What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are durable, long-term tooth replacement solutions that consist of a titanium post surgically implanted into the jawbone, serving as an artificial tooth root.
An abutment connects this post to a custom-made crown, resulting in a natural-looking and fully functional tooth.
Common causes of tooth loss leading to the need for implants include decay, injury, gum disease, or congenital conditions.

What Are The Benefits of Dental
Implants
Dental implants not only help with functionality and appearance but they also come with a range of other benefits! They can:
- Enhanced Functionality: Improved ability to bite and chew.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Natural appearance that enhances your smile.
- Bone Preservation: Stimulation of the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
- Stability: Secure fit without the slipping associated with dentures.
- Oral Health: No need to alter adjacent teeth, preserving overall dental integrity.
And prevent surrounding teeth from shifting into the gap created by the missing tooth. If you are looking for a missing teeth solution, dental implants are the way to go. With these replacements, you can restore your smile to a complete and bright state.

What Are The Expected Results and Longevity of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are designed to function and appear like natural teeth, offering a significant improvement in comfort and confidence. With proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, implants can last many years, often a lifetime.
Dental implants are mounted onto metallic posts or frames that have been surgically placed between the gums in the jawbone. After the posts have healed and integrated with natural tissue, then artificial teeth can be placed on them.
Friends and family won’t even be able to tell which teeth are your natural ones
and which were replaced!
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Ideal candidates for dental implants are individuals with one or more missing teeth, sufficient jawbone density to support the implant, healthy gum tissue, and overall good health to ensure proper healing.
During your consultation, Dr. Naysan will assess your oral health to determine if dental implants are the right option for you.

Types of Dental Implants
Endosteal Dental Implants
These implants are fixed directly into the jawbone. A dental expert would recommend this implant for those with sufficient jawbone density.
Zygomatic Dental Implants
These implants go into the cheekbone rather than the jawbone. They are used when there is not enough jawbone for standard implant placement.
Mini Dental Implants
As the name implies, these implants are smaller than regular dental implants. They are for those who cannot receive large or full-size implants.or sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
Zirconia Dental Implants
If you’re looking to replace missing teeth and you need metal-free implants, you should go for this option. They are made from ceramic (Zirconia) and come in handy for those with metal reactions.
Subperiosteal Dental Implants
These implants go on top of the jawbone but below the gum tissue. It is for those who do not have enough or healthy natural jawbone for the regular procedure.
What Does The
Dental Implants Procedure Look Like?
- Consultation and Planning: Comprehensive oral examination and imaging to develop a tailored treatment plan.
- Implant Placement Surgery: Surgical insertion of the titanium post into the jawbone.
- Healing and Osseointegration: A healing period allowing the implant to fuse with the jawbone, typically over several months.
- Abutment Placement: Attachment of a connector post to the implant.
- Crown Placement: Securing a custom-made crown onto the abutment, completing the restoration.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?
Dental implants are often a lifelong investment. Like any other important decision, you’ll want to do careful research to make certain you get the best quality results for the best price. Beyond the price of a dentist’s time, which will be higher with demand, experience, and skill, many other factors determine the cost of dental implants.
Placing an implant is a surgical procedure. Make sure you are putting your trust in an experienced practitioner with a successful track record. This may cost more upfront, as less experienced or trustworthy dentists will often charge “bargain” prices. In the long run, this can result in substandard work and complications that will require future painful and pricey operations to fix.
When a price is quoted to you, verify that it covers all parts of the restoration.
- An implant alone can range between $1,500 and $3,000.
- Abutments often run between $400 – $800.
- And the crown will usually be between $800 and $2,000.
Quality Materials For Long-
Lasting Smiles
Dental implants have been on the market for several decades. Over the years, many different brands have been created. As with any product, some brands are of a higher quality than others. Companies with a proven success rate for their products, using
sophisticated materials that have lasted for years without damage or issue, will cost more than others.
Using these implants helps ensure you will not suffer breakage or loss. It is also important to remember that an implant alone will not completely restore a missing tooth. Once the implant is placed, an abutment and dental crown must also be made and attached.
Alternatives to Dental Implants
While dental implants are a highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth, they may not be the best option for everyone due to factors like cost, bone density, or personal preference. Fortunately, several alternative treatments can restore function and aesthetics to your smile.
Dental Bridges
A fixed prosthetic that fills the gap left by a missing tooth, using adjacent teeth for support. Bridges provide a natural look and function but require altering healthy teeth for placement.
Partial Dentures
A removable appliance designed to replace multiple missing teeth while preserving the remaining natural teeth. Partials offer a cost-effective and non-invasive alternative to implants.
Full Dentures
Used for patients missing an entire arch of teeth, dentures rest on the gums and can be removed for cleaning. While they restore function and appearance, they may require adhesives and periodic adjustments for a secure fit.

Most frequent questions and answers
Are dental implants safe?

What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have an exceptionally high success rate, typically ranging between 90% and 98%, depending on factors such as the patient’s overall health, oral hygiene, the quality of the bone where the implant is placed, and the expertise of the dental professional performing the procedure.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution and can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for their longevity.
What if I don't have enough bone for a dental implant?
If you lack sufficient bone density, procedures such as bone grafting can be performed to augment the bone, making dental implants a viable option.

Most patients report that dental implant surgery causes less discomfort than a tooth extraction. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, and post-operative pain can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

The dental implant process can take several months, including time for the implant to integrate with the bone and for the placement of the final restoration.
