What You Should Know About Dental Implants Before Getting Them

Considering dental implants? In the last ten years, implants have become widely used in mainstream dentistry. Dr. Jeffrey Mason is a dental implants

world-class dentist in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ who offers state-of-the-art dental implants to his patients. Here's everything you've ever wanted to know about dental implants.

What is a Dental Implant?

Usually made of titanium, dental implants replace the roots of the missing teeth. Dental implants are inserted into the jawbone underneath your gums. Once in place, the dental implants allow your Hasbrouck Heights dentist to mount artificial teeth onto them.

What Are the Benefits of Implants?

Dental implants function, feel and look like natural teeth. They will give you the ability to eat and smile with confidence. Dental implants do not move or slip. This eliminates some of the key problems of dentures, including gum irritation and poor fit. Dental implants will also enhance your appearance and improve the quality of your life. 

How Painful Are Dental Implants?

Most individuals who have had dental implant surgery say that there's little discomfort involved in the procedure. Local anesthesia can be used during dental implant surgery. Most individuals report that dental implants involve less discomfort than a dental extraction. After the procedure, discomfort or soreness can be treated with pain medications.

Are You a Candidate for Implants?

In most cases, anyone who is healthy enough to undergo oral surgery or a dental extraction can be considered for dental implants. Patients should have healthy gums and enough bone to hold the dental implant. Individuals suffering from uncontrolled chronic disorders and heavy smokers need to be evaluated on an individual basis.

How Successful Are Dental Implants?

In general, dental implants have a success rate of about 98 percent, according to WebMD. The success rate of implants varies, depending on where in the jaw they are placed. While your new dental implants may need adjustments from time to time, they can last a lifetime when properly cared for.

How Do I Care for Dental Implants?

Good dental hygiene must take place after placement of dental implants to ensure the health of the implants. Your new dental implants will require the same care as your real teeth, including brushing and flossing, regular dental check-ups and cleanings, and rinsing with mouthwash.
