To learn whether you’re a good candidate for dental implants in Wilmington, DE, we have you come into our office for an evaluation with the dentist. The assessment includes a checkup to determine jawbone dentistry, sinus placement, and it’s designed to answer your questions.
Some patients are immediate candidates for dental implants. Others require pretreatments, such as bone grafting. If pretreatments will not bring you into candidacy, the dentist will explain why and recommend alternative treatments, such as a dental bridge.
How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants replace lost tooth roots by integrating into the jawbone after placement. It can take a few months for integration, but it’s worth the wait!
After integration, your dentist caps your implants with custom dental crowns or a custom prosthetic, such as an implant denture or bridge.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are unlike other tooth replacement options because they can last for decades and even a lifetime with proper maintenance, which includes:
- Regular Dental Checkups
- Regular Brushing and Flossing
Other benefits include jawbone support and nourishment, as well as a restored bite force.
