What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including a natural look and feel that blends seamlessly with your smile. They provide stability for eating and speaking, protect neighboring teeth by eliminating the need for a bridge, and prevent bone loss in the jaw. Implants are durable and can last a lifetime with proper care. Additionally, they require no special maintenance beyond regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups, making them a convenient solution for tooth replacement.
What is the process for getting dental implants?
Getting dental implants typically involves multiple steps over several months. First, Dr. Beno will evaluate your oral health and jawbone structure. Next, the titanium implant post is surgically placed in the jawbone, followed by a healing period where the implant integrates with the bone. Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom crown is secured on top. The result is a strong, natural-looking tooth replacement that restores function and appearance.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
You may be a candidate for dental implants if you have one or more missing teeth and healthy gums. Adequate jawbone density is necessary to support one or more implants, though bone grafting can help if bone loss has occurred. Candidates should also maintain good oral hygiene and overall health, as certain conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking can affect healing. A consultation with our Fort Myers dental team can determine if implants are the right choice for you.
