What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the gold standard of care, delivering tooth replacements that closely mimic nature’s design. But what exactly are dental implants? Implants are small titanium posts that are placed in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. As the area heals, the implant fuses with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, providing a sturdy foundation to support one, several, or a full set of replacement teeth.

At State Street Smiles, we offer a range of implant restoration options, including the following:

Dental Crowns:If you are missing a tooth, a custom crown can restore the health and function of your teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
Implant-Supported Bridges: If you are missing several teeth in a row, we may recommend an aesthetic bridge anchored to implants on each side of the gap, ensuring a stable and secure fit.
Overdentures: Also known as implant-supported dentures, overdentures offer removable restorations that rely on several implants to replace several or all your teeth, providing unmatched stability and function.
All-On-4s: These superior restorations rely on as few as four implants for support, offering an exceptionally stable and secure foundation for a full arch of missing teeth.

What Is the Implant Process?

Your implant process is quick and seamless, providing exceptional outcomes that are comparable to natural healthy teeth. We will start with a consultation, during which our experienced team will evaluate your unique needs and create a tailored treatment plan to restore your complete smile. While most patients are candidates for implant dentistry, bone loss can sometimes pose a challenge. The good news is that a bone graft can build up the bone in the area, allowing you to enjoy the many benefits of dental implants.

The implant process at State Street Smiles is a collaborative effort between our experienced team and a specialized oral surgeon or periodontist who will place one or more implants tailored to your unique needs. After the area has healed and the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone, we'll take digital scans of your mouth to craft implant restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implant Restoration?

Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including the following:

They Are Stable and Secure:Dental implants are embedded in the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for your implant restoration.
They Restore Function: Replacing missing teeth with dental implants will restore your ability to enjoy your favorite foods, speak clearly, and smile with confidence once again.
They Are Natural-Looking:We create implant restoration that closely mimics the color and translucency of your natural teeth, leaving you with a beautifully natural smile.
They Prevent Bone Loss: Implants act like your natural tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone and preventing the bone tissue breakdown that occurs after tooth loss.
They Stabilize Adjacent Teeth: Filling gaps in your smile helps keep the neighboring teeth from shifting, preventing crooked teeth and a misaligned bite.
They Maintain Your Facial Structure: Dental implants support your facial structure and prevent bone loss, maintaining your facial structure and your youthful contours.
They Are Durable: Implant restorations offer a durable, long-lasting tooth replacement solution that can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
