ENHANCE THE WAY YOU SMILE WITH DENTAL IMPLANTS
Missing teeth can make you feel awkward while you eat, talk, or smile, and may even develop oral health issues as well. Despite advancements in oral care, zillions of people suffer tooth loss, majorly due to tooth damage, periodontal issues, or severe injury.
The only treatment options provided to people with missing teeth for several years were bridges and dentures. But, today, dental implants are an excellent solution for enhancing your dental health and have witnessed an upsurge in popularity.
The innovation of new technology and progress in the medical and dental care industry has also made dental implantation a less risky and more reliable substitute to popular options of the past. They will completely look, feel and function as naturally as your original teeth.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental Implants are false tooth roots. They are titanium cylinders that look like screws. The dentist surgically fixes them into your jawbone where there are missing teeth below the gums.
Implants are built of Titanium, which is biocompatible. This means it is naturally accepted by the body. And you do not need to fret about any allergic reactions! Once the dentist installs them, they get affixed to your natural bone. The healing period may take from 6 to 12 weeks.
The Implants act as a firm base and give support to one or more artificial teeth, called ‘crowns’. In place of one or more separate crowns, few patients may have attachments positioned on the implant that preserve and support a removable denture.
Types of Dental Implants
Dental implants can be available in various sizes, heights, and kinds. Our dentist, Dr. Albadri can help you determine which type is apt for you, based on your specific requirements. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry states two types of dental implants to be safe.
- Endosteal implants (in the jawbone) – This is one of the most commonly used implants. The dentist surgically inserts as a substitute on patients with bridges or removable dentures.
- Subperiosteal implants (on the bone) – the dentist provides this type of implant to patients who are unable to wear conventional dentures and have insufficient bone height.
What are the Benefits of Implants?
- Preserve remaining healthy natural teeth
It gives you long-lasting, completely functional alternatives for your missing teeth without harming your other natural teeth.
- Enhance appearance
As Dental Implants attach with bone, they become permanent. Since they feel and look like your original teeth, you can get back your natural smile.
- High success rate
In general, they do have a success rate of 95 to 98 percent. When you practice healthy oral habits, they can last a lifetime.
- Prevent bone loss
They can safeguard the health of your jawbone, unlike fixed bridges. Because the dental implant replaces the natural tooth root, the jawbone will once again receive stimulation and stop further degradation.
- Improved speech
With Implants you don’t have to worry while speaking that teeth might slip, which happens in the case of dentures.
- Less costly in the long run
Though implants tend to be a costly process upfront, the thing you should take note of is that this is a one-time expense. When you practice proper oral care, implants don’t need any more repair or replacement. They are durable and stay for a lifetime. In short, you will truly save money in the long run.
- Make eating easy
When you chew and bite with implants, it is equal to chewing with your original teeth. They allow you to enjoy your favorite foods without any restrictions.
- Convenience
You do not need any messy adhesives to keep them in position.
Who is a Candidate for Dental Implants?
To receive implants, you ought to have:
- Healthy gums
- Adequate bone to hold the implant (or be a candidate for bone grafting)
- Committed to proper oral hygiene habits and regular dental visits to secure the long-term success and strength of the dental implants
If you’re suffering from serious chronic disorders – like diabetes or heart disease or have had radiation therapy to the head/neck area or are even a heavy smoker, your dentist will examine you on an individual basis.
Treatment Planning
The latest technology, highly accurate 3D digital imaging, and implant surgical planning software have made implant surgeries quicker and extremely predictable. Before any surgery is carried out for the implant, Dr. Albadri will draft an effective treatment plan as per your specific needs. This plan will address which processes are required for your case, the cost, and the timeline of getting your implant done.
With the help of the tools, our dentist will analyze your jawbone structure and determine the perfect placement of the implant. This saves time and money and lessens recovery time.
How painful is the Procedure?
There is very minimal discomfort involved in the procedure. Local anesthesia can be given during the surgery. Our maximum patients stated that implants give less pain than even a tooth extraction. After the implant procedure, mild soreness can be dealt with over-the-counter pain medications.
Cost of Implants
The cost of dental implants varies from person to person. The best way to get an appropriate estimate of what your average cost will be is by calling us to schedule a consultation.
Prevention and Care for your Implants
Dental implants need the same care as your original teeth. This involves:
- Brushing twice daily
- Flossing once a day
- Rinsing your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash
- Regular dental check-ups
Following this oral regimen will also improve your overall health status.

I have been going to Aero Dentistry for over 10 years, Dr. Larson/ Dr. Albadri have always taken good care of me along with their awesome staff. The office has been updated recently and it’s looking fantastic, clean and fresh! Also, if you haven’t met Kathy at the front desk, well, you should because she’s the nicest person you’ll meet. Thank you Aero Dentistry!
I am always greeted warmly by the front desk when I walk in, and have not had any issues when getting my teeth cleaned or during any other appointments. I have been going here for years and have had great experiences. Overall a great place to go for your dental needs!
So I am 49 going on 50 years old and hadn't seen a dentist in decades since my grandfather had retired from his dental practice. I have always had major reservations in seeing a dentist ever since then because I had of course received such good care from my grandfather I had fear the experience would be completely different. Not so if your visit is to Aero Dentistry.
