Glendale AZ Dentist For Implants

Unlike removable dentures, North Phoenix dental implants can be treated just like natural teeth. Maintain normal oral health care standards by brushing and flossing twice a day and make sure you schedule your routine checkups at least twice a year or as frequently as your dentist recommends.

Not only can the gap caused by the loss of a tooth cause shattering damage to your self-confidence and self-image, but even a single lost tooth can cause additional oral health problems. The gums and bone normally anchored to your tooth can recede, causing other teeth to shift and even potentially changing the shape of your jaw and appearance of your face over time. Oral care can also become a problem when there are gaps in your teeth, creating breeding grounds for bacteria and oral disease.

Losing just one tooth can have serious effects to your self esteem and health. Not only will it be very noticeable when you smile, but teeth are anchors for bones and gums and if the tooth is gone, they will recede. This can lead to the shifting of other teeth and ultimately may change the shape of your jaw or even your face. Additionally, it can make oral and dental care quite challenging as gaps may start to be breeding grounds for bacteria and subsequent infection and tooth loss may occur. It is best to consult your Arrowhead dental implant dentist as soon as you lose a tooth or are dealing with oral trauma to counteract any problems that may arise or have arisen already.

Dental implants, placed by a Peoria cosmetic dentist like Dr. Ceyhan, are permanent tooth replacements that don’t need special care or removal and are an excellent alternative to removable dentures. Surgically implanted directly into the jawbone, the metal or ceramic material of the implant fuses with your bone in a process known as “osseointegration”, creating a stable anchor for your new teeth. It takes between three and six months for your implant to heal, and at this point your dentist can complete your restoration by placing the permanent crown. Implants can be placed for a single tooth, several teeth in a row with a bridge, or if most or all of your teeth on a jaw are unsalvageable, you should speak to your North Phoenix dentist about full jaw replacement such as All-On-Four treatment options.

There are several different options for your new restoration, all of which are custom fabricated to fit perfectly in your mouth. Glendale dental crowns are caps that are cemented directly to the implant’s abutment. Each implant will have its own separate crown. You can get crowns made of metals such as gold alloy crowns, ceramic, or the most popular option are porcelain crowns. Fixed bridges can replace one tooth, or a series of several teeth in a row and gain their name because they are attached to healthy teeth or implants on either side of the missing teeth. If you have four teeth in a row that are extracted, a fixed bridge would allow you to have four replacements sit on only two implants, one on each side of the gap. Another option is overdentures, a denture that is held in place with implants. This removable option is great for those who need more hold and security from their full or partial denture. The last option is a permanent full-jaw replacement prosthetic, resting on just four implants. These “permanent dentures” are frequently marketed under terms such as Teeth-in-a-Day™ or All-on-4® treatment concepts.

After your new restorations have been placed, no matter which type you choose, they will look and feel like real teeth. You will be able to smile freely, chew hard foods without having to worry about restricting your diet, and speak normally. You should feel confident in your new smile, and know that dental implants have an extremely high success rate, with a total timeline from your first appointment to the placement for your permanent restoration of about three to six months. While many Peoria dental implant restorations need no extra care beyond regular brushing, flossing and preventative checkups, be sure to speak with your dentist to find out if your restoration requires any specific care.
