Dental Implants at Cosmetic Dental
Center of Fort Lauderdale
Dental implant is an artificial tooth root that a trained
specialist places into your jaw to hold a replacement
tooth or bridge. Dental implants are so natural looking
and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth. You
know that your confidence about your teeth affects how
you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally.
Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel
just like your own! Under proper conditions, such
as placement by a trained specialist and diligent
patient maintenance, implants can last a lifetime.
Long-term studies continue to show improving success
rates for implants.
 What
Dental Implants Can Do?
*Replace one or more teeth without affecting neighboring
teeth.
*Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable
partial denture.
*Provide support for a denture, making it more secure
and comfortable.
How will I benefit from dental implants?
The benefits of implant treatment include appearance,
the enhanced ability to chew and enjoy your food,
and offer protection of your remaining teeth and jawbone.
Dental implants offer many benefits never before available
for the treatment of missing teeth. In short, dental
implants will look, feel and function like your real
teeth.
What Is Treatment Like?
Most patients report there is very little discomfort
and they were much more comfortable following the
procedure than anticipated. Implants are placed in
a very gentle fashion and care is given to the various
tissues involved. Anesthesia and patient sedation
are used to eliminate any discomfort at the time of
the procedure.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
As you know, your own teeth require conscientious
at-home oral care and regular dental visits. Dental
implants are like your own teeth and will require
the same care. In order to keep your implant clean
and plaque-free, brushing and flossing still apply!
How long will the treatment take?
Treatment time will vary depending on your unique
situation. Nowadays it is often possible to get well
functioning and esthetic looking teeth immediately
after receiving dental implants. In some cases it
may be necessary to wait a longer time period
before finishing the restoration in order to obtain
an optimal result.
