Are you missing one, several, or a complete arch of teeth? Or maybe you are tired of dentures shifting or slipping at the most awkward times. At Dental Care of Madison, we offer dental implants, the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Our skilled dentists will evaluate your unique needs to help you determine whether implant dentistry is right for you. Contact our Madison, MS, practice today to get your smile back on track.
Dental implants are small, screw-shaped posts made from a biocompatible titanium material. They are placed in your jawbone, replacing your missing tooth roots. As the area heals, your implants will fuse to your jawbone in a process known as osseointegration, providing a secure and stable foundation to support replacement teeth that are custom-crafted to match your natural teeth. Once in place, your new implant restoration will help you regain your beautiful, healthy, and functional smile.
We are pleased to offer the following implant restoration options right here at our Madison practice:
Single Implants: A single dental implant is designed to replace a missing tooth from the crown to the root. It consists of a dental implant placed in the jawbone covered by a natural-looking dental crown. Your single tooth implant will restore your healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.
Implant-Supported Bridges: Unlike traditional fixed bridges that are attached to crowns placed on natural teeth, these implant-supported restorations are anchored to dental implants placed securely in your jawbone. They offer a long-lasting solution for replacing multiple teeth in a row without altering any of your neighboring teeth. Implant-supported bridges provide exceptional stability, comfort, and function, restoring your complete smile.
Implant-Supported Dentures: Implant-supported dentures offer a more stable alternative to traditional dentures. These removable overdentures are secured to a few dental implants strategically placed in the jawbone. Your new replacement teeth will provide superior stability, comfort, and aesthetics, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence once again.
Candidates for implant dentistry are individuals missing one, several, or all of their teeth. They are generally in good health and have healthy gums. Conditions like gum disease or uncontrolled diabetes need to be managed and treated before restoring your smile with dental implants.
It's also important to have adequate jawbone quality and density to support your implants. However, even if you have bone loss, a bone graft can help restore your candidacy for implant dentistry. But what if you have crooked or crowded teeth or a misaligned bite? You can still be eligible for implant dentistry, but we will likely recommend orthodontic treatment prior to implant placement to enhance the appearance and function of your smile.
Before deciding to start your implant journey, it's important to be willing to commit to maintaining good oral hygiene habits. Regular brushing, flossing, and visits to Dental Care of Madison for your routine dental exams and cleanings are important for the long-term success of your implants.
Restoring your smile with dental implants begins with a personalized consultation, during which our experienced dentists will evaluate your unique needs and help you determine whether dental implants are right for you. If you have been missing teeth for some time and have experienced bone loss, you may require a bone graft to provide a solid foundation for your dental implants, ensuring the procedure's success. We may also treat cavities, periodontal disease, or misaligned teeth in preparation for your implant process.
The procedure starts by numbing the area to help you feel comfortable during treatment. Once you are ready, your oral surgeon will place one or several dental implants in your jawbone, depending on the extent of your tooth loss. As the area heals in the following few months, your biocompatible implants will integrate with the jawbone, providing a secure foundation for your replacement teeth.
After healing is complete, our team at Dental Care of Madison will capture digital impressions of your teeth without having to deal with messy or gooey putty. Our partner dental lab will use these models to create your implant crown, bridge, or overdentures. Your new replacement teeth are meticulously crafted to look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Dental implants are the best available solution for replacing missing teeth. They offer numerous benefits, including the following:
