Dental Implants

However, remaining without teeth presents many complications. The other teeth can shift to take up that space, hence leading to bite misalignment. Also, the jawbone may start to recede because there is no tooth to stimulate its growth. Additionally, living with missing teeth can make the adjacent teeth vulnerable to decay and gum disease because the gaps tend to harbor bacterial plaque and food particles.

At Columbia Implant Center, we are committed to providing high-quality dental implant procedures to our patients to replace missing teeth. We offer advanced dental implant services to restore oral health and improve smiles.

How Do Dental Implants Work?


Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a robust base for replacement teeth. Typically crafted from biocompatible materials like titanium, dental implants are surgically implanted into the jawbone. Over time, they integrate with the bone through the process of osseointegration, ensuring stability and longevity. Once osseointegration is complete, a dental prosthetic such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, restoring both functionality and aesthetics.

Are Dental Implants Safe?


Dental implants are generally considered safe. Proper assessment of a patient's oral health and adherence to post-operative care instructions are crucial for minimizing any potential risks. Overall, with careful planning and maintenance, dental implants can provide a durable and functional solution for replacing missing teeth, be it one tooth, a few, or an entire arch of teeth.

While dental implants boast high success rates, complications can occasionally occur, though rare. These include infection, peri-implantitis, implant failure, and nerve injury. Prompt treatment and careful planning help mitigate these risks.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?


There are many advantages of dental implants, making them a preferred option for patients with missing teeth. Key benefits include their permanence, natural appearance and function, stability, ability to prevent bone loss, and their capacity to boost self-esteem and social confidence.

Dental implants provide a natural look and feel akin to real teeth, stability for surrounding teeth, preservation of facial appearance, and improved speech and chewing functionality.

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?


While individual experiences may vary, dental implants are intended as a long-term solution for tooth replacement. With proper care, they can last for decades, often a lifetime, boasting high success rates and exceeding 95% survival rates over 10 years.

Several factors influence the lifespan of dental implants, including proper oral hygiene, successful osseointegration, adequate bone density, prosthetic design and materials, surgical expertise, lifestyle habits, systemic health conditions, peri-implantitis, and excessive forces on the implants.

What Is the Procedure for Getting Dental Implants?


The dental implant procedure unfolds in multiple stages over a period of several months. Each steps demands meticulous planning and execution. It begins with a comprehensive evaluation, followed by the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone under local anesthesia. After a healing period, osseointegration occurs, followed by the attachment of an abutment and finally, the placement of a custom-made dental prosthetic.
