Dental Implants Complete Silver Spring, MD Smiles at King Dental General Dentistry

If you have missing or extracted teeth, your mouth is at risk for a number of issues. Bone loss, bite misalignment, infection, compromise of your healthy teeth and other serious oral problems can easily occur due to a missing tooth or teeth.  Many individuals who have an incomplete smile can often suffer from a lack of confidence and difficulties while eating, drinking and speaking. At King Dental of Silver Spring, there is a solution for Maryland patients who want to restore a complete smile.  Dental implants (http://www.kingdentalllc.com/our_services/Dental_Implants.htm) the most effective, beneficial and enduring of all tooth prosthetics. The professionals at King Dental want to share more information on what dental implants are, how they work and why they’re so successful.

Dental implants offer numerous benefits over prosthetic alternatives such as bridges and partial dentures.  They do not require the modification of surrounding teeth, they can be placed anywhere in the mouth.  They require no external components or frame work. There’s no special maintenance needed to keep them clean beyond regular brushing and flossing, and in most cases, with proper care they can last a life time.  King Dental patients who choose dental implants have been thrilled with the look and feel of this prosthetic.  Not only are they indistinguishable from the rest of your smile, they’re rooted just like a real tooth.

The dental implant procedure takes about three to six months for the process to be complete. The first step in getting your new smile starts with the placement of the implant cylinder. This component is inserted into your jaw bone by making an incision in the gum. While this is a precision surgical process, local anesthetic makes the experience virtually painless, with little more than manageable gum soreness and swelling during the recovery.  Any post op discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicine and plenty of rest for a few days.

Over several months the implant will heal while the jaw bone forms around it.  This natural process is known as osseointegration, which is how implants achieve such a real feel. Over this time period, a temporary crown can be placed to maintain comfort in your day-to-day appearance and speech.  Once the implant is fully healed, an abutment will be attached to your implant. The abutment is then used to connect the implant to your replacement tooth. Upon completion, the professionals at King Dental will have given you a now complete and healthy smile that looks as great as it feels.
