The Implant Advantage

So What Is a Dental Implant?

Diagram of dental implant, abutment, and crown — An implant is a small titanium post embedded into the jawbone in place of a missing tooth. Implants act as artificial tooth roots, stimulating your oral tissues and securing a prosthetic. By comprehensively restoring the tooth’s structure, a dental implant feels and functions just like a natural tooth.

The Importance of Your Dental Implant Provider

While a dentist's skill and experience are always important, they're essential for successful dental implant treatment. Implant placement surgery is a complex restorative procedure that requires the steady hand of a well-trained professional. Drs. Martin and Derek Farnsworth have education in advanced restorative dentistry and have been recognized in the field, including being named one of "America's Top Dentists." We ensure consistently successful results and unparalleled patient satisfaction using the highest quality materials and latest dental technology.

Candidates for Implants

To qualify for an implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture, you must meet a few important requirements. Candidates will need to have:

Selecting Your Implant-Supported Restoration

Dental implants are designed to address all types of tooth loss. Our Mesa patients can choose from several types of restorations to fit their needs.

Your Treatment Timeline

The process of getting implants requires multiple visits to our Mesa, AZ, practice over several months, but unlike many dentists, we perform the entire placement process from start to finish. Here are the steps involved in your treatment:

We can provide you with a temporary restoration to wear during the osseointegration period.

Procedure Planning

We begin by carefully planning your treatment using our advanced 3D cone beam scanner. Our dentists analyze the digital images of your teeth and jawbone to determine if you need any preliminary procedures, such as a bone graft, and craft custom surgical guides to ensure precise implantation.

Implant Surgery

The next step is a surgical procedure to place the dental implants. We administer an anesthetic and any additional sedation needed to ensure your comfort. Once your mouth is numb, we create small incisions and carefully insert the posts with the help of surgical guides.

Osseointegration

Over the next four to six months, the implants fuse to your jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. Don't worry — we can provide you with a temporary restoration to wear during this period to fill the gaps in your smile.

Abutments

Once osseointegration is complete, we schedule another minor surgical procedure to place abutments. Abutments are small caps for each implant that connect the implant with your restoration.

Tooth Restoration

After allowing a few weeks for your gums to heal, you will be ready for your permanent implant-supported crown, bridge, or denture. We work with skilled technicians at our partner dental lab to craft the most natural-looking prosthetics. While this step may require a few fittings, we are committed to giving you a restoration that looks natural and fits seamlessly.

Maintaining Your Dental Implants

You will receive detailed care instructions when your treatment is completed, but most dental implant maintenance is straightforward.

One of the biggest advantages of implants is that they are anchored in the jawbone and treated much the same way as natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures that require rinsing after meals and soaking overnight, it's unlikely you'll need to incorporate additional steps into your dental hygiene routine. Just brush and floss daily and attend regular checkups at our Mesa practice.

Are There Any Downsides to Implants?

Dental implants are generally considered the most beneficial method of tooth replacement and are low-risk for qualified patients. While there is a chance of complications, as with any surgical procedure, dental implants have an overall success rate of up to 98%.

The biggest drawback for most patients is the price of treatment. Unfortunately, implants are more expensive than traditional forms of restorative dentistry. However, our Mesa, AZ, practice is committed to keeping our prices fair, competitive, and manageable with financing options through CareCredit® and LendingClub®. It is also important to consider the potential long-term savings of dental implants. Many patients can avoid costly restorative treatments in the future by protecting their oral health and bone structure with implants.

If you have any concerns about implants being right for you, please talk to our team during your consultation. We want to help you make informed decisions about your dental care and, ultimately, find the best treatment for your unique needs.
