What Are Dental Implants?
The Components of Your Dental Implant
Dental implants consist of three key components:
- The Implant: A titanium post that integrates with your jawbone.
- The Abutment: A connector placed on top of the dental implant to hold and support the crown.
- The Crown: A custom-made replacement tooth, made of ceramic or porcelain, designed to match your natural teeth.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer several benefits over other tooth replacement options:
- Natural Look and Feel: Designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.
- Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
- Bone Preservation: Prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
- Enhanced Comfort: Eliminates the discomfort and insecurity often associated with dentures.
- Convenience: No need for messy adhesives; dental implants stay securely in place.
- Improved Speech and Eating: Implants allow you to speak and eat with confidence, without the worry of slipping dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made from titanium, used to support a restoration for a missing tooth or teeth, helping to prevent jaw bone loss. The implantation procedure involves placing the implant into the jawbone to act as a foundation for an artificial tooth, bridge, or denture.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Most individuals who are in good general health and have sufficient bone in their jaw to support an implant can be considered for dental implants. A thorough evaluation by our team at Heresi Dental Care will determine if dental implants are the right option for you.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The dental implant process varies from patient to patient, typically ranging from three to six months. This timeline includes the initial consultation, the implant surgery, the healing period (osseointegration), and the placement of the final crown or prosthetic tooth.
Are dental implants painful?
Patients are often surprised to find that the discomfort associated with dental implants is minimal. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure to ensure comfort, and many patients report that they feel less discomfort than they anticipated.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth, involving daily brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups with your dentist. Proper oral hygiene practices will help ensure the longevity of your dental implants.
Can dental implants fail?
While dental implants have a high success rate, there are instances where they can fail due to factors such as improper placement, infection, or insufficient bone density. However, choosing a skilled dental team like Heresi Dental Care significantly reduces the risk of implant failure.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the number of implants needed and the complexity of the procedure. At Heresi Dental Care, we offer transparent pricing and various financing options to make dental implants accessible to our patients.
Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Coverage for dental implants varies by insurance provider and plan. Our team at Heresi Dental Care is happy to help you understand your insurance benefits and explore all available financing options to ensure your treatment is as affordable as possible.
