Gone are the days of your grandmother’s dentures. The options now available to those who have lost teeth, for whatever reason, are modern, convenient, and workable for people with busy, active lives. At Endeavor Dental Group, we take great care to stay up on the latest technology, so we can always offer the best variety of options to our patients here in our Pocatello, ID, office.
Dental Implants are a Permanent Solution
For those who want a permanent and comfortable solution for fixing their broken smile, dental implants may be the perfect choice. Reach out to our experienced team to learn more about this option. It is a major, multi-step dental procedure, but the rewards can be significant. They include:
- Longevity—If you care for them properly, they will most likely last a lifetime.
- Choices—You get to choose if your new teeth will be fixed in place or removable.
- Convenience—You don’t have to take them out to clean them.
- Confidence—They won’t move around or become loose while talking or eating.
- Independence—They aren’t attached to your existing teeth, which is better for their health in the long run.
How Does it Work?
Our team will take what looks like a very small, metal screw and implant it directly into your jaw where your tooth or teeth are missing. These screws will serve as artificial roots, anchoring your new teeth in your mouth. Just as it sounds, this is a major dental procedure that requires a commitment of both time and effort. Depending on your particular case, the implant process could take several stages over a series of months. The best way to find out what the process will look like for you is by calling a member of our experienced team.
What is Bone Grafting?
After your damaged tooth is removed, your jaw will need to be prepped, which could require bone grafting. This is where we will take bone from another part of your body and put it in your mouth to form a solid foundation for the implant. The bone graft will typically regenerate and restore your facial appearance.
Whether your particular case calls for a single tooth implant, multiple implants, or an entire set of implant-supported dentures, what is most important is that you trust your dental provider. Reach out to us at our Pocatello, ID, office today to arrange for a one-on-one consultation.
