Dental implants are a game-changer in restorative dentistry, offering a long-term solution for missing teeth. At Roland Markarian, DMD, we utilize advanced techniques and materials to provide our patients with dental implants that feel and function like natural teeth. Discover how implants can enhance your quality of life and transform your smile.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer several benefits over traditional tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges:
- Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, unlike other restorations that may need to be replaced periodically.
- Bone Health: Implants stimulate and preserve natural bone growth, which helps maintain the structure of your face and jaw.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike a dental bridge, implants do not require altering other teeth, which helps maintain more of your natural teeth intact.
The Dental Implant Process at Roland Markarian, DMD
We ensure that each step of the implant process is conducted with the utmost precision and care:
- Initial Consultation: We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if you are a good candidate for implants.
- Implant Placement: A titanium post, acting as the tooth root, is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Healing and Osseointegration: The implant integrates with the bone over several months, providing a strong foundation for the artificial tooth.
- Abutment and Crown Placement: Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant, and then a custom-made crown is attached, completing the restoration.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Caring for implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth, involving regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Here are some tips to ensure the longevity of your dental implants:
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and use an antibacterial mouthwash to prevent infections.
- Avoid Hard Foods: While implants are very durable, avoiding hard and sticky foods can help prevent damage.
- Regular Dental Visits: Routine visits to Roland Markarian, DMD are essential to monitor the health of your implants and overall oral health.
