Common Questions About Dental Implants
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in your jaw to support custom restorations like crowns or bridges. They integrate with your bone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike traditional options, implants help prevent bone loss and maintain your jaw's structure. Once healed, they restore full function, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile naturally.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last for decades, often a lifetime. The implant itself is designed to be permanent, while the crown or bridge attached to it may need occasional maintenance or replacement. Good oral hygiene, regular checkups, and avoiding damaging habits like grinding your teeth can help extend the lifespan of your restoration. Dr. Herbert will monitor your implants during routine visits to ensure long-term success.
How do I care for my dental implants after the procedure?
Caring for dental implants is similar to maintaining natural teeth. Brush and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup and maintain healthy gums. Regular dental checkups are essential for monitoring the condition of your implant and surrounding bone. Dr. Herbert will assess the stability of your restoration and provide personalized tips to protect your implant for the long term.
