What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root, at Gibberman Dental we use Biomet3i dental implants, you can view some of their frequently asked questions here. Dental Implants are anchored to your jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures.

Not everyone in Alexandria is a candidate for a dental implant, however. For a successful implant to take hold, a candidate must have proper bone density and have a strong immune system. In all cases, dental implants require strict oral hygiene.

Dental Implants are so well designed that they mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Implants are usually made of a synthetic yet biocompatible material like metal or ceramic.

The Dental Implant Procedure

Surgery is necessary to prepare the area for an implant and place the implant in the mouth. Following the procedure, a period of time is required for the implant to take hold and for bone tissue to build up and anchor the device. In some cases, metal posts are inserted into the implant during a follow-up procedure to connect the tooth.

Because dental implants require surgery, our Alexandria patients are administered anesthesia and, if necessary, antibiotics to stave off infection following the procedure.

Are Dental Implants right for me?

Like any restoration, dental implants require diligent oral hygiene and proper care to ensure they last a long time.For more information on implant dentistry, or to determine if you're a candidate for dental implants make an appointment by calling (703) 823-6616 today and scheduling an appointment in our Alexandria, VA office!
