The Benefits of Dental Implants

A missing tooth can cause a whole array of issues with your smile. From shifting teeth to bone atrophy, leaving a gap untreated can have a detrimental effect on the health of your teeth. The versatility of dental implants lets you fill in your smile in various situations — from a single missing tooth to a whole arch of gaps. Find out more about dental implants with Dr. Susan Silvestri and Dr. Ronnie Deniger at Silvestri and Deniger Dentistry in Slidell, LA.
What is a dental implant?
Dental implants are a restorative dental procedure that focuses on replacing one, several, or all of your missing teeth. Implant dentistry is unique from other forms of tooth replacement options because it integrates into the bone below your missing tooth, providing a secure foundation for the replacement tooth itself. Implants are often considered the most lifelike solution to missing teeth and are made to last a lifetime.
Are dental implants safe?
Implant dentistry is FDA-approved and considered safe for use. Like any dental procedure, especially one requiring anesthetic, there are certain risks associated with implants and the process to place them in the mouth. However, the risk is considered low and most people can benefit from this powerful dental procedure.
Dental Implants in Slidell, LA
If you think you can benefit from dental implants, you should first determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Someone considering dental implants should be free from teeth decay and gum disease or be willing to undergo the procedures necessary to reverse these conditions prior to placing their implants. The patient should also have a strong at-home oral care routine to ensure that both their natural teeth and implants remain healthy and free from complications such as cavities or gingivitis.
