Permanent Solution

Dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution for replacing one or more missing teeth.

Preserve Jawbone Density

Dental implants help maintain jawbone density, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth.

Superior Stability

Unlike dentures, dental implants are fixed in place, providing exceptional stability and allowing you to chew and speak naturally.

Preserve Natural
Tooth Structure

Dental implants don’t require altering adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridges, preserving your natural tooth structure.

Why Dental Implants Are the Best Choice for Tooth Replacement

At PureHealthDental & Airway, we believe that dental implants are the superior choice for replacing missing teeth. Unlike traditional methods such as removable appliances or bridges, dental implants offer numerous advantages, making them the preferred option for many patients. Here’s why our experts recommend dental implants:
  • Prevent Bone Resorption: Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that maintains jawbone density, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth extraction.
  • Preserve Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges or partial dentures, dental implants do not compromise the health of adjacent teeth​.
  • High Success Rates: With over four decades of documented success, dental implants boast the highest long-term success rates among all tooth replacement solutions.
  • Cost-Effective: Built to endure, dental implants not only support bone health and preserve nearby teeth but also offer a financially sound investment for the future.

Types of Dental Implants

We offer a range of dental implant options tailored to your specific needs and preferences, including:

  • Titanium Implants: Renowned for their strength and longevity, titanium dental implants integrate seamlessly with the 
jawbone, ensuring a stable and durable foundation for your replacement teeth​.
  • Zirconia Implants: Made from ceramic material, zirconia dental implants are metal-free, making them an excellent choice for patients with metal sensitivities or those seeking a more natural alternative.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

With modern dental implant technology, most patients can benefit from this advanced tooth replacement solution. During your consultation, we will assess several factors to determine your suitability:
We evaluate the bone in the implant area to ensure it provides a strong foundation for the implants.
We’ll determine the optimal number of implants required to achieve the best functional and aesthetic outcomes.
If necessary, we’ll identify any additional treatments needed to enhance the look and function of your implants.
We employ state-of-the-art 3D imaging to capture detailed views of your teeth, bone, and facial structures. This technology enables us to create a precise and personalized treatment plan. After a thorough evaluation, your surgeon will work closely with your dentist to develop a tailored plan that meets your unique needs for exceptional results.

What to Expect During the Dental Implant Procedure

1

Tooth Removal & Bone Grafting

If the affected tooth is still intact, it will need to be surgically extracted. If needed, a bone graft will be placed at the site to prepare the area for the dental implant.

2

 Implant Placement

To ensure you don’t feel any pain, your surgeon will administer anesthesia before starting the procedure. The surgical site will be prepared, and the dental implant will be placed. A small cover screw will be attached to the implant, and a temporary replacement tooth may be inserted. The implant will be left to integrate with the bone for several weeks to a few months​.

3

Abutment Attachment

Once the bone has fused to the dental implant, a small connector post (abutment) will be attached. The best abutment for your case, often custom-made, will be chosen to provide the ideal foundation for your replacement teeth.

Replacement Teeth

In the final phase, we design and create your new crown, bridge, or set of teeth. We take detailed impressions of your teeth and abutments and send them to a skilled dental technician who custom-makes your replacement teeth. Your dentist will carefully select a shade that perfectly matches your natural teeth. Once the new teeth are crafted, they will be firmly attached to the abutments, completing your treatment and restoring your smile.

Dental Implant Risks and Complications

While dental implants are generally safe and effective, there are some risks and complications associated with the procedure:

  • Infection: Infection can occur at the implant site if proper oral hygiene is not maintained.
  • Nerve Damage: Nerve damage can cause pain, numbness, or tingling in the gums, lips, or chin.
  • Sinus Problems: Dental implants placed in the upper jaw can protrude into the sinus cavities, causing sinus issues.
  • Implant Failure: Although rare, dental implants can fail if they do not integrate properly with the jawbone​.

Cost of Dental Implants

Understanding the cost of dental implants is essential when considering this tooth replacement option. The cost of dental implants can vary based on several factors, including the type of implant, the number of implants needed, and any additional procedures required. Dental implants are a long-term investment in your oral health, offering significant benefits over other tooth replacement options.
