You’ve probably heard a lot about dental implants, but you may still have a few questions. Discover why dental implants are the most revolutionary tooth replacement option available. You also need to know why you should choose dental implants. Dr. Mohamed Waheed at Elite Dentistry in Addison, Illinois offers a wide range of dental services including dental implant treatment, to give you a great smile.
These are just a few of the most frequently asked questions and answers about dental implants:
What are the advantages of dental implants?
They look completely natural, because the dental implant crown is made of light-reflective material that looks just like tooth enamel. They also are completely stable because they are firmly embedded in bone, so they won't move around. You can also brush and floss dental implants right along with your natural teeth, so it’s easy to keep your smile healthy.
Are dental implants conservative?
Yes. When you receive dental implants, only the implant area is treated. Dental bridges require placing crowns on the adjacent teeth, to provide attachment for the bridge.
How many teeth can dental implants replace?
Dental implants can replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. They can also provide a supportive framework for a denture, which is snapped in place over the implants.
Do dental implants fail?
Rarely. In fact, dental implants are the most successful surgical implant, with a success rate of over 95 percent, according to the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
