Replace Your Missing Teeth for Your Oral Health

Dental Implants in Fishers, IN

diagram of dental implants in fishers in Dental implants provide an ideal tooth replacement solution for many patients, whether they're missing a single missing tooth or have multiple teeth missing. We often recommend dental implants at Dentistry of Fishers because they provide our patients with unique health benefits, durability, and a natural look and feel.

We can restore your smile and create the best oral health possible with dental implants in Fishers.

Why Is Tooth Replacement Important?

A missing tooth affects your overall oral health. When you have a gap, or multiple gaps, where teeth are missing, your remaining teeth can begin to drift into those spaces, causing bite misalignment. Without the stimulation of your tooth roots, your jawbone can also start to deteriorate, which can affect your facial structure.

Additionally, patients with missing teeth often report hiding their smiles due to embarrassment, which we never want.

Fortunately, a dental implant can solve those problems, keeping your teeth, gums, and jawbone healthy and strong while also creating a full, beautiful smile.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant consists of three parts: the titanium implant, which the dentist places in your jaw, a custom-made dental crown, which acts as your tooth, and the piece that connects the two, called an abutment.

The titanium implant is biocompatible, meaning it's compatible with your body's tissue. When we place it in the jaw, it will integrate with your jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. This is a unique feature of dental implants, which you won't enjoy with other tooth replacements.

Since the implant integrates into your jawbone, it provides the same stimulation as a natural tooth root, encouraging bone growth. In this way, dental implants prevent bone loss and preserve your jawbone, keeping your jaw healthy and strong while also providing all the other oral health benefits of tooth replacement.

Why Choose Dental Implants Over Other Options?

In addition to maintaining your oral health and jaw strength, dental implants have many benefits. We have listed a few below for your convenience.

Dental implants are:

A durable tooth replacement that can last a lifetime when care for properly
Functional, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and speak clearly and with confidence
Comfortable, with the same feel as a natural tooth
Natural-looking and custom-made to match your smile

Our friendly and caring team has seen firsthand how dental implants can change a patient's life. With a new, complete smile, patients can get more enjoyment from simple, everyday activities, like eating a delicious meal or taking a photo with friends, while improving their oral health.

Other tooth replacement options will provide some, but not all, of the benefits mentioned above. Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement for a reason, and we're proud to place quality dental implants in our Fisher dental office.

Your Dental Implant Appointment

When you visit our dental office, Dr. Jeremy Jones, DMD, will conduct a careful examination before recommending the best tooth replacement option for you. If you're considering dental implants, Dr. Jones will check your bone density during your exam to determine if your jaw bone can support a dental implant.

If you have insufficient jawbone material, Dr. Jones may recommend a bone graft before the dental implant to ensure an excellent, secure fit. If a bone graft isn't necessary, we'll begin planning your dental implant procedure so you can start enjoying your new, complete smile as soon as possible.

How long do dental implants last?

When it comes to tooth replacements, dental implants offer patients the closest option to natural teeth. Dr. Jeremy Jones, DMD, places the titanium dental implant directly into the patient’s jaw, where it integrates with the jawbone.

After the area heals, we attach a dental crown or another tooth replacement option, like dentures or bridge, to the dental implant using an abutment. The dental implant itself can last a lifetime with proper care, which makes it an excellent, long-lasting tooth replacement option for many patients. However, the crown, bridge, or dentures will eventually require replacement.

How Long Does the Denture, Crown, or Bridge Last?

If we’ve attached a dental crown, dentures, or a bridge to your dental implant, that portion of your tooth replacement may need replacement at some point. However, if you adhere to an excellent oral hygiene routine and care for your tooth replacement by avoiding some habits, like chewing on ice or your fingernails, then any of these restorations can last a decade or more.

To extend the life of your tooth replacement, you should also wear a night guard at night if you tend to grind your teeth or clench your jaw and avoid eating crunchy or hard foods that damage the restoration.

What are the different types of dental implants?

Do you currently suffer from missing teeth? Maybe you’ve discussed dental implants with a dentist or a friend. While dental implants can successfully fix a smile, they can do more than replace a single tooth.

How Dental Implants Work

A dental implant generally goes into the jawbone and is a long-term solution to replace a missing tooth. The titanium implant stimulates jawbone growth and ultimately adds to the durability and longevity of the implant. Implants can replace single teeth or support other structures in the mouth, depending on the situation.

Different Types of Dental Implants in Fishers

At Dentistry of Fishers, we can use implants to assist our patients with several tooth replacement situations. Upon initial consultation, we can determine the best use for dental implants. Some examples include:

A dental implant can replace a single tooth with a titanium implant and dental crown to restore cosmetic appearance and function.
Dental implants can support a bridge (a row of connected dental crowns). Patients with missing and damaged teeth may benefit from this use of dental implants.
Patients may benefit from a set of strategically-placed dental implants that support their dentures. These implants can support either removable dentures or fixed options and generally rely on four or six dental implants depending on the patient’s dentures.

Types of Dental Implants in Fishers, IN

Implant-Retained Bridge

Sometimes patients have one or two missing adjacent teeth and don’t want a single implant for both teeth. In this case, your dentist can use one implant to secure a dental bridge to the jaw. A dental ...
