Many patients are eligible candidates for this tooth replacement option. The indications for dental implants are listed below:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Missing One Tooth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">Patients who are missing a single tooth can have it replaced without affecting those that surround it with the help of a dental implant. The post is placed in the area where the root once was and a customized dental crown will be placed on top months later. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Missing Multiple Teeth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">In instances where multiple teeth have been lost, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/dental-implant-bridges-dentures.html\"><span class=\"s5\">implant-retained bridge<\/span><\/a> can fill in the gap while keeping the teeth that surround it right where they should be. 1-3 implant posts may be required for a bridge. This option can be fixed or removable, depending on patient preference. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Missing All Teeth<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When all the teeth have gone missing in the upper or lower jaw, a traditional denture may not provide an adequate fit. Dental implants can retain a complete denture to promote a nutritious diet and facilitate clear speech. Options like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/all-on-4-6-dental-implants.html\"><span class=\"s5\">All-on-4<\/span><\/a> (or Teeth In a Day) are available for patients who may not be eligible for traditional dental implants<\/span><span class=\"s6\">, or for patients who desire the best that dentistry has to offer to replace a complete arch of missing teeth.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">How Dental Implants Work<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/how-dental-implants-work.html\">Dental implants work<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s1\"> by <\/span><span class=\"s6\">integrating<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> with your jaw bone in <\/span><span class=\"s6\">through<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> process known as osseointegration. First, the <\/span><span class=\"s6\">implant <\/span><span class=\"s1\">posts <\/span><span class=\"s6\">(screws)<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> are placed surgically into the area <\/span><span class=\"s6\">of the missing teeth<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. Then, over <\/span><span class=\"s6\">a<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> period of 4 to 6 months, osseointegration occurs. The implant post is exposed once more and a connecting abutment <\/span><span class=\"s6\">is <\/span><span class=\"s1\">attached. After a final brief healing period, the crown, bridge, or denture is <\/span><span class=\"s6\">connected<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> to the abutment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants <\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">There is no fixed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capitalsmiles.com\/how-much-do-dental-implants-cost.html\"><span class=\"s5\">price for dental implants<\/span><\/a>, and the cost of your procedure will vary based on a few factors.
