When Is Dental Implant Surgery Needed?

Having an unsatisfactory smile can significantly affect the quality of your life. However, your dentist in Edina, MN can offer a solution by recommending dental implants to restore your smile, and boost your confidence.

WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?

Dental implants are titanium-based medical devices that can replace lost or damaged teeth, providing long-lasting stability and comfort. When traditional dentures no longer provide the necessary support and function, dental implant surgery in Edina, MN is often the next step. 

Dental implant surgery involves the placement of artificial dental implants into the patient’s jawbone to support teeth that have been lost or damaged due to various factors, such as advanced age, tooth loss caused by trauma, disease, or decay, or insufficient bone density in the jawbone. Dental implants come in two basic types: single-unit and multiple-unit, with the former consisting of a post and a crown.

Although dental implants function like natural teeth, proper care is necessary to ensure their longevity. Patients must follow the dentist's instructions for cleaning and avoid consuming harsh, acidic, hard, or sticky foods. Regular dental appointments are also crucial to maintaining the health of dental implants.
