What Are Dental Implants?
Peoria, AZ
 Having a huge gap between your teeth is not an ideal situation for anyone. However, many times because of decay, infection, or excessive wear, we are forced to have our teeth removed. If you have been forced to remove a tooth for one reason or another, we can help restore your smile by placing dental implants.
Types of Dental Implants
There are two types of dental implants and each has its benefits. When you come to us for the dental implant procedure, we will conduct a thorough oral exam to help determine whether endosteal or subperiosteal is the best option. Endosteal is a procedure where the implants are placed in the jawbone. With the subperiosteal process, the implants are placed under the gum. Endosteal is the most common type of dental implant chosen, due to the ease of the procedure and the fact these dental implants are longer lasting.
The dental implants are made out of titanium which is both lightweight and long lasting - up to 25 years. At Victor Nitu DDS, our trained staff know how you value your looks and smile. For this reason, we will help restore your smile by providing the right dental implants.
Why Should I have Dental Implants?
Most people have to undergo implant placement due to the fact that they have lost teeth or they have suffered with decayed teeth. However, this is not the only benefit of having dental implants. One of the common reasons for people opting for dental implants is that it restores lost beauty. The loss of a tooth might leave your mouth out of shape. Since dental implants feel and look like regular teeth, they provide the best option for those who have suffered tooth loss.
Besides the aesthetic benefits of dental implants, they also help strengthen your teeth. Even when only one tooth is removed, the jawbone can be affected. If space is left by missing teeth, the jawbone will begin to decay. Dental implants reduce the chance of losing bone mass in your jawbone. We recommend dental implants to all of our clients who undergo tooth extractions due to their durability and aesthetic appeal. Since dental implants are fused to your jaw, they are permanent and can last a lifetime.
Is The Procedure Painful?
The reason why most people opt out of dental implants is an unnecessary fear of the procedure. Contrary to popular perception, dental implants are not painful. If you have undergone a tooth extraction without incident, you should not have any problem with dental implants. Just like extractions and other dental procedures, anaesthesia is used to reduce the pain and discomfort while placing the implants. As a matter of fact, an implant placement is typically less painful than an extraction since it is placed in a position where a tooth has already been removed. You may experience mild soreness after the procedure. Our dentists will provide medication to help deal with the symptoms.
