What are dental implants?

Dental implants are a natural-looking solution for missing teeth. They are the modern-day treatment of choice for tooth replacement. Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, and they serve as anchors for the attachment of replacement teeth, crowns, and partial or full dentures. Unlike dentures, there is no problem with slippage, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Overall, most people find that dental implants are comfortable, convenient, and improve the function and appearance of their teeth.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Dental implants may be an option if you are replacing a tooth or receiving a crown, partial dentures, or full dentures. Dental implants are not for everyone. Candidates for dental implants need to have healthy gums and bones to support the implant.

Drs. Kurt and Jonathan Faber will evaluate if you are a candidate for dental implants by examining your teeth, gums, and jawbone. Your dentist will check for signs of gum disease and decay. X-rays and CT scans will be taken to determine the health of your teeth, gums, and the availability of bone.

What can I expect during my dental implant visit?

At Faber Dental Arts in Shorewood, Illinois, Dr. Kurt Faber and Dr. Jonathan Faber will help you through your dental implant process. Dental implant procedures require a series of appointments, usually the entire process lasts 3 to 9 months. Dental implant surgery can take place in a dental office or a hospital as an outpatient procedure. You will receive a local pain reliever or be sedated for the surgery.

Surgery is required to place the dental implant in the jawbone. In some cases, a series of implants are joined together by a support bar. The bar provides security and stability for a full denture. After surgery, you will receive pain medication and antibiotics. You will initially need to eat a soft diet and refrain from strenuous activities.

It may take up to six months for your bone to fuse with the implant. After healing has taken place, Dr. Kurt Faber and Dr. Jonathan Faber will attach your crown or denture to the dental implant. This process may require several adjustments to achieve a good fit.

Your dental implants can last a lifetime with good oral health care. Dr. Kurt Faber and Dr. Jonathan Faber will monitor your progress and design a maintenance program specifically for you.
