Dental Implants - Anchorage, AK

Dental Implants At South Anchorage Dental Center

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These posts provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, offering a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing solution for tooth loss.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

The dental implant process involves several stages:

1. Consultation and Planning: Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss treatment options, and create a personalized plan.
2. Implant Placement: Dental implant posts are surgically placed into the jawbone and fused over time through osseointegration, providing a stable foundation.
3. Abutment Placement: After integrating implants with the jawbone, abutments will be placed on top to connect the implants and the replacement teeth.
4. Restoration: After the dental implant, replacement teeth will be attached securely to the abutments. These teeth will match your natural teeth for a seamless and natural-looking smile.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous benefits, including:

• Improved Functionality: Providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Unlike dentures, implants eliminate worry and enhance your lifestyle.
• Improved Aesthetics: Dental implants blend naturally with your teeth, creating a beautiful smile. They also prevent bone loss and facial sagging caused by missing teeth.
• Long-Term Solution: Dental implants provide a long-lasting solution for tooth loss with proper maintenance.
• Preservation of Oral Health: Unlike traditional tooth-supported bridges, dental implants eliminate the need to alter or support adjacent teeth, preserving natural teeth and promoting oral health. 
• Boosted Confidence: Dental implants give you a healthy and confident smile that lasts, improving your quality of life and comfort in social and professional settings.
