There are many things patients like to ask about our artificial tooth replacement implants, so we thought to bring to attention some of the more frequently asked questions.
Most common questions asked about implant dentistry
What do dental implant treatments consist of?
There are typically two parts to the artificial teeth implant treatment process: the surgical implantation procedure and the insertion of the dental crown after a period of healing has passed.
Once our implant dentists are assured of gum health and jawbone density, a patient is ready to undergo the implantation procedure, where a metal screw-like device is strategically inserted into the most ideal position in the jawbone.
Over time, this implant device takes root into the jawbone and becomes a ‘natural’ part of the mouth. This is one of the most advantageous features of the tooth restorative treatment and is responsible for many of the benefits on offer, in particular, the advantages of stability and confidence to eat without fear of embarrassment.
How do you clean and care for a tooth implant?
Patients are always delighted to hear that natural-looking teeth implants are maintained in the same way that human teeth are, with daily brushing and flossing in addition to professional dental check-ups.
Are there any food restrictions to be aware of?
This is another answer that gets patients quite excited. As the implants are reliably secured into the jawbone and have minimal chance of moving out of position, patients can eat whatever foods they like.
How many implants do I need?
The answer to this question can only be determined during a consultation appointment in which our implant dentist will carefully examine a patient’s situation. We will discuss all details of the treatment plan including the number of implants required, as well as where implants are to be inserted to restore full function to your mouth.
Will others be able to tell if I have teeth implants?
Artificial teeth implants resemble natural human teeth in form and function and so one cannot easily tell them apart from the other teeth in the mouth. This perfect complement of looks and structure is one of the reasons why both patients and dentists have made this treatment option their go-to missing teeth replacement choice.
Who is a suitable candidate for implant dentistry?
We require all implant dentistry patients to be in good dental health with healthy gums and good jawbone density. Certain medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes may present challenges and patients need to disclose accurate information regarding their medical histories.
For answers to all other questions such as cost of treatment and how long the process takes, please arrange for a consultation at Hertford Dental Care, as answers will relate to the individual case of each patient.
