Whether you have missing teeth or teeth that are so severely decayed that they need to be removed for the sake of your greater dental health, we strongly recommend that you don’t leave gaps in your mouth. Different kinds of replacement teeth are available, from dentures to dental implants. But what kind of replacement teeth should you get? All things considered, dental implants are the best choice currently available. Dental implants can last a long time—possibly a lifetime, with proper care—and they look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. They’re highly stable and appear so realistic that most people won’t even know you have them! As a dental practice, our staff at St. Petersburg Dental Implant Center has training in a variety of dental treatments, including dental implants. To fully understand dental implants and their benefits, we’ve put together this list of frequently asked questions. We hope you’ll find it helpful!
Dental implants have three main parts: a screw-like titanium post that’s anchored in your jaw and acts as a tooth root; a durable, natural-looking crown that enables you to chew foods normally and fills in gaps in your smile; and an abutment, which connects the other two components. The post integrates with your jawbone and becomes a permanent body part within a few months.
We can restore your jawbone density and make you a candidate for dental implants with bone grafting.
Dental implants are practically indistinguishable from natural teeth and require the same type of care. Remember to brush and floss two times daily and visit us for regular cleanings.
While dentures are a time-tested solution, dental implants integrate with the jaw just like natural tooth roots, preserve your jawbone health, and mirror natural teeth in look, feel, and function. Dental implants never slip and don’t require adhesives.
A personalized consultation with your dentist in our St. Petersburg, FL, office is the best way to begin! He’ll take time to listen to your concerns and preferences, perform a thorough evaluation, and then recommend the best implant option for you.
