Discover the Benefits of Dental Implants

Want healthier brighter teeth? Do you want to fill that gap, or multiple gaps, that ruin your smile? Have you considered dental implants? Dental implants are a restorative procedure that replaces missing teeth. At Millard Hills Dental Health Center, dental specialists can help provide you with what you need at their Omaha, NE, office.

Dental implants

Dental implants consist of a titanium post that's inserted into your jaws to replace the missing tooth root. The post creates stability and strength to reinforce the jawbone and prevent shrinkage. One of the many advantages of the titanium post is that it's biocompatible so you don't have to worry about tissue rejection.

It takes the post 3-to-6 months to fuse to the jawbone. Next, the dentist will insert a screw, place an abutment above the screw and secure a custom-made crown, which is the only visible part of the implant.

Advantages and Benefits of Dental Implants 

  • A dental implant restores one tooth, a few teeth or all of your teeth.
  • They can restore bite and chewing function, as well as speech.
  • Dental implants are fixed in place and don't fall out while your speaking like other oral appliances.
  • Dental implants can last a lifetime if you take proper care of them.
  • Dental implants have a 95% success rate.

Taking care of your dental implants

Your Omaha dentist is the best person to speak with when it comes to dental care, especially during your regular checkup appointments and professional dental cleanings. At home, brush your teeth twice a day and floss once before bed. That'll reduce food debris and bacteria growing on teeth and under gums.
