Dental Implants - Paradise Valley, AZ

Dental Implants at Paradise Valley Smiles 

As we age, our teeth become weaker and more easily chipped or lost, harming your perfect smile. The good news is that thanks to advances in technology, tooth replacements such as implants are a helpful restorative service to fix any problems.

What Are Dental Implants? 

Dental implants are a type of restoration that help replace any missing teeth. They are made of titanium alloy rods drilled into the gums and covered with a porcelain crown to look like a natural tooth. 

These dental restorations are a great way to preserve facial structure and ensure that your tooth can still function and look like a natural tooth. At Paradise Valley Smiles, we perform the best single and multiple-tooth restorative dentistry. 

Benefits of Dental Implants

Depending on the amount of space you have in your mouth, the number of implants you need, and the condition of your jawbone and gums, they can benefit you to:

- Improved dental health.

- Improved functionality.

- Increased self-confidence. 

- Preservation of bone structure. 

- Reliable for at least 20 years. 

- Provide a complete and healthy-looking smile. 

- Similar appearance to natural teeth. 

- Does not change speech patterns. 

- Avoids caries risks. 

- No changes in chewing. 

How Do Implants Replace a Tooth? 

Evaluating a dental implant is the first step in the tooth replacement process. Your trusted dentist will meet with you to discuss the available options together. They will decide whether or not your jawbone is strong enough to support a dental implant. 

Once a single tooth replacement has been chosen as the best option, you will need to make your first appointment for the implant. Your dentist will screw the titanium alloy rod into the gum during this appointment. It will take 2 to 3 months to heal. 

Once the jawbone has healed, you will have another appointment. During this appointment, your dentist will fit you with a custom crown - this will ensure that you have a tooth that is both natural looking and functional!

How Do Implants Replace All of My Teeth? 

The process of getting a full mouth of dental implants is long, with a period of recovery time. However, once this procedure is done, you can count on having beautiful, functional teeth for at least 20 years (as long as you take care of them). 

The consultation with your dentist is the first step in the process. Here he will determine if you are a good candidate for the service. If you are, he will explain the procedure, costs, and possible complications and answer all your questions.

Before the procedure begins, anesthesia is administered. Next, the dentist will make an incision in your gums. The implants will be screwed into the jawbone. This will be followed by 2 to 3 months for healing. During this time, the jawbone and implants will fuse and help support each other.

The last thing patients need to do is have dental crowns or bridges placed. For complete mouth replacement, the dentist will place the entire upper or lower arch of teeth on dental implants.

Importance of Dental Implants

The absence of one or more healthy teeth can seriously inhibit your ability to moderate and chew. Insufficient nutrition and jawbone deterioration are natural results of tooth loss and can make a person look and feel older than their age. 

The human body knows that missing teeth no longer require nutrients and reacts by redirecting nutrients to other areas of the body, causing the jawbone to deteriorate. 

Implants can eliminate the risk of jawbone deterioration and related side effects. Because dental implants replace tooth roots, stimulation of the jawbone will result in the retention of bone mass. No other dental prosthesis has this capability.
