What are dental implants?

Dental implants are metal posts inserted into your jawbone. They anchor bridges, dentures, or crowns to fill in gaps left by missing permanent teeth. 

About 6% of people in the United States have dental implants. They’re strong, durable, and long-lasting, restoring smiles to gain function and confidence. Drs. Boyd P.C. offers implant planning and innovative 3D computer-guided placement.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

The benefits of receiving dental implants at Drs. Boyd P.C. include:

• Full set of natural-looking teeth
• Easier chewing
• Increased self-confidence
• Clearer speech
• Less adjacent tooth shifting
• Strong, durable, long-lasting results
• Beautiful smiles

Dental implants and the teeth they anchor look and function like natural teeth. They offer the gorgeous smile you desire and deserve.

Are dental implants right for me?

The Drs. Boyd P.C. team examines your mouth, discusses your oral health history, and reviews your cosmetic dentistry goals. They also complete digital X-rays to determine which restorative dental solution is right for you. Dental implants can replace one, multiple, or all of your natural teeth. 

All-on-4® dental implants replace all your teeth using four implants inserted into the top arch and four into the bottom arch. 

Similarly, All-on-6® implants replace all natural teeth using six implants on the top arch and six on the bottom.

What should I expect during dental implant placement?

Depending on your dental history and the condition of your natural teeth and jawbone, you may first need tooth extraction and/or bone grafting procedures before dental implant placement.

During the procedure, you can receive a sedative to help you relax. Your dentist numbs the treatment area to eliminate discomfort and inserts one or more implants into your jawbone. They use 3D computer-guided technology to ensure optimal precision and accuracy. 

After a period of healing, your dentist creates custom-fitted crowns, bridges, or dentures that attach to the implants and beautifully transform your smile.

How can I take good care of my dental implants?

Caring for dental implants involves good oral hygiene and routine dental visits for cleanings and exams. Eat nutritious foods, avoid chewing on hard objects, floss daily, and brush your teeth after meals. Call the Drs. Boyd P.C. office right away if your implants become damaged.
