What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an incredibly advanced tooth replacement solution highly recommended by dental professionals. They are designed to replicate the natural structure and function of teeth, meaning they look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth. Dental implants are made of biocompatible titanium, a well-tolerated material by the human body. This ensures that the implant will not be rejected by your body's immune system and will instead integrate seamlessly with your jawbone over time.


One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is that they can serve as artificial roots for dental prosthetics like crowns, bridges, or dentures. This means they provide a permanent and reliable solution for those seeking to restore their smile. With a dental implant, you can enjoy a restored smile that looks and feels natural and that will last for many years to come. 



Overall, dental implants are a highly effective and safe solution for those seeking to replace one or more missing teeth. They offer a range of benefits over other tooth replacement options, including improved oral health, enhanced speech and chewing abilities, and a more natural-looking smile.

The Implant Placement Process

The following steps are usually involved in the placement of dental implants:

Initial Consultation: Your oral health and treatment objectives will be assessed during your initial consultation with Dr. Lyuba Taft to assess bone density and determine whether you are a candidate for dental implants; a comprehensive examination may include dental imaging techniques like x-rays or CT scans.


Treatment Plan: Based on the results of your initial evaluation, a customized treatment plan is developed to address any specific needs or objectives you may have. This plan can include the number and type of implants needed, as well as any additional procedures, such as bone grafting or sinus augmentation, that may be required to maximize implant success.


Implant Placement: The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia for the patient's comfort. Dr. Lyuba Taft will place the dental implants in the jawbone according to predetermined locations, using precise surgical protocols. This ensures optimal stability and integration of the surrounding bone tissue.

Osseointegration: Following implant placement, the implants are fused with the jawbone by the natural healing process. This integration provides a durable and strong foundation for attaching dental restorations. It also ensures long-term functionality and stability.


Restorative: Once the osseointegration process is completed, dental restorations like crowns, dentures, or bridges can be attached securely to implants to replace missing teeth and restore aesthetics and oral function. These custom-designed, high-quality prosthetics are designed to seamlessly blend with your smile while providing maximum comfort and functionality.

Dental Implants: Benefits and Treatment

Dental implants are a revolutionary way to replace teeth. They offer several benefits over other options, such as removable dentures or bridges. These include:

  • Stability and Durability Enhanced:

    Dental implants are securely anchored in the jawbone and provide unmatched stability and durability. This foundation is strong enough to allow implants to resist biting and chewing without shifting or slipping, providing optimal comfort and functionality.

  • Preserving Bone Structure and Facial Beauty:

    After tooth loss, the jawbone beneath gradually deteriorates because tooth roots lack stimulation. Dental implants stimulate bone growth by mimicking the natural function of tooth roots. They also prevent bone resorption. Implants help maintain facial aesthetics by preserving facial contours and bone structure. They also prevent the sunken look often associated with toothlessness.

  • Increased Speech Clarity and Chewing Efficiency:

    Dental Implants restore the ability to bite, chew, and speak confidently. They provide a stable, secure base for chewing crunchy or hard foods and accurately articulating speech, unlike traditional dentures, which may restrict dietary choices and compromise clarity.

  • Confidence Restored and Improved Self-Esteem:

    Losing teeth can affect self-esteem, confidence, and quality of life. Dental implants are a functional and natural solution to replace missing teeth. They restore confidence, allow individuals to laugh and smile without embarrassment, and enable them to engage in social interactions.

  • Long-Term Dental Health and Functionality:

    Dental Implants are designed to last. They offer a long-lasting alternative to tooth replacement. With proper maintenance and care, implants can last for decades and promote optimal oral health.

  • Convenience & Ease Of Maintenance:

    The traditional dentures require adhesives, cleaning solutions, or nightly removal. Implants are just like real teeth, and they can be cleaned, flossed, and maintained with ease. This ease of use simplifies oral hygiene and encourages implant recipients to feel normal and independent.

Dental implants are a complete solution to tooth loss. They address not only aesthetic issues but also functional and health concerns.
