What are dental implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They are small titanium posts strategically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. The implant integrates with the jawbone, providing a stable dental crown, bridge, or denture foundation. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them one of the most reliable and effective tooth replacement options.

How are implants placed?

• Implant Placement Surgery: The next step involves strategically placing the titanium implant posts into the jawbone. After surgery, a healing period of several months is necessary for the implants to fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This step is crucial for ensuring the stability and durability of the implants.
• Abutment and Restoration Placement: Once the implants have fully integrated with the bone, an abutment is attached. If you only need a single implant, our dentist can customize a crown for you to effectively match your surrounding teeth’s hue, size, and shape. For patients replacing several teeth, bridges or dentures are crafted to fit your mouth and implants.
• Final Adjustments and Follow-Up: Our dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and esthetically pleasing fit. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure the implants function properly.

Aftercare techniques for your smile post-procedure

• Consume Only Soft Foods: While implants are durable, avoiding chewing on hard or sticky foods that could damage the restoration or surrounding gums is ideal, especially during the initial healing period.
• Quit Smoking: Smoking can increase the risk of implant failure and affect the treatment and healing process. If you smoke, consider quitting to improve the longevity of your implants.
• Wear a Nightguard if Necessary: If you grind or clench your teeth at night, ask our dentist about nightguards to protect your smile!

What is the average cost of dental implants in PA?

The cost of dental implants in Pennsylvania typically depends on various factors like the type of implant, the complexity of the procedure, and whether any additional treatments (such as bone grafting) are needed. During your consultation at Bucks Mont Dental, we will provide you with a detailed cost estimate based on your specific needs.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution, and with proper care, they can last a lifetime. The titanium post that acts as the root of the implant fuses with the jawbone, creating a secure foundation. The dental crown, which sits on top of the implant, may need to be replaced after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear, but the implant itself is incredibly durable.
