What are dental implants?

Dental implants are a restorative solution to replace one or more damaged or missing teeth and enhance the appearance of your smile. Implants can also restore the function of your teeth, so you can speak and chew food without difficulty.

Aesthetic Dentistry of Noe Valley offers dental implant procedures to replace one or more missing teeth. They have extensive experience performing dental implant surgery and designing treatment plans to meet your oral health needs.

When should I consider dental implants?

You should consider the dental implant services available at Aesthetic Dentistry of Noe Valley if you have one or more missing teeth that affect your smile or your ability to chew without discomfort.

The dental team uses advanced diagnostic technologies to assess your overall oral health and determine if you’re a candidate for dental implants. They also perform a comprehensive dental exam to ensure your jawbone is healthy enough to support the implant.

Dental implants require a time commitment, as the procedure is done in several steps. If you’re not a candidate for implants, the team may recommend other cosmetic dentistry services like crowns or porcelain veneers to improve your oral health and smile.

What can I expect when getting dental implants?

The first part of the dental implants process involves surgery to affix titanium posts in your jawbone. The posts eventually fuse to your jawbone to create a reliable support system for an artificial tooth.

If you don’t have sufficient jawbone to support the post, the team can use a bone graft before surgically implanting the post. You need time to heal after surgery. It can take several months for your jaw to heal before moving on to the next step.

After your jaw heals, the team attaches an artificial tooth to the post. The artificial tooth looks and functions just like your natural tooth. The Aesthetic Dentistry of Noe Valley can replace a single missing tooth or provide full mouth implants.

You care for your dental implants just like your natural teeth by brushing and flossing regularly to keep your gums and jaw healthy. You also need to keep up with regular dental appointments for routine checkups and cleanings.
