M<\/span>illions of people are affected by tooth loss and require a dental restoration. In the past, the most popular solution was a bridge or denture<\/a>. For many people, traditional removable dentures can be bothersome. They sit on top of the gums and are held in place with either suction or denture adhesive, therefore, they feel unnatural. Now, many patients are opting for dental implants, as they restore functionality through the entire tooth structure down to the root.<\/p>\n

At AZ Dental Wellness<\/a>, our team is experienced in the placement of dental implants. If you are missing teeth, call us today at (480) 747-1352<\/a> to find out if they are right for you.<\/p>\n

What are dental implants?<\/h2>\n

Dental implants<\/a> are one of the most successful tooth replacement restorations. They are an ideal way to restore form and function in the mouth for patients who are missing teeth. Dental implants are considered a permanent restoration and can last a lifetime with good eating habits and proper oral care.<\/p>\n

The dental implant is a post that is surgically placed into the jawbone during an outpatient procedure. The implant acts as a replacement for the missing tooth root to create a stable foundation for dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.<\/p>\n

The dental implant procedure<\/h2>\n

The procedure itself involves placement of implant into the dental arch. Once the post is permanently inserted into the jawbone, it is left alone to heal and fuse with the bone. This process can take several months. In the interim, temporary restorations can be used. Once the healing process is complete, a crown, bridge, or denture can be snapped over the implant, preventing sliding or rubbing along the gum line.<\/p>\n

Dental implants are ideal for patients who have failing teeth, no teeth, current denture wearers or require a full arch replacement (upper and\/or lower).<\/p>\n
