Dental Implants Can Restore Your Confidence And Oral Health

Damaged or missing teeth can impact your appearance and dental health. Restorative dentistry may assist in repairing and restoring both of your smile’s components. At Intentional Smiles in Edmond, Oklahoma, Dr. Taylor Barton and his experienced team will help you decide how to improve your smile and learn about the advantages of restorative dentistry for both dental health and looks.

What are the numerous benefits offered by dental restorations, particularly dental implants?

When you lose teeth, it’s not just your smile that suffers; it can also lead to other problems. With dental implants, you can:

  • Prevents bone loss, as implants stimulate your jawbone like natural tooth roots do.
  • Restores your mouth’s natural appearance with a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like your natural teeth.
  • Improve your chewing and speech without worry.
  • Enjoy long-term durability with a restoration that’s made to last a lifetime.

Why Are Dental Implants The Best Choice?

Dental implants are the most advanced solution for tooth replacement because, unlike traditional bridges or dentures, they address the root of the problem by replacing the tooth root itself. This is crucial because your natural teeth stimulate the surrounding bone, and without this stimulation, the bone deteriorates, leading to a sunken facial appearance, amongst other problems. 

Dental implants prevent and can even reverse the effects of bone loss by re-establishing this connection between your supportive jawbone and the force generated when you move your mouth. 

How Can Implants Give You Back Your Smile?

Dental implants can function in several ways to restore your smile. They are:

What is The Implant Process?

First Dr. Barton  will conduct a thorough examination, including 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and jawbone density and discuss your treatment goals. Thereafter, he will be able to create a personalized treatment plan.

When you visit our practice again after your treatment is confirmed, we will surgically place the implant post into your jawbone. This is an outpatient procedure performed comfortably in our office. A crucial healing period follows, during which the implant will fuse with your jawbone—a process that can take several weeks to a few months.

Once this headline is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment will be placed on top of your implant. This will allow us to place your custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture, completing your new smile.

Is the procedure painful?

Your placement procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel any pain. We also offer other sedation options to ensure your comfort. You may, however, experience some discomfort or swelling in the days following your initial procedure, though these can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
