Benefits
Advantages of Dental Implants
Dental implants at Premier Dentistry in Gresham offer many benefits, including advantages in form and function.
-
Designed to Last a Lifetime: Dental implants offer strength and stability comparable to natural teeth. Regular upkeep, including brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups, can contribute to the longevity of your implants.
-
A Healthier Smile: Tooth loss leads to a lack of stimulation in the jawbone, resulting in facial changes. Dental implants replace this stimulation, preserving the integrity of your jawbone and maintaining your facial appearance.
-
Sustainable lifestyle habits: Unlike traditional dentures and bridges that may compromise healthy teeth, implants can be placed without damaging adjacent teeth. This makes them the ideal choice for preserving your overall oral health.
Step 1
1. Your Consultation Visit
Your journey begins with a friendly consultation with Dr. Kevin Shim. We’ll take a close look at your oral health using advanced imaging, like CBCT scans, and discuss your goals. Dr. Shim will create a tailored treatment plan to ensure the best possible outcome and check for any gum health concerns that might need attention.
Step 2
2. Preparing Your Smile
If you have unhealthy teeth that need to be removed, Dr. Shim will handle extractions with care, often using gentle IV sedation for your comfort. In some cases, bone grafting may be recommended to create a strong foundation for your implants. Healthy gums are key to successful implants. If gum disease is present, Dr. Shim will provide targeted treatment to get your smile ready for the next step.
Step 3
3. Placing Your Implants
Implant placement is a straightforward procedure, typically done with IV sedation to keep you relaxed. Dr. Shim will position the implants precisely, allowing them to heal and integrate with your jawbone over about three months for lasting stability.
Step 4
4. Completing Your Smile
Once healed, you’ll visit your general dentist to have a custom abutment and crown placed on your implant. If you receive an immediate implant, you may leave our office with a temporary tooth the same day, with the permanent restoration added later.
