Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that Dr. Bekov surgically places into your jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They serve as a sturdy foundation for various dental prosthetics, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. 

These implants are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that fuses with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This integration provides stability and strength that are comparable to your natural teeth.

What are All-on-X dental implants?

All-on-X dental implants, also known as full-arch implants, are a specific dental implant procedure designed to replace an entire arch of teeth in your upper or lower jaw. The "X" in All-on-X signifies the number of dental implants required to support the full arch of replacement teeth.

Usually, a minimum of four implants is used for each arch, although the exact number may vary based on your circumstances. All-on-X implants offer a fixed and permanent solution if you have significant tooth loss or are seeking a more stable alternative to traditional dentures.

When are dental implants necessary?

Dental implants are necessary in various situations, including:

Tooth loss

When you have one or more teeth missing due to decay, injury, or other reasons, dental implants provide a durable and natural-looking replacement option.

Jawbone preservation

Implants help prevent bone loss in your jaw by stimulating bone growth and maintaining its structure and density.

Improved oral function

Dental implants restore your chewing ability, speech, and overall oral function, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably.

Enhanced aesthetics

Implants closely resemble your natural teeth, promoting a more youthful smile that can boost your confidence.

Long-term durability

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run compared to other dental prosthetics.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Dental implants offer many benefits, including:

• Improved oral health
• Enhanced aesthetics
• Restored functionality
• Increased comfort and confidence

Additionally, dental implants offer a permanent solution that doesn’t require removal for cleaning or maintenance, unlike traditional dentures. 

With advancements in dental technology and techniques, dental implants have become a widely accepted and preferred option for tooth replacement, providing a reliable and long-lasting solution for restoring smiles and oral health.
