What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are long-lasting, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth that are surgically placed into the jawbone to function like artificial tooth roots. At Southeastern Oral Surgery and Dental Implants, dental implants are used to restore both the appearance and function of a patient's smile. Once placed, implants provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, helping to improve chewing, speaking, and overall oral health. They also help preserve jawbone structure, making them a strong, permanent solution for tooth loss. To learn more about dental implants or to find out if you're a candidate, contact Southeastern Oral Surgery to schedule a consultation.
How Are Dental Implants Placed?
Dental implants are placed through a multi-step surgical process that begins with a thorough evaluation and treatment planning. During the procedure, a small incision is made in the gum to expose the jawbone, and a titanium implant post is carefully inserted into the bone to act as a replacement tooth root.
Over the next few months, the implant undergoes osseointegration, a process in which it fuses with the surrounding bone to create a strong, stable foundation. Once healing is complete, a support is attached to the implant, followed by a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture that restores the natural look and function of the missing tooth.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are commonly selected due to the significant extent of outstanding benefits they provide. Other benefits include:
- Function similar to real teeth in performance and visual appeal
- Act as a durable tooth restoration solution
- Can improve your confidence when talking and when you show your teeth
- Allow for increased chewing force and durability of crowns, bridges, or dentures
- Fuse with the jawbone to preserve jawbone well-being and structure
- Will not rely on nearby teeth to stay in place
- Make way for the adaptation of a varied diet
Dental Implants Reviews
Dr.Bess at Southeastern Oral Surgery & Dental Implants of Dothan has once again been absolutely amazing! He did me and my brother’s wisdom teeth removal as teens (brother had rare condition, Hyperdontia, so many wisdom teeth had to go) and he once again worked on me yesterday for a removal. Hands down, the ONLY practice and their BEST oral surgeon in Dothan! No trouble with getting anesthesia or PROPER post-op medication for basic things. Even accepts most dental insurances! Only ever recommend this place and this Dr.
Very professional place to go...had a extraction. Did not hurt me. Going back for implants and facial work. Recommend to anyone who likes to be treated kindly and respectfully.
