Are you looking for a dental clinic that provides dental implants to replace missing teeth or a broken tooth? Do you need a long-lasting solution to tooth loss in one or more teeth? Kherani Dental at Aspen has an excellent solution to give you back the confidence to have a perfect smile once more: dental implants.

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth used when you have one or more missing teeth and either can’t have or don’t want dentures or other options. A dental implant works the same as a natural tooth, allowing for proper chewing and talking, and can resolve other problems caused by missing teeth. The implant can also restore confidence and a healthy smile.

A Dental Implant Consists of the Following:

  • A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as an anchor.

  • A replacement crown, typically ceramic or acrylic, is affixed to the post when replacing a single tooth.

  • A bridge or new set of teeth to replace multiple teeth.

Dental implant procedures take one or more sessions, depending on the number of teeth missing and their location. We will take a 3D radiograph to allow for proper planning of the procedure.

Your recovery can be affected by the type of material used for the implant, but also by your overall oral health. The implant itself allows for it to integrate into the jawbone, acting as a new root, but implant therapy may require several months to heal completely.

Once we have your post in place, we will attach the new artificial tooth or teeth. During the healing process, this may be a temporary new tooth or dental implant crowns. Once the healing is completed, it will be replaced by the permanent tooth. During this time, you can expect some swelling, tenderness, bruising, and bleeding, which is entirely normal.

How Many Dental Implants Can I Get at Once?

Depending on the patient, only a few dental implants are needed, even if you’re replacing all of your teeth. Three teeth can be anchored by one dental implant, so it’s not necessary, or even practical, for a dental implant dentist to use different implants for each tooth. Most patients request the whole surgery be done in one session, but others prefer to split it into two separate procedures.
