Dental implants are the best modern dentistry procedure available to replace missing teeth. Drs. Salvatore Guerriero and Salvatore Colletta, your Nashua, NH, dentists offer this state-of-the-art technology to their patients, and are happy to serve you too!
More About Dental Implants
Dental implants are held in such high regard because they deliver longer-lasting results, preserve the integrity of the rest of your natural teeth, and prevent both jawbone deterioration and facial sagging. They also have a documented success rate of over 95 percent and can replace either a single tooth or multiple teeth.
Dental implants are small, screw-shaped titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots. Their titanium make up is biocompatible, ensuring that the device will successfully fuse with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. The installation procedure begins with your Nashua dentist applying local anesthesia on the problem area before opening it up and inserting the post. Next, your dentist surgically seals the area back up and allows the titanium post to osseointegrate.
When you come back your doctor re-opens the surgical area, in order to insert a screw and abutment. Your dentist then places a crown that matches the rest of your teeth on top and you're ready to walk out with a new smile!
Dental Implant Care and Maintenance
In order to properly care for your new dental implants, make sure that you maintain a healthy oral regimen, as poor oral hygiene may lead to a serious bacterial infection called peri-implantitis which destroys your teeth. Accordingly, adopt a habit of brushing and flossing every day while avoiding sugary foods and using excessive biting force. Teeth-grinding is also a serious issue that may damage your implant, so invest in a nightguard if you are prone to the behavior.
