Dental Implant FAQs

1. What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

2. Why should I choose dental implants over other tooth replacement options?

Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional dentures and bridges, including:

  • Stability and Function: Implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

  • Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.

  • Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

3. Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most people who are missing teeth and in good general health are candidates for dental implants. Factors considered include:

  • Gum Health: Healthy gums are essential for implant success.

  • Bone Density: Adequate bone density is necessary to support the implant. If you lack sufficient bone, bone grafting may be an option.

  • Overall Health: Conditions such as diabetes, smoking, and certain medications can affect implant success. A thorough evaluation by Dr. David Azizyan will determine if implants are right for you.

4. What is the process for getting dental implants?

The dental implant process typically involves several steps:

  • Consultation and Planning: An initial consultation with Dr. David Azizyan to discuss your goals and assess your oral health.

  • Implant Placement: The implants are surgically placed into the jawbone.

  • Healing and Integration: Over a few months, the implants integrate with the jawbone.

  • Restoration: Custom prosthetic teeth are attached to the implants, completing your smile.

5. How long does the dental implant process take?

The entire process can take several months from start to finish, including consultation, implant placement, healing, and restoration. The exact timeline varies depending on individual cases and treatment plans.

6. Are dental implants painful?

Most patients report that the implant procedure causes minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia and sedation options are available to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Dr. David Azizyan and his team prioritize your comfort and use advanced techniques to minimize any pain.

7. How do I care for my dental implants?

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth:

  • Brush and floss daily.

  • Regular dental check-ups and cleanings.

  • Avoid habits that can damage teeth, such as chewing ice or hard objects.
