Dental implants are the ideal way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile to its fullest without dentures or bridges. At Art Dentistry Center, we offer several implant solutions to replace any number of missing teeth.
Dentures and dental bridges used to be the only options for replacing missing teeth. But now, dental implants offer a variety of tooth loss solutions that not only replace missing teeth but also restore your ability to eat, smile, and speak without worry.
Implants are screw-like synthetic structures that are surgically placed under the gums and anchored to the jawbone. The implant acts like the roots of a natural tooth and is typically made of titanium because of its ability to fuse with bone and work as a part of the structure. Depending on your needs, we may recommend endosteal implants or All-on-4® implants.
In cases of complete tooth loss, we may recommend All-on-4® implants. All-on-4® implants can replace all of your lower or upper teeth with four screws that secure the implant to the jawbone. The implant serves as a permanent denture, without the hassle of slippage or diet restrictions that come with traditional removable dentures.
Endosteal implants are the most common type of implant if you are looking to replace one or a few individual teeth. If only one tooth is missing, or several teeth are missing that are not next to each other, Dr. Saluja can use a single implant to secure a dental crown.
Schedule an implant consultation with Dr. Saluja to find out if dental implants are right for you.
It’s important to schedule regular dental checkups so we can assess the condition of your dental implants.
It’s always best to visit Dr. Saluja for a consultation to determine if dental implants are right for you. In general, a candidate should have proper bone density and a strong immune system for the best dental implant results. In all cases, dental implants require a regular oral hygiene routine and good overall health. Smokers and women who are pregnant may not be eligible for dental implants.
At Art Dentistry Center, we are dedicated to helping our patients overcome tooth loss and enjoy a complete smile.
With proper care and routine checkups, implants can last up to 25 years or more. It can last a lifetime, but the restoration - crown, multi-tooth bridge, or full-arch denture - may need to be replaced due to normal wear.
Depending on which procedure is right for you, implants can cost from $3,000 for a single implant to $90,000 for a full set of upper and lower teeth. The best way to determine the cost is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Saluja so you can discuss your options. Flexible financing is available.
Following the procedure it’s important to adhere to a soft diet to promote healing. Regular oral hygiene is helpful in increasing the longevity of the implant. It’s important to note that smoking may increase the risk of implant failure.
Although each patient’s experience is different, most people find that it’s not as painful as they thought and are fine to return to work the next day. We also offer different kinds of pain management and sedation. Pain management may also be discussed at your consultation or if you’re feeling uncomfortable during the procedure.
With any surgery, there are risks, however the benefits of having implants far outweigh the risks. Side effects are usually minor and may include pain, swelling, and bleeding. As long as you choose a highly qualified and experienced dentist for your implant procedure, like Dr. Saluja, the risks are usually minor. Because implants are made from a biocompatible titanium material, they are typically very safe.
Once in a while a more serious infection can occur (peri-implantitis that can lead to implant failure that could require removal of the implant and additional treatments. But this can usually be prevented with proper care and oral hygiene.
If you experience any complications with your dental implants, call Dr. Saluja’s office immediately to schedule an appointment. It’s always best to be proactive to minimize harm to the surgical site.
