What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is an artificial root that is inserted into your jawbone to replace the natural root of your tooth. The implants act as an anchor to hold artificial teeth. Tooth loss is one of the most common reasons for needing dental implants. They are often considered a potential alternative to complete and partial dentures.
At Grand West Dental, we work with a partner clinic, Garcia Dental, to provide implant procedures for our patients. When you visit us, we’ll help you determine whether implants are the right choice for your needs and refer you to oral care professionals we trust.
Who Are Dental Implants For?
There are many reasons why someone may end up needing or wanting dental implants, including an injury or complications from another oral health condition that lead to missing teeth.
Missing teeth can cause several issues, and some of the reasons you may want to consider an implant include:
- Discomfort from missing teeth
- Potential bone loss in your jaw where teeth are missing
- Discomfort or difficulty with dentures
- Difficulty chewing or speaking with missing teeth
- Changes in the position of teeth near a gap
Dental Implants & Related Treatments
Dental implants can go beyond replacing a single tooth. They can also support solutions for replacing multiple teeth, such as bridges and dentures.
For example, if your teeth aren’t strong enough to support a bridge or you have multiple missing teeth in a row, a dental implant may be used to support the bridge. Implant-supported dentures may also be used in place of traditional dentures to offer more stability for speaking and chewing.
Who Completes Dental Implant Procedures?
Dental implants can be a complex procedure and require high levels of care, expertise, and attention to detail.
At Grand West Dental, our priority has always been providing quality care to each and every patient who walks through our doors. For this reason, we refer all patients requiring dental implants to Garcia Dental, a partner clinic we trust to meet our patients’ needs for dental implant procedures.
