Implant Dentist in Las Vegas, NV

Dental implants are synthetic tooth replacements that take the place of the natural tooth and its roots. Dental implants mimic the look and feel of a natural tooth, while also helping patients to keep a consistent and structured bite. It also lends itself to maintaining a normal chew and preventing lapses in speech that a missing tooth can cause. 

You might require a dental implant if you have lost a tooth (or teeth) as a result of cavities, a tooth root fracture, clenching or grinding of your teeth, gum disease, congenital issues, or a facial trauma/injury. 

Implants are either made of titanium or ceramic, both of which are biocompatible with the tissue inside the mouth. A surgeon will place the dental implant into your jaw and then, once the implant heals, a crown will be placed over the top of it to secure the implant further. 

Dental implants can last a lifetime if looked after properly, making them the longest-lasting teeth replacement option available. However, the restoration that accompanies your implant (such as a crown) will likely need to be replaced at the home point – usually around the 15-year mark.  

If you’re actively looking for a tooth replacement option that will stand the test of time, dental implants are definitely worth the investment. 

Dental implants are a permanent replacement for lost teeth, which makes them a cost-effective and time-effective option for many. Implants are also a good investment for those that want to avoid time and resource-consuming future dental problems that can come from having an absent tooth. 

There is a myriad of benefits to dental implants which is why your dental specialist may recommend it if you’re missing a tooth. These benefits include: 

• Improved speech 
• Improved chewing ability
• Enhancing the appearance of your smile.
• Securing permanent or removable bridges.
• Securing permanent or removable dentures.
• No damage to surrounding teeth. 
• Keeps teeth in the surrounding area from shifting out of position. 
• Reducing the potential for cavities (as implants can’t get cavities). 
• Their permanency, as they’re good for a lifetime. 

Dental implants can be very beneficial to those needing a replacement for their natural tooth. However, implants still need to be tended to by following healthy and consistent oral hygiene practices. 

Dental implants must be surgically implanted and, just like with any kind of surgery, this comes with the potential for complications to arise. This includes the possibility of infection, sinus damage, nerve damage, and allergic reactions to both the implant (which is rare) and the anesthetic you receive.  

However, it’s important to keep in mind that the likelihood of complications is minimal when you’re procedure is being carried out by an experienced surgeon. If you’re considering getting a dental implant, it’s always recommended that you do your research and find a licensed provider that you can trust. 

Patients should also know that certain factors can affect their candidacy for dental implants. You may not be a suitable candidate for dental implants if you: 

• Are under the age of 18.
• Have a bone disorder.
• Have an autoimmune disease.
• Have gum disease.
• Have poor oral hygiene.
• Have substantial bone loss in your jaw.
• Have widespread tooth decay.
• Smoke or use tobacco products.

Your unique health history and personal goals will always be weighed by your orthodontist to ensure an implant is a safe and effective treatment option for you.
