Transform your smile with quality dental implants in Wheaton. Dental implants are widely used to replace individual missing teeth. You can get single implants or implants for a few teeth in a row. The implant will use screws or posts to secure a durable crown that can handle all the foods you love. The posts or screws can be used to fill the space previously filled by the root. Multiple crowns may use two posts and a bridge in some cases. Some people cannot have posts attached to the jawbone. The dentist may secure the crown to the cheekbone or use an attachment that sits under the gums. The metal posts do not attach to the jawbone with this type of implant.
Implants can cause swelling and bruising that should disappear within three days. Most patients feel only mild discomfort thanks to reliable painkillers. People typically return to normal activities the day after surgery. It is important to avoid chewy and crunchy foods for three days. Patients will need regular checkups every six months as long as they have the implant. Most implants last 10 to 30 years. Implants usually require two appointments. The posts must be inserted and healed before adding the crown. Your dentist can tell you more about how long the procedure will take in each unique case.
Visit a dentist you are comfortable with who can meet your needs. Some dentists use the most modern practices and technology. Certain clinics focus on care for all age groups and may offer advanced anesthetics.
