Benefits Of Dental Implants

Natural Appearance & Comfortable Fit

Dental implants are meticulously designed to resemble your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile. They are anchored securely to your jawbone, providing a comfortable and stable fit that enhances your facial aesthetics.

Improved Speech & Ease Of Eating

Dental implants stay firmly in place, unlike conventional dentures, which can slip and cause speech difficulties. This stability allows for clear speech and easy eating without worrying about your prosthetic teeth shifting or causing discomfort.

Durability & Longevity

With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth. Their robust construction from high-grade materials like titanium ensures they can withstand daily use, making them a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Preservation Of Jawbone Integrity

Dental implants helps preserve the integrity of your jawbone by preventing the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth. Dental implants are crucial in safeguarding your long-term oral health by providing the stimulation your jawbone needs to maintain its density.

Boosted Self-Esteem And Confidence

Restoring your smile through dental implants transcends aesthetic appeal and significantly increases your self-esteem and confidence. With a renewed smile, you’ll likely enjoy social interactions and smile more often.

Embark on a transformative journey with dental implants in Anchorage and discover their remarkable benefits to oral health and life. Dr. Richard Crosby and his exceptional dental team are committed to providing personalized dental implant solutions to restore the function, beauty, and confidence your smile brings.

Why Patient Choose Us

The Dental Implant Procedure

Your path to a restored smile begins with an initial consultation at our Anchorage clinic. Dr. Richard Crosby and his dedicated team will conduct a thorough examination to ensure the suitability based on your oral health status.

  1. Consultation and Examination
    The journey begins with a comprehensive consultation during which Dr. Crosby will review your dental history, assess the health of your jawbone, and discuss your expectations and any concerns you may have regarding the procedure.
  2. CT Scan Analysis
    Utilizing cutting-edge technology, a CT scan will be performed to evaluate the density and health of your jawbone, ensuring it can securely anchor the implants.
  3. Implant Placement
    On the day of the procedure, small titanium posts (the implants) are precisely placed into your jawbone, acting as substitutes for the roots of your missing teeth.
  4. Healing Period
    A healing period follows, during which the implants fuse with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, forming a sturdy base for your new teeth.
  5. Abutment Attachment and Prosthetic Placement
    Abutments are attached to the implants once healing is complete. These connect the implants and your new prosthetic teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, thereby completing your smile restoration journey.

Mini Implants

Mini implants present an appealing alternative for those with inadequate bone density or those seeking a less invasive solution. Mini implants follow a similar procedure to standard dental implants but are smaller and require less bone structure for placement.

  • Less Invasive Procedure: Due to their smaller size, mini implants require a smaller incision and less bone structure, making the procedure less invasive and often faster than traditional implants.
  • Shorter Healing Time: The reduced size and invasiveness typically result in a shorter healing period, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your restored smile sooner.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Mini implants can be a more cost-effective solution, balancing the cost and the benefits of implant-supported restorations.
  • Ideal for Narrow Spaces: Mini implants are especially suited for narrow spaces or areas with limited bone density, providing a secure anchor for dental prosthetics in such challenging conditions.
  • Temporary or Permanent Solution: While mini implants can serve as a permanent tooth replacement solution, they are also an excellent choice for those seeking a temporary fix or not candidates for standard dental implants due to insufficient bone density.

Dr. Crosby and his team are adept in providing standard and mini dental implant solutions, ensuring that a suitable and lasting solution can restore your smile and oral health regardless of circumstances.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implant-retained dentures combine the benefits of traditional dentures and dental implants, providing a stable yet removable tooth replacement solution.

  • Secure Attachment: Unlike traditional dentures, implant-retained dentures are anchored to your jawbone using dental implants, ensuring a secure fit that prevents shifting and slipping.
  • Ease of Cleaning: Removable, these dentures can be removed for thorough cleaning, promoting better oral hygiene.
  • Natural Function and Appearance: Implant-retained dentures restore a natural look and function, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
  • Procedure: The procedure involves placing a few implants into your jawbone, onto which the dentures are securely snapped, providing a stable foundation while allowing easy removal.

Hybrid Implants

Hybrid implants offer a cost-effective and quicker solution for those looking to replace a full arch of teeth.

  • Fewer Implants, Full Restoration: With just four implants, a full arch of teeth can be securely attached, reducing the cost and recovery time associated with traditional implant procedures.
  • Fixed Solution: Hybrid implants are a fixed solution, offering a blend of the stability of implants and the extensive coverage of dentures.
  • Shorter Recovery Time: Due to the reduced number of implants required, the recovery time is typically shorter, allowing for quicker restoration of full dental function.

Dental Implant FAQs

Your queries about dental implants are essential to us. Here are some common questions:

Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth that should last the rest of your life when well cared for and with proper in-office maintenance. You may need a replacement crown or bridge, but the implants will last decades.

While placing implants in your jaw may sound daunting, the procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, which numbs the area thoroughly to ensure you feel no pain. Post-procedure discomfort can usually be managed effectively with over-the-counter pain medications and tends to subside within a few days.

The cost can vary significantly based on several factors, including the number of implants required, the type of prosthetic teeth chosen, and the need for additional procedures such as bone grafts. It’s best to have a personalized consultation to understand the full scope and cost of the treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Ideal candidates are good overall health, healthy gums, and sufficient bone density in the jaw to support the implants. However, advancements in dental technology have made it possible for individuals with varying bone densities to receive dental implants successfully. A comprehensive evaluation by Dr. Crosby and his team will determine your suitability.

We invite you to contact our clinic for detailed answers to these and any other questions you may have.
