When choosing a dental implant procedure at Ellis County Family Dentistry, you can expect a comprehensive and personalized experience. Dr. Atkins will begin with a thorough consultation to assess your oral health and discuss your goals.
The dental implant procedure typically involves several stages, starting with any necessary preparatory procedures like tooth extraction or bone grafting.
During the implant surgery, At Ellis County Family Dentistry, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional dental care and a positive experience for our patients. But don’t just take our word for it—read what our satisfied patients have to say! will carefully place the titanium post into your jawbone under local anesthesia. Following this, there’s a healing period of several months to allow the implant to fuse with your bone.
Once healed, an abutment is attached, and finally, your custom-made crown is placed. Throughout the process, our team will ensure your comfort, provide detailed aftercare instructions, and be available to address any concerns.
While the timeline can vary depending on individual needs, most patients find the end result – a natural-looking, functional tooth replacement – well worth the investment of time.
Dental implants offer numerous benefits that make them an excellent choice for replacing missing teeth. At Ellis County Dentistry, Dr. Atkins provides dental implants that look, feel, and function like natural teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
These permanent tooth replacements help preserve jawbone structure, preventing the bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures (removable teeth) or bridges, implants don’t require altering adjacent healthy teeth, promoting better long-term oral health.
Dental implants also help maintain facial structure, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with gum tissue and tooth loss. Additionally, they’re easy to care for, requiring the same oral hygiene practices as your natural teeth. With dental implants, patients experience improved self-esteem and quality of life, enjoying the freedom to eat their favorite foods and smile without hesitation.
At Ellis County Family Dentistry, we prioritize your comfort throughout the implant process. The procedure itself is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Some patients may experience mild discomfort and swelling in the days following the procedure, but this can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Dr. Atkins will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions and can prescribe stronger pain relief if needed. Most patients report that the process is much more comfortable than they anticipated.
The timeline for dental implants can vary depending on individual circumstances. Typically, the entire process takes about 3-6 months. This includes the initial consultation, implant placement surgery, healing period (osseointegration), and final restoration placement. Some patients may require preliminary procedures like bone grafting, which can extend the timeline. During your consultation, Dr. Atkins will provide a personalized treatment plan with a more accurate timeline based on your specific needs.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on factors such as the number of implants needed, any preparatory procedures required, and the type of restoration. While dental implants may have a higher upfront cost compared to other tooth replacement options, their longevity and benefits often make them a cost-effective choice in the long run. Regarding insurance, coverage for dental implants has improved in recent years, but it varies by provider. Our team at Ellis County Family Dentistry will work with you to understand your insurance benefits and explore financing options to make this investment in your oral health as affordable as possible.
