What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a prosthetic or artificial tooth root that our dentists surgically place in the jawbone to hold a crown, bridge, or denture.
Implants can either be made of biocompatible titanium or biocompatible ceramic. Over time, these materials naturally fuse with the jawbone, so the implant becomes part of your anatomy. At the end of implant treatment, your prosthetic teeth will be just as secure and usable as your natural teeth.
Because of their numerous advantages, dental implants are considered modern dentistry's best solution for tooth replacement.
Implant-Supported Restorations IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE AND FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR SMILE
Dental implants can support all types of replacement teeth to restore functionality. Chew all of your favorite foods and smile confidently again with a crown, bridge, or denture supported by dental implants.
Dental Implant Benefits
Dental implants have a number of advantages over other treatments for missing teeth.
- Built to Last - Dental implants have impressive long-term success rates and are made from sturdy, biocompatible materials. While restorations eventually need to be changed, the implants themselves may never need to be replaced.
- Provide Bone Support - Jawbone atrophy is a natural consequence of tooth loss. However, dental implants help deliver regenerative signals to your bone, keeping it healthy and preventing bone loss. Implants also don't sacrifice the quality of surrounding teeth.
- Improved Stability - For patients who need dentures, dental implants allow you to fasten your restoration directly to your jawbone. No dental adhesives are needed. This reduces any slipping or clicking associated with dentures and allows you to eat and speak without reservation.
- Natural Look and Feel - With the exception of your natural teeth, nothing looks or feels more natural than a restoration supported by an implant.

Will My Dental Insurance Cover the Cost of Implants?

How Can I Become a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Candidates for dental implants are people who have enough bone tissue to support the implants, and will be able to heal properly following the surgery. If you aren't currently a candidate due to certain health issues, there may be some things you can do to improve your candidacy:
Nicotine has been proven to hinder the body's healing response by narrowing the blood vessels that provide nutrients and oxygen to injuries. Following a dental implant procedure, it's important to support your body's natural healing abilities. You'll be a better candidate for dental implants if you drop the habit well before your surgery and continue to abstain on a permanent basis.

Maintaining Dental Implants and Restorations
You may think that nothing could possibly replace your own teeth, but our restorations are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Additionally, dental implants and the restorations they support are often just as easy to care for. You typically won't have to do anything out of the ordinary to keep them clean. Fairfax Family Dental Care is here to be your partner in lifelong oral health.
Dental Implants
Once your dental implants are in place and you've healed from your placement procedure, it's fairly easy to keep them in good shape. Simply follow a good at-home oral hygiene routine and attend regular dental screenings with your dentist.
With proper care, your dental implants can last a lifetime, just like natural teeth that have been cared for properly.
Crown
Dental crowns can be treated just like your natural teeth. You can brush a dental crown twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush and toothpaste and floss around it once a day to keep your gums healthy enough to support the restoration. It is safe to use an antibacterial or fluoride mouthwash with these and other restorations.
Crowns can last for 10 to 15 years or longer when cared for properly.
Bridge
When caring for a dental bridge, you can brush it just like you brush your natural teeth. You will also need to use super floss, a floss threader, or an interdental brush to clean your gums underneath the bridge.
Your dental bridge can last for five to 15 years with proper care.
Dentures
Using non-abrasive toothpaste, brush your denture with a soft-bristle toothbrush, and floss at least once a day. Unlike traditional dentures, you don't have to remove implant-supported dentures to clean them, and they don't have to soak in water each night. Only your dentist will be able to remove your dentures to give them a thorough cleaning during regular checkups.
Implant-supported dentures can last for about 10 years.
When caring for restorations, you must also strive to keep your entire mouth healthy. This includes properly cleaning your tongue, cheeks, and the roof of your mouth. Additionally, it's important to schedule regular checkups with your dentist so they can make sure you're caring for your restoration properly.
What About Traditional Bridges and Dentures? On Common Alternatives to Dental Implants
You may be thinking, "Can't regular dentures or a dental bridge replace my missing teeth?"
It's true that traditional dentures and dental bridges are a lower-cost, quicker way to replace missing teeth. However, dentists recommend dental implants for a reason. Dental implants offer many benefits over dental bridges and dentures, including:
- Neither traditional bridges nor dentures prevent bone loss, which can impact the health of your jawbone and any remaining natural teeth.
- Dental bridges require altering the teeth surrounding the missing tooth. Dental implants do not alter healthy surrounding teeth.
- Dentures can come loose even if you have creams or adhesives in place. Dental implants keep restorations fully anchored.
