Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent solution to the problem of missing teeth.
Unlike dentures or partials, you won’t experience problems with slipping and sliding; they don’t require any specialized daily care routine beyond regular brushing and flossing when needed for best results! Implants can support bridges in fewer adjustments during more complex restorations than other options like wearing false molars on top as replacement teeth while waiting out treatment times from normal dental practices. Our team at Wilton Smiles can help you decide if dental implants are right for you!
Do I Need Dental Implants?
Missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious and insecure. These are legitimate concerns. A missing tooth has an undesirable social stigma attached to it, which may result in unfair judgment from others.
This problem goes beyond just being aesthetically unpleasing – those without full sets of pearly whites will also have difficulty enjoying the foods they need for proper nutrition, due to their injury risk increasing significantly. Not only do nutritional deficiencies pose safety risks, but vitamin D deficiency is thought to play a role in early childhood development as well.
Dental implants are the answer to not only preventing, but also halting bone loss. Missing teeth can take a toll on your appearance as well, causing early aging and even toothlessness in some cases.
The best part? Denture-grade porcelain or metal crowns may not be able to match what dental implant therapy provides: an opportunity for life again with a confident smile that will never change its tune no matter how much time goes by.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are an excellent option for people with healthy teeth and gums.
However, some conditions can affect their effectiveness so it’s important that you bring any questions or concerns about your health history to Wilton Smiles before we proceed.
Don’t worry – even if you have a concern related to implantation itself (for example: cysts), many of these problems will still be manageable by careful planning on both sides! Our dental team at Wilton Smiles need this information in order to account for potential issues during treatment while taking appropriate precautions beforehand as well.
How Are Dental Implants Placed?
Before beginning the actual implant process, we will perform a full examination. It is necessary to ensure that your bone is in good condition and can handle these titanium posts, which are securely attached directly by way of surgery. You may also be eligible for grafting or other procedures like tooth-colored resin crowns during this time.
The titanium posts for your implants will be placed. Once you have healed sufficiently, we can offer a temporary crown over the implant while waiting on permanent teeth from dentistry labs who are known for their high-quality work. When they return with this final product in hand – it’s yours. We’ll check to ensure everything fits as expected and then complete all our efforts so that not only do these new additions look great too added function – they also perform smoothly every time.
