Dental Implants in Mesa, AZ

Dental implants are small posts or screws surgically inserted into the jawbone, serving as stable anchors for replacement teeth.
They are an excellent choice for tooth replacement because they offer secure, natural-feeling, and visually appealing results. Since implants fuse permanently with the jawbone, there is no risk of teeth shifting, unlike with dentures.

Dental Implants in Mesa, AZ

Pre-requisites for dental implantsDental implants need adequate jawbone density to be successful. If your jawbone is insufficient, your dentist in Mesa, AZ may recommend a bone graft.This procedure adds bone to your jaw, and after healing, the new bone integrates with your jaw, providing a stronger base for the implants.

Dental implant procedure

The dental implant procedure involves three main steps:● Inserting the titanium post.● Allowing time for healing.● Placing the dental crown.First, the titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as the tooth root. Next, the jawbone heals and fuses to the post in a process called osseointegration, which takes several months. Finally, a dental crown is attached to the post, restoring the tooth’s appearance while the jawbone continues to heal.

Benefits of dental implants

The titanium posts fuse with your jawbone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike dentures, implants remain secure and do not move or slip, allowing you to speak clearly and enjoy all your favorite foods. Key benefits of dental implants include:● Ability to replace one, multiple, or all teeth● Enhances oral health● Boosts confidence by restoring missing teeth● Prevents bone loss● Stops teeth from shifting● Can last a lifetime with proper care

The durability of dental implants

Dental implants are designed to last for many years, often a lifetime. They have a very high success rate, with most implants lasting 40 years or more when maintained through good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
