Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are Dental Implants?A dental implant is not a tooth; instead, it is a prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. It has the highest satisfaction rate for natural tooth replacement and it’s the best long-term replacement solution to your natural teeth. In its basic form, it is a small titanium post/fixture that is inserted into the jawbone, on top of which a single crown or (cap), a fixed bridge, a partial denture, or even a full denture can be attached. Once the implant integrates into your bone, the artificial tooth or teeth are attached.
-
Who is a good Candidate for Dental Implants?Anyone missing a tooth, multiple teeth, or even all teeth are eligible for dental implants. Talk to one of our Aspen expert dentists or prosthodontists about your specific smile needs.
-
Is there an advantage to Dental Implants?We are all have two sets of teeth, our baby teeth, and our adult–permanent teeth. When a single permanent tooth or multiple teeth are lost due to dental decay or gum disease, dental implants can now replace them as the 3rd set of fixed teeth. Dental implants are made of titanium and can never get dental decay. They can last a lifetime and can improve your appearance, your confidence, the ability to eat the foods you love, and participate in an active lifestyle–without worrying about your teeth.
-
How long do Dental Implants Last?Unlike your natural teeth, dental implants are not susceptible to dental diseases such as decay. The health of the gums is vital to maintaining lasting implant success. Everybody is different, and success relies upon diagnosis, planning, medical history, and a variety of other factors. Thorough care by the patient and regular professional check-ups and cleanings are essential for dental implant sustainability. Dental implants are purposed to be a permanent solution to your missing teeth. Because the implants are anchored into your bone, dentists consider implants to be the most effective and stable long-term tooth replacement option. You can expect your titanium implant to last a lifetime. Good care contributes to the longevity of your dental implants. Crowns, bridges or dentures may need to be replaced after 10 to 15 years.
-
Can I change my Dentures to Dental Implants?Yes. Certain dentures such as a ComfiLyte® can be retrofitted into an Implant supported denture also known as an overdenture. Implants are metal screws placed into the jawbone to help anchor and support artificial teeth (dentures). It may however, be possible to have implants placed beneath existing dentures to aid in the stabilization and support of those dentures. This could only be done if the current dentures were in excellent condition. You should consult with one of our expert prosthodontists to have your existing dentures carefully examined.
