Thinking of getting dental implants to replace your missing teeth? Dr. Pirooz Zomorrodi, your dentist at Advance Family Dental Care, can answer all your questions about getting dental implants in Naperville, IL.
What Are Dental Implants
Dental implants are dental appliances that your dentist installs into your jaw to replace your missing teeth from root to crown.
The security of dental implant installation grants it several advantages over other tooth replacement options.
What Are Dental Implants Made From
The root of your dental implant which your dentist installs in your jaw bone is usually titanium. Thanks to titanium's inertness, your body is less likely to reject the implant.
The crown which, rises above your gum looking like your natural teeth, could be ceramic or porcelain.
Your dentist, Dr. Zomorrodi might tint the crowns of your dental implants in Naperville, IL, to match your natural teeth for a flawless finish.
The Installation Process Might Take a Few Months
If you're getting dental implants in Naperville, IL, don't expect same-day installation.
First, your dentist at Advance Family Dental Care will assess your teeth and jaw bone to ascertain if you're fit for dental implants. This process might involve imaging tests to assess your jaw bone density.
Following your consultation, you'll be scheduled for the surgical installation of the roots of your dental implants. For a few months after your surgery, you'll wear temporary caps to protect your dental implants.
This period allows your jaw bone to grow around your dental implants and secure them in place.
Finally, you can get your custom-made dental implant crowns that look like your real teeth.
They Don't Need Special Care
Your dental implants are pretty easy to maintain. You'll hardly notice they're there because you'll be caring for them like your natural teeth.
Remember to brush your teeth at least twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove bacteria and debris.
You can fill up the gaps in your smile with dental implants. Call (630) 357-2332 to schedule your appointment with Dr. Zomorrodi of Advance Family Dental Care to discuss getting dental implants in Naperville, IL.
