How To Choose Best Dental Implant Specialist

 

When electing to undergo any surgical procedure, selecting the right doctor or dentist can be essential for achieving a successful result. Cosmetic dental implants are no exception to that rule.

The dental implants procedure is typically completed in two distinct stages:

• Placement Of Dental Implants
• Final Restoration Of Dental Implants

The titanium implant post that serves as the artificial tooth root is placed into the jawbone during the initial dental implant stage.

Next, after this artificial tooth root has fused with the surrounding bone tissues, a custom-fabricated dental restoration (typically a porcelain crown) is attached to the dental implants.

Finding the Best Implant Dentist Las Vegas

The role of a cosmetic dentist is usually to design and plan for the placement of the dental implant, custom design and fabricate the restoration, and attach the final restoration to the implant to restore lost function and esthetics due to missing teeth.

These steps are integral to the fit, comfort, function, and aesthetics of the outcome.

When researching the best cosmetic dentists near you for your dental implant procedure, we recommend asking these essential questions to determine the quality and experience of the dentist:

• What are the dentist’s educational background, advanced training, and expertise regarding dental implants?
• Does the dentist specialize in dental implants?
• What types and brands of dental implants does the dentist offer?
• Where are the porcelain crowns made? Locally or Out of Country?

It is also suggested to research each cosmetic dentist for patient reviews and dental implant before-and-after photos. You can read and see first-hand accounts of patient experiences and results you can expect to achieve.

Who Needs A Dental Implant In Las Vegas?

According to the American Academy Of Implant Dentistry, approximately 3 million people have a dental implant. Patients missing one tooth, several teeth, or all of their teeth can enjoy dental implants as the ideal tooth-replacement option.

While, in theory, dental implants can be placed at any age, it is not recommended for patients under 16 or 17. Most dentists recommend waiting until a patient’s jaws have developed before undergoing this treatment.

Cost of Dental Implants In Las Vegas

Cheaper tooth replacement alternatives, like removable dentures and dental bridges, have drawbacks. They may need to be replaced every few years, uncomfortable and challenging to keep clean. Removable options cannot fuse to the jaw bone and prevent bone loss.

This continued bone loss can lead to additional expenses and sometimes extensive bone grafting procedures.

Dental implants have become the #1 tooth replacement option since they replace the bone tissue’s tooth and root. They can last a lifetime with proper dental hygiene maintenance.

With dental implants, you can enjoy the stability, durability, and ease of your replacement teeth without any parts that can move or cause discomfort.

The cost of dental implant treatment depends on many factors, including:

• How many dental implants are required?
• Type of dental implants do you require
• Is bone grafting required?
• Your choice of anesthesia
• Your dental insurance coverage

Las Vegas dentist Marielaina Perrone DDS will cover all of these variables with you during the free consultation and discuss your options for financing and payment plans.

Denture Replacement With Dental Implants

Dentures are another option for replacing missing teeth. Unfortunately, they only restore the appearance of your smile with limited functional improvements.

Removable dentures rest directly on the bony ridge of the jaws and do not provide the same stability or durability as natural teeth or dental implants. Many denture wearers will often seek a more stable, comfortable, and long-term solution and look towards dental implants.

Dental implants can restore your smile and function through full-arch restoration. This treatment uses several dental implants to support a fixed prosthesis. Your dentist can replace partial dentures with implant-supported bridges or multiple single dental implants.

If you are looking for a denture replacement in Las Vegas, NV, Marielaina Perrone DDS can help.
