Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made from titanium or ceramic, that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once in place, they provide a sturdy foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth, designed to match your natural teeth.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable base for supporting artificial teeth, including crowns, bridges, and dentures. Implants help to prevent bone loss, maintain facial structure, and provide functionality similar to natural teeth.
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Most people in good general health, with adequate jawbone to support implants, are candidates for dental implants. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, or gum disease may require additional evaluation and treatment to ensure the best outcome.
What are implant dentures?
Implant dentures are an innovative solution for individuals missing several or all of their teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, implant dentures are anchored to the jawbone with dental implants. This provides enhanced stability, improved comfort, and better chewing efficiency.
How do I choose between all-on-4 and all-on-6 implant dentures?
The choice between all-on-4 and all-on-6 implant dentures depends on your specific needs, including the quality and quantity of your jawbone. All-on-4 uses four implants per arch, while all-on-6 uses six, providing additional support. During your consultation, Dr. Herring will recommend the best option based on a thorough examination and discussion of your goals.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the dental implant procedure, often less than that of a tooth extraction. Local anesthesia is used during surgery, and sedation options may be available to ensure your comfort. Post-operative discomfort is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The success of implants depends on several factors, including oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding damaging habits like smoking.
How do I care for my dental implants or implant dentures?
Caring for dental implants and implant dentures involves regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental checkups. Special attention should be given to cleaning around the implants to prevent gum disease and ensure the longevity of your restoration.
What is the cost of dental implants and implant dentures?
The cost of dental implants and implant dentures varies based on the number of implants needed, the type of restoration, and other individual factors. Our practice offers transparent pricing and financing options to make treatment accessible. During your free consultation, we'll provide a detailed estimate tailored to your specific needs.
