Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium. Dr. Gazu places dental implants in your jaw to support artificial teeth. You might choose dental implants if you have missing permanent teeth or severely decaying teeth that require extraction.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Choosing dental implants with Marvel Dental can offer you numerous benefits, including:

• A full set of natural-looking teeth
• Fewer adjacent teeth shifting
• Clearer speech
• Easier chewing
• More self-confidence
• An aesthetically pleasing smile
• Improved facial contours
• Better facial symmetry

Dental implants are sturdy, long-lasting, and support artificial teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.

Are dental implants right for me?

To find out if you’re a good candidate for dental implants, Dr. Gazu and her team review your oral health history. They examine your teeth and gums and take dental X-rays. You might first require a bone graft if you don’t have a strong enough jaw bone to support dental implants.

What should I expect during a dental implant placement?

The process of getting dental implants involves numerous steps. During your first appointment, Dr. Gazu numbs the treatment area and surgically places implants into your jaw bone, where they remain permanently.

After a healing period, she and her team can take molds or digitally scan your mouth to develop new, custom-fit teeth. When they’re ready, you can return to Marvel Dental, where Dr. Gazu securely bonds crowns, bridges, or dentures to the implants to restore your smile.

How should I care for my dental implants?

Take good care of your new implants to reduce the risk of damage. Brush your teeth at least two times a day, avoid chewing on hard objects, and floss every day. Wear a mouthguard at night if you grind your teeth. See the experts at Marvel Dental every six months for dental cleanings and exams, and call the office if your dental implants get damaged or feel uncomfortable.
