Implants are the<br>modern solution for replacing teeth and are now often preferred over other<br>solutions like dentures and bridges. Here are a few of the most common<br>frequently asked questions about dental implants, answered. Having more<br>knowledge of this dental treatment may inspire you to take action and call your<br>Ponte Vedra, FL dentist to see if you\u2019re a candidate for this procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Do Dental Implants Work?<\/strong><br>Dental implants are designed to serve the same purpose as the root of a tooth. They are small titanium devices that resemble screws that are inserted into the bone tissue below the gumline. When the implant heals into the bone, which may take several months, an abutment and permanent crown are placed on the top. With a porcelain or ceramic crown, the implanted tooth is indistinguishable from your other teeth.<br><br><strong>Why Are Dental Implants the Best Solution?<\/strong><br>The main reason why dental implants are the ideal solution is that they are permanent. Once they\u2019re installed, they\u2019re no different than any of your other teeth in terms of function and appearance. They also help keep the bone tissue healthy and strong. When you get dentures or bridges, the bone tissue can degrade over time.<br><br><strong>Who Can Get Dental Implants?<\/strong><br>Only patients who have generally good dental health can get dental implants. Viable bone tissue is needed to ensure that the implants will stay rooted. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to see a dentist for a tooth implant as early as possible. In some cases, a bone grafting procedure can help improve a patient\u2019s chances of having a dental implant integrate successfully.<br><br><strong>How Long Will Dental Implants Last?<\/strong><br>For patients of a certain age, a dental implant has a good chance of lasting for a lifetime. The crown part of the implant can last for up to 15 years before it may need to be replaced. Seeing your dentist at least two times every year for professional cleanings and becoming meticulous about at-home dental care will ensure that the implant (and your other teeth) stays strong and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact your Ponte Vedra, FL Dentist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implantation is a straightforward and effective procedure that can help improve your dental health and the appearance of your smile. Call your Ponte Vedra, FL dentist to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patients who have missing teeth or major toothand gum problems often have questions about dental implants.
