About Dental Implants

If you’ve been struggling with missing teeth, you know how it can affect your self-confidence and overall quality of life. Thankfully, dental implants offer a reliable and long-lasting solution. At Shifa Dental, we are committed to helping you achieve the perfect smile you deserve.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants provide numerous advantages over traditional dentures or bridges. They are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, offering a permanent solution to restore your smile. With dental implants, you can enjoy improved chewing ability, enhanced speech, and increased confidence.

Furthermore, dental implants help preserve your facial structure by preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth. They also eliminate the inconvenience of removable dentures, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with ease.

Ideal Candidates for Dental Implants

Dental implants are suitable for individuals who have lost one or multiple teeth, or even those who need full arch restoration. Good candidates for dental implants should have healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implant.

If you have underlying medical conditions or smoke heavily, our dental professionals at Shifa Dental will evaluate your specific situation to determine if dental implants are the best solution for you.

FAQs

1Are dental implants painful?

Dental implant surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. Some discomfort and swelling may occur post-surgery, but it can be managed with pain medication.

2How long do dental implants last?

With proper care and regular dental visits, dental implants can last a lifetime.

3Can dental implants be covered by insurance?

Coverage for dental implants varies depending on your insurance provider and policy. Our team at Shifa Dental will work closely with you to explore your insurance options.

4Is the dental Implant procedure painful?

The process of dental implants has progressed so quickly since its inception that it is now a very predictable and painless treatment. The dental implant operation is done with such care and precision that you will feel as little pain as possible. You can expect minimal swelling and nearly no blood if you follow the instructions carefully.

5Will my Implant match my existing natural teeth?

Yes! Your dental implant may be topped with a crown, bridge, or implant-supported dentures, all of which will be custom-made to ensure your comfort. That means your custom-made teeth will be shaped and colored to match the form and color of your natural teeth and bite. Patients frequently have difficulty distinguishing between their natural teeth and their attractive new dental implants.

6How often will I need to have a checkup after a dental Implant?

How carefully you care for your implants will determine how successful they are. They, like your natural teeth, need to be professionally cleaned and checked on a regular basis. We normally recommend a check-up every 6 months, but based on your unique needs, we may prescribe check-ups more or less frequently.

7Do dental implants have to be replaced periodically ?

Implants do not need to be replaced on a regular basis. Once you have a dental implant, it is intended to be with you for a longer period of time.

8Is it better to get denture or Implant?

Dentures and implants are not interchangeable, and they serve very different purposes. Dentures sit on top of your gums and press against the bone tissue beneath. Because implants are secured well below the gum line, they help to strengthen your bite. Both tooth replacement options have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. To determine which treatment is best for you, we urge that you consult our expert dentist.

9When can I return to work after dental implant surgery ?

You can usually go back to work the next day after your implant procedure. We can offer you a far more accurate time estimate and let you know ahead of time if you should clear your schedule for longer once we know exactly what your treatment will entail.

    It was my first time here and it was a great experience. I have sensitive teeth so they would check in to make sure the cleaning was feeling okay. The staff was very personable and I did not have to wait long. I would highly recommend!
