Dental ImplantsWhat are Dental ImplantsDr. Beck and Dr. Haws are excited about the future of dentistry. Dental Implants are an important part in this future. Dentures and conventional bridges are no longer the only options when replacing missing teeth. For many people, dental implants offer a smile that looks and feels very natural. Surgically placed below the gums over a series of appointments, implants fuse to the jawbone and serve as a base for individual replacement teeth, bridges or a denture.Implants offer stability because they fuse to your bone. Integration of the implants into your jaw also helps your replacement teeth feel more natural and some people find the secure fit more comfortable than conventional substitutes. Advantages of Implant DentistryDental implants are stronger and more durable than their restorative counterparts, (bridges and dentures). Implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss. Often an implant can replace a single tooth that was lost due to decay or trauma. It is a single tooth solution to a single tooth problem.Additionally, implants may be used in conjunction with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness. For example, implants can be used to support a dental bridge for the replacement of multiple missing teeth, and can be used with dentures to increase stability and reduce gum tissue irritation. Procedural advancements, including the development of narrower “mini” implants, means that more people than ever before are finding themselves candidates for implantation. However, candidacy for implantation still varies, meaning that Dr. Beck or Dr. Haws can help determine if you are a good candidate for implants. Success Rates of Dental ImplantsDental implants are among the most successful procedures in dentistry. There is no guarantee that an implant procedure will be successful, but studies have shown a five-year success rate of 95 percent for lower jaw implants and 90 percent for upper jaw implants.Implants at Clear Creek DentistryDr. Beck and Dr. Haws have undergone extensive training in order to bring this service to you in their office and continuously educate to stay up to date.
