Decoding Dental Implants for
Our Patients
At Divine Dental Centre, we understand the importance of a confident smile. Located in the serene area of Las Vegas, NM, our practice offers state-of-the-art dental implants designed to restore not just the aesthetics but also the functionality of your teeth.
Dental implants are a cornerstone of modern restorative dentistry, providing a durable and permanent solution for missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, which rest on the gum’s surface, implants are anchored directly into the jawbone, offering a stable foundation for artificial teeth. Dr. Esmael Valdez, DDS, with his profound expertise in general dentistry, emphasizes that this integration with the bone helps preserve it by preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure integrity.
The Array of Advantages
Offered by Implants
The benefits of opting for dental implants are multifaceted:
- Enhanced Appearance: Implants mimic your natural teeth closely, enhancing your smile aesthetically.
- Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.
- Improved Oral Health: Since they don’t require reducing other teeth as a bridge does, more of your natural teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.
- Ease of Eating: Implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat with confidence and without pain.
- Speech Improvement: Poor-fitting dentures can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble. Dental implants allow you to speak without worry that your teeth might move.
A Closer Look at the
ental Implant Procedure
The journey towards getting dental implants involves several steps—each critical to ensuring the longevity and success of the treatment. Initially, a comprehensive examination is conducted to assess bone density and determine if additional procedures like bone grafting are required. Following this preparation phase, the implant—a small titanium post—is placed into the bone socket of the missing tooth. As healing occurs over six to twelve weeks, the implant integrates with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. Lastly, a small connector post called an abutment is attached to hold the new tooth. After impressions of your teeth are taken, a replacement tooth or crown is then attached to the abutment.
