Why Replace Missing Teeth?
Dental implants offer a durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing solution to these problems, helping to maintain your oral health and restore your smile.
Signs It's Time to Consider Dental Implants
If you're experiencing any of the following, it may be time to discuss dental implants with your dentist:
- You have one or more missing teeth.
- You have trouble eating.
- Your dentures are uncomfortable or loose.
- You're experiencing jawbone loss or deterioration.
- You're self-conscious about your smile.
Understanding the Benefits of Tooth Implants
At Lifetime Family Dental, we're committed to offering solutions that not only restore your smile but also enhance your quality of life. Here's why we recommend dental implants:
- Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants mimic the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth, providing a seamless addition to your smile.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, unlike dentures or bridges that may need replacement.
- Preserves Bone Health: Implants stimulate bone growth, preventing the jawbone deterioration that often follows tooth loss.
- Improved Oral Health: Unlike bridges, implants don't require altering adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that acts as a tooth root, an abutment, and a custom-made crown that mimics your natural teeth.
How do dental implants compare to dentures or bridges?
- Implants are more durable than dentures or bridges, with the potential to last a lifetime.
- Unlike other options, implants stimulate and preserve bone growth, preventing jawbone deterioration.
- Implants restore nearly 100% of your natural chewing ability, unlike dentures, which may limit the types of food you can comfortably eat.
- Implants look and feel like your natural teeth, providing a more aesthetic and comfortable solution.
Are dental implants painful?
With modern dental techniques and anesthesia, most patients report minimal discomfort during the implant procedure. Post-operative discomfort can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults in good general health and with adequate jawbone to support the implant are candidates for dental implants. A detailed evaluation by your dentist will determine if implants are the right choice for you.
How long does the dental implant process take?
The process can vary, typically ranging from a few months to over a year, depending on your individual case, including the need for bone grafts and the time needed for healing and osseointegration.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups to ensure they last a lifetime.
