Dental implants have revolutionized the way we approach tooth loss. They offer a stable, long-lasting solution that can restore both functionality and aesthetics to your smile. At Morgan Dental Care in Westbrook, ME, we’re committed to helping you determine if you’re the right candidate for this transformative treatment. Whether you’re missing one tooth or multiple, understanding your eligibility for dental implants is the first step toward a confident smile.
Understanding Dental Implant Candidacy
At the heart of dental implant technology is a simple concept: they act as artificial roots made from titanium, providing a strong basis for replacement teeth. This integration with your jawbone ensures durability that mimics natural teeth both in function and appearance.
Who Can Benefit from Dental Implants?
Good Overall Health
Since dental implants require surgical placement, candidates should generally be in good health to ensure proper healing. This means managing any chronic conditions and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Excellent Oral Health
Before considering implants, any existing dental issues such as gum disease must be addressed. Healthy gums and supporting teeth are crucial for the success of implant surgery.
Sufficient Jawbone Density
The condition of your jawbone is a critical factor. Adequate bone density is necessary to support the titanium posts. For those lacking in bone density, procedures such as bone grafts can help improve candidacy.
Consulting with Professionals
At Morgan Dental Care, our team of experts, including Dr. Brett Morgan and Dr. Timothy Adamchuk, is dedicated to thorough evaluations and personalized care plans. As Dr. Adamchuk notes, “Dental implants are more than just a treatment; they’re a pathway to restoring not just smiles, but confidence too.” Our state-of-the-art technology, combined with our compassionate care, ensures that you’re in good hands from start to finish.
Your Journey with Dental Implants
Initial Consultation
Our process begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation. We’ll evaluate your oral and overall health to tailor an implant plan that’s right for you. During this phase, concerns and expectations are discussed in detail.
Implant Placement
The actual implant process involves the surgical insertion of titanium posts into your jawbone, followed by an integration period that allows your bone to grow around the implant securely.
Restoration and Follow-up
Once the implants have integrated, we’ll attach the final restorations – whether crowns, bridges, or dentures – ensuring they match your natural teeth impeccably. Follow-up visits will help us monitor your progress and address any concerns.
