team will create a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs, taking into account factors such as the number of missing teeth, gum and jawbone condition, and overall dental health.
• Implant Placement Procedure: The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia and sedation, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
• Healing and Osseointegration Period: Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the surrounding bone, forming a strong bond through a process called osseointegration.
• Placement of the Abutment and Crown: Once the implant has fully integrated, the abutment is attached, and the custom-made crown is securely placed, restoring the appearance and function of your natural teeth.
• Post-Treatment Care and Follow-Up: We provide thorough instructions on caring for your dental implants and schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.
