Hollywood Dental Implants
Losing a tooth can impact your daily life, from simple conversations to enjoying your favorite meals. That’s why our specialized team at Broward Periodontics and Implant Dentistry provides high-quality Hollywood dental implants that restore your smile and give you back the confidence you deserve.
Whether you’re looking for a single implant or a full-arch solution like All-on-4®, we take the time to customize your treatment plan and ensure you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Our goal is to make your experience seamless and rewarding, so you can leave our office ready to smile with ease.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, that are placed into the jawbone to support dental restorations like crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring a secure and durable base for replacement teeth.
Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants offer superior stability, making them feel more like natural teeth.
Our Dental Implant Solutions
Single Implant
A single dental implant is used to replace one missing tooth. It consists of an implant post, an abutment, and a crown that fits seamlessly into the space, providing a natural look and strong functionality. Single implants are ideal for those who need a discrete solution without affecting neighboring teeth.
All-on-4® Dental Implants
For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, the All-on-4® treatment is a transformative option. This technique involves placing four strategically positioned implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth.
The All-on-4® system can restore your smile and oral function in a single day, giving you immediate results and enhanced comfort. It’s perfect for those who may not have enough bone density for traditional implants but still wish to achieve a stable, long-lasting solution.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are ideal for many people, but certain conditions must be met to ensure their success. A good candidate should:
- Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density to support the implant.
- Practice good oral hygiene and be committed to maintaining it.
- Be in good overall health, as certain conditions (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, severe periodontal disease) can affect healing.
- Avoid smoking, as it can lower the success rate of implants.
At Broward Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we conduct thorough evaluations to determine if dental implants are right for you and help you explore your options. For patients with insufficient bone density, we also offer bone grafting procedures to build up the jawbone and ensure a strong foundation for successful implant placement.
What is the Procedure for Getting Dental Implants?
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment
We start with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your oral health, jawbone density, and overall suitability for dental implants. Digital X-rays and 3D imaging may be used to create a detailed treatment plan.
Step 2: Implant Placement
The implant is surgically placed into the jaw during a procedure performed under local anesthesia. Our experienced specialists ensure the process is as comfortable as possible and monitor your recovery closely.
Step 3: Healing Period and Osseointegration
The implant needs time to integrate with the jawbone, which usually takes three to six months. During this period, we’ll guide you on post-surgery care to promote optimal healing.
Step 4: Abutment and Final Restoration
Once the implant has fully integrated, we attach an abutment, which connects the implant to the final restoration. This step may involve impressions to create a custom crown, bridge, or denture that matches your natural teeth.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
When cared for properly, dental implants can last a lifetime. However, their longevity depends on maintaining good oral hygiene, getting regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits like smoking or chewing on hard objects.
Implants are designed to be durable and resist wear and tear, providing a reliable solution for decades.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants have numerous advantages, including:
- Restored appearance and smile
- Improved chewing and speaking abilities
- Enhanced comfort and stability
- Preservation of jawbone and facial structure
- Long-lasting and durable
- No impact on surrounding healthy teeth
- Boosted self-confidence
