Implants and Restoring Implants
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a replacement for a missing tooth root. Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, it provides a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants are designed to function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
The implant process involves two main stages: the placement of the implant itself and the restoration of the implant with a prosthetic tooth or teeth. At Cloverpark Dental, we handle both stages, from the surgical placement to the final restoration, ensuring you receive comprehensive care throughout the entire process.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options, such as bridges or dentures. Some of the key benefits include:
Natural look and feel
Implants are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth. They are custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless smile.
Durability
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium post integrates with the jawbone, providing a strong and durable foundation for the prosthetic tooth.
Improved function
Implants restore your ability to chew and speak properly, allowing you to eat all of your favorite foods without worry.
Preservation of bone
A darkened or discolored tooth can be a sign that the nerve inside has been damaged.
No impact on adjacent teeth
Unlike bridges, which rely on neighboring teeth for support, implants are self-sufficient and do not require the alteration of healthy teeth.
Enhanced comfort and stability
Implants are securely anchored in the jaw, meaning they won’t slip or shift like dentures. This stability provides greater comfort and confidence when speaking or eating.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
1. Is the implant procedure painful?
No, the implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur afterward, but this can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
2. How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The implant itself is designed to be permanent, while the prosthetic crown may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear.
3. Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most patients with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are candidates for dental implants. However, if you’ve experienced significant bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary to support the implant.
