Find out why they\u2019re the best replacement option, and exactly how they work &#8212; you might find that dental implants are the solution you (and your smile!) have been waiting for.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>What Are Dental Implants?<\/h3>\n<p>Made of sturdy titanium, dental implants are tiny posts that are surgically implanted into your jaw to replace the tooth\u2019s root &#8212; and that\u2019s what sets dental implants apart from other replacement options. Because our bones need stimulation to grow and remain healthy &#8212; and the roots of our teeth provide that stimulation &#8212; missing teeth can cause further jawbone deterioration that eventually leads to even more missing teeth.<\/p>\n<p>So whether it was an accident or some type of trauma that caused you to lose teeth, the important thing is replacing not only the tooth, but <em>also its root<\/em>. And other replacement options just don\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n<h3>How Do Dental Implants Work?<\/h3>\n<p>Once your dental implants have been surgically placed, you\u2019ll be given a recovery time of two to six months. It may sound like an eternity, but this time is necessary for the implants to become <em>osseointegrated, <\/em>or fused with the bone. Once the recovery period is complete and your dental implants are secure, it\u2019s time for the replacement teeth to be permanently bonded on.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re replacing all your teeth or just a few, the result is sure to be the same &#8212; a stunning, natural-looking smile you won\u2019t ever want to hide again.<\/p>\n<h3>Good Candidates for Dental Implants<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering whether or not you\u2019re a good candidate for dental implants, you\u2019re not alone. The good news is this &#8212; you probably are. You only need two things in order for dental implants to succeed:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Adequate existing jawbone. Sometimes, if you\u2019ve lived with missing teeth for many years, for example, there has been too much jawbone deterioration for dental implants to be successful. We\u2019ll use our quick (and free!) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arlingtondentalimplants.com\/dental-implants.html\">advanced 3D technology<\/a> to scan your jawbone first to ensure you have enough existing structure.<\/li>\n<li>Good oral and overall health. Whether in your mouth or elsewhere in your body, some medical problems &#8212; like extreme gum, or periodontal, disease &#8212; can prevent the success of dental implants. It\u2019s important you discuss your medical history with your dentist in your initial appointments to make sure we\u2019re totally informed in preparation for your unique treatment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Contact Your Dentist Today<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re missing teeth and believe that dental implants could be the solution you\u2019ve been looking for, don\u2019t wait to contact Dr. Baldwin, your Arlington, Mansfield, Fort Worth and Grand Prairie dentist. He\u2019s committed to delivering 5-star service and quality for all of our patients &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arlingtondentalimplants.com\/contact-us.html\">make your appointment<\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As your Arlington dentist, Dr. Baldwin has preferred dental implants to replace missing teeth for years.
