Get the information you need on dental implants today from your Virginia Biological Dentistry
In the last hundred years, we have seen tremendous growth in medicine thanks to various types of implants. Today, different biological structures are replaced with man-made stents, joints, and other implants. Dentistry has been forever altered, in the most advantageous way, thanks to the development of dental implants for tooth replacement.
Understanding the technology behind dental implants
Dental implants look like very small screws. They are made of high-quality titanium, the same material that has been used in medical implants. Research suggests that titanium has a very low risk of allergic response or rejection. A benefit of titanium is that bone readily fuses to an implant made of titanium.
Understanding the dental implant procedure
If you have lost a tooth, it is important to us to get you back to your healthiest, most comfortable state as quickly as possible. With dental implants and the technologies used today, your Virginia Biological Dentistry can achieve this goal. The implant procedure is performed with local anesthetic, which numbs the area. The implants are placed precisely, and they are covered by gum tissue.
After the initial procedure, the next several months will involve healing beneath the gums. During this time, you will not be uncomfortable, and you will be able to eat just about anything you’d like. After the implants have fully stabilized in the bone, we can move forward to the seating of the final restoration, which may be a crown, bridge, or denture.
Understanding the benefits of dental implants
Longevity is one of the primary goals of restorative dentistry, and dental implants meet this requirement with ease. Because the titanium posts become encased in bone, they can remain stable for a lifetime. The main threat to implants is gum disease, which can be prevented with good oral care. Dental implant restorations look, feel and function like natural teeth. Many patients report that they cannot tell the difference between their artificial teeth and their natural teeth.
We understand the gravity of tooth loss, and we can help you prevent the consequences of this problem. Call Virginia Biological Dentistry at (804) 381-6238.
