Advantages of Dental Implants

While Bellevue NE dental implants have been around for many years, in recent years, they are gaining popularity. This is due to many of the benefits they have over other options for lost teeth. Let’s take a look at those now.

Enhanced facial and skeletal characteristics.

Bellevue NE Dental implants protect the healthy tissue of natural teeth by eliminating the need to reduce the size of neighboring teeth in order to accommodate conventional bridgework. They will also help preserve bone and significantly reduce bone resorption and deterioration, which can lead to jaw bone loss.

Bellevue NE Dental implants not only help to restore the structure of your jawbone, but they also help to preserve natural tooth tissue. This reduces bone resorption and deterioration and reduces the load that is placed on the remaining oral structures and teeth. 

Improves Chewing

Dental implants, just like natural teeth, are anchored to the jaw bone. This will eventually contribute to the preservation of the jaw bone and a significant reduction in bone resorption. This makes them a very secure alternative to natural teeth. In fact, they allow patients to bite down as hard as they would on their natural teeth without issues. This isn’t the case for dentures and other tooth replacement alternatives that sit on top of the jawbone.

High Success Rate

Bellevue NE Dental implants have a very high success rate and will last for a lifetime if taken care of properly. They will allow the patient to maintain jaw bone and also chew as they would with their natural teeth.  

As long as the patient is in good health both physically and orally, there shouldn’t be an issue.

Natural looking

Your dentist will collaborate with you to design implants that are the same shade as the teeth surrounding the gap in your smile and fit perfectly. No one other than you and your dentist will be able to determine which teeth are implants.

No embarrassing slippage

Patients who have dentures may experience feelings of embarrassment when speaking, laughing, or eating in public because dentures can move around visibly inside of your mouth or slip out of place. Dental implants are permanently fixed in place and will never cause you to feel self-conscious about your smile.

What Exactly Is Involved in the Dental Implant Procedure?

Dental implant surgery can typically be performed as an outpatient procedure. The implant is fabricated from titanium as well as other materials that, once integrated with the jawbone, mimic the root of a natural tooth. With the help of this artificial root, your dentist will be able to firmly anchor your replacement teeth. This makes them feel stable while also blending in with the rest of your teeth.

Getting Bellevue NE dental implants requires a few appointments. This includes an appointment for a consultation, one for the placement of the implant, and another appointment for the attachment of the new teeth. The Dental Implant Centre also offers same day service. 

When Can I Expect to Receive My Implants, and for How Long?

The amount of time necessary to get implants varies from patient to patient and is determined by several different factors. It begins with an examination and planning phase, continues with surgical implantation of implants, follows with a healing phase, and concludes with the attachment of final restorations to the implants.

Consultation with our Bellevue, NE, dental care provider is recommended. This will allow us to evaluate the patient’s medical history, dental history, and current condition and to determine the treatment approach that will be most effective.
