Replace Missing Teeth with Strong, Lasting Dental Implants

Doctor Maggie Ernst on dental implants

Implants are sort of the gold standard of replacing teeth because they're the closest that we can get to your natural tooth. So when you're missing a tooth, the surgeon has usually taken out the crown part of the tooth and the root, and what an implant does is it restores both of those without damaging any adjacent teeth. So the implant goes into the bone of the tooth, acts as that root, and then the crown goes on top.
It looks like a tooth, it feels like a tooth, you brush it and you floss it sort of all the same, and that's the closest that we can get to what was missing originally. Dental implants are great because they can improve the function of the oral cavity. So when you are missing teeth, you don't have a great ability to chew sometimes, and so those dental implants can act as an anchor to really fill those spaces and kind of get your mouth back to premium health and function.
Getting a patient back to full function can often mean the world to them. You know, when you're missing a tooth, you have to consciously think about where you're eating and what you're eating, and when we're able to restore a patient back to optimum health where they have, you know, missing teeth are replaced with implants, then they don't have to think about that anymore. They can go enjoy dinner at a restaurant with friends and not have to worry about, you know, can I eat something that's on the menu or not.

Improve Your Teeth & Improve Your Life

Dental implants function as replacement tooth roots. After your dentist places them in your jaw, the implants will chemically fuse with your bone in a process called osseointegration. After the fusing process and healing period are complete, your implants will be ready to support your new teeth. Your restoration options could then include:

  • Implant-Supported Crowns - We can place a porcelain crown on top of an implant to replace a single missing tooth. Your new tooth will blend in naturally with the rest of your smile and function as well as your original tooth.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges - We can replace several missing teeth in a row with a bridge that anchors to dental implants. Your new bridge will fill in the gap in your smile and allow you to eat your favorite foods again.
  • Implant-Retained Dentures - These dentures are a step above conventional dentures. They are secured to implants using a snap-and-ball system so you won't have to worry about them slipping, clicking, or popping out of place.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures - These are our most comfortable and best-performing dentures. They anchor to a bar that is secured to dental implants. The forces of biting and chewing are transferred to your jaw through the bar, serving the same function your natural teeth do.

Dental implants in Cincinnati may be exactly what you need to take care of your missing teeth! Call Bell Dental Group today at 513-802-9440 to schedule your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

Do dental implants hurt?

Most of our dental implant patients report little discomfort when they receive their dental implants. We'll make sure your mouth is completely numb in the area where we're working, and afterward, most discomfort can be eliminated with over-the-counter pain relievers. All in all, you should have a relatively pain-free dental implant experience.

How much do dental implants cost?

The final cost of your dental implant treatment will depend on several factors. These include the number of implants needed, where they're located, the type of replacement teeth you choose, and the material your teeth are made from. Your dentist will work one-on-one with you to develop a treatment plan and give you an accurate estimate for your care.

Which is better: dentures or implants?

Conventional dentures cost less than dental implant dentures. However, some of the benefits of implants may make it worth the added cost. For instance, dental implants will keep you from suffering the bone loss that causes your jaw to shrink, giving you an older appearance and making it more difficult to keep your dentures in place. They can also last a lifetime.
