What Are Dental Implants?
Seeing an oral surgeon about lost teeth is important to the general health and function of the mouth. To help Germantown, Arlington, Cordova, and surrounding Tennessee individuals productively resolve extracted or lost teeth, Drs. Sexton, Weiskopf, and Russ are extremely pleased to provide dental implants to accomplish lifelike tooth replacement. An implant consists of a metal post that acts as an artificial tooth root. A custom dental crown, bridge, or full arch fills in for the viewable part of the lost tooth or multiple teeth. When you are dealing with tooth loss or need a tooth removal, schedule a checkup at your nearest Sexton Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery location and learn your dental implant possibilities.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are commonly favored among our Memphis, TN patients due to the substantial scope of health advantages they offer. As efficient substitutes, oral implants:
- Do not rely on nearby teeth to keep their place
- Work as a durable option
- Allow for better biting strength and durability of replacement teeth
- Act like normal teeth in function and look
- Fuse with the jawbone to help retain jaw health and function
- Might increase your self-assurance with speaking and any time your teeth show
- Promote the consumption of a full diet
What Is the Treatment Process for Getting Dental Implants?
The treatment for fixed implants entails the precise positioning of the implant and the securing of a realistic restoration (such as full-arch pieces, bridges, and crowns). As soon as the area is prepared for treatment, it is numbed with local anesthesia. Other sedation methods, including IV sedation, could also be utilized to help you feel calm throughout your visit. The metal screw will be surgically placed within the jaw at a certain area and allowed a period of time to fuse with the tissue through a process known as osseointegration. Once the surgical area has fully healed, which is usually several months later, your general dentist will position a custom implant crown, denture, or bridge and evaluate the alignment of the jaw.
Sexton Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Reviews
Dr. Weiskopf and his staff were friendly and professional. They explained everything they were going to do, why and what to expect. Dr. Weiskopf explained everything to my husband and even called me the night of the procedure. I really received excellent care from start to finish. I will recommend him to anyone who is getting implants. ..
Extremely professional and gentle oral surgery. Got 2 implants this morning smooth as silk. Now 8 hours post op and haven’t taken anything for pain…just a little sore. Going to Tiger game soon. 😉👍👍 Alan Salomon, D.D.S.
Overall a very pleasant experience; Dr Sexton has excellent "bedside manner" , he thoroughly explained each step in the process and answered all my questions; dental implants are a long term experience and you need to plan for some inconvenience;
