Dental implants are an excellent way to restore one or more missing teeth. With the longest lifespan of any tooth-replacement, a completely natural appearance, and easy maintenance, dental implants allow you to restore your smile and your bite permanently.

Single-tooth dental implants are the most common type of dental implant. This treatment consists of two components: the post and the crown.
The post, or the implant, is surgically placed into your gums and jaw. It's a small, metal rod that's shaped like a screw and is made of titanium. Titanium has the unique ability to permanently bond with the jaw bone, making it an ideal substitute for your tooth root.
Once your jaw is given time to heal, your next procedure will be implant restoration. In the case of a single-tooth implant, one dental implant is used to hold a single dental crown in place. Together, the implant and the crown mimic the root and the tooth, ensuring a long-lasting, natural-looking result.
Dental implants are the longest-lasting method of tooth replacement, with a 30+ year expected lifespan. Not only that, but single-tooth dental implants also look and feel completely natural, and can be treated just like natural teeth. All you have to do to take care of your smile is brush and floss normally.
In addition to this, dental implants actually help stimulate your jaw bone and prevent bone resorption, which is a common problem caused by losing a tooth.
Dental implant restorations are the prosthetics used along with dental implants to restore your smile. As mentioned, single-tooth dental implants use one dental implant and one dental crown to restore a single missing tooth.
However, other implant restorations like dental bridges and dentures can be used alongside implants to restore multiple missing teeth. Whether you're missing one, several, or all of your teeth, we're here to help restore your smile.
Dental implant maintenance is quite easy for single-tooth implants. You can simply brush and floss normally to keep your implant in great shape. Brush twice a day and floss once per day for the best results.
In addition, you should schedule a consultation and teeth cleaning every six months. At this time, your dentist can check on your teeth and implants, and ensure your mouth is completely healthy.
With more than three decades of clinical experience and over a million patients treated, statistics confirm a success rate of nearly 95 percent for individual DIO dental implants, and even higher for the bridges they support.

With any surgery, there can be some discomfort. Implant surgery is like any oral surgery and typically heals within a few days. Most patients report that they were much more comfortable following the procedure than they had anticipated. Your doctor will prescribe medications to ease any discomfort that may occur. Ask your specialist to recommend another patient who has already had tooth replacement therapy to assess their personal experience.
The best way to find out if dental implants are right for you is by scheduling a consultation. Your dentist can evaluate your smile, ensuring that your mouth is free of any chronic oral health issues and that your jaw bone is strong enough to support one or more dental implants. Options such as bone grafting can be used to prepare your jaw if extra support is needed. If implants are the right choice for you, treatment planning can begin.
Dental implant-supported replacement teeth look, feel and function like natural teeth. This means that you can eat and drink whatever you choose. But most importantly, dental implants often improve quality of life in a very concrete way. People who have felt embarrassed and worried because of their tooth problems are often overwhelmed by what new permanent teeth can do for their self-esteem.
Occasionally, older patients express concern that their age may prevent them from enjoying the benefits of dental implants. However, health is more of a determining factor than age. If you're healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you're probably healthy enough to receive dental implants. Certain chronic diseases may contraindicate dental implant treatment. Your specialist will determine if you are a candidate for dental implants after a careful evaluation of your dental and health history.
