Dental implants replace missing teeth by providing stable support for removable partial or complete dentures. Implants also provide fixed support and stability for crowns and bridges. The teeth attached to the implants above the gum line, look and feel natural.
Why Should I Get Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the most successful solution for replacing missing teeth. With ever-improving advances in technologies and techniques, oral surgeons see as high as a 97% success rate. Dental implants are proving, again and again, to be a reliable solution to restore smiles, regain the ability to chew and enjoy food, prevent the loss of bone, and support surrounding teeth.
If you require or are thinking about getting dental implants you must meet the following conditions:
- An acceptable level of general health.
- Have healthy gums. In cases periodontal disease in the area to be treated, this should be taken care of before starting the procedure.
- A healthy jaw bone to fix the implants firmly into the jaw. A bone graft may be required if your jaw does not have a sufficient amount of bone density.
- Taking care of your teeth and gums both before and after the intervention. Oral hygiene and regular dental appointments ensure the longevity of the dental implant.
What to Expect from
Dental Implants
Most people about to undergo dental implant surgery want to know how long it will take to recover. Recovery time can be estimated by the number of teeth being replaced if there is going to be bone grafting, jaw bone health, and each person’s individual healing time. Most patients are back to their daily lives within 24 to 48 hours.
The Dentist will usually suggest rest, soft foods, and brushing softly for at least 6 days. It’s also important to avoid hot food or drinks right after the procedure due to sedation levels preventing you from sensing the heat. Pain medication may also be prescribed depending on the severity of the surgery. Our goal is to achieve a beautiful smile while simultaneously keeping you as comfortable as possible throughout the process.

Why Dental Implants are the Best Option to Replace Teeth
Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. That is why they are so popular for long-term tooth replacement options. Dental implants can greatly improve your quality of life, confidence, and physical health. Here are some reasons why dental implants are the best option to replace teeth.

Professionally installed and carefully planned dental implants have a 98% success rate. As dental implant technology improves those rates only get better. And, you can rest assured that you are in highly qualified and professional hands here at The Dentist n El Paso, TX.
Chew Comfortably
Because dental implants are anchored to the jaw bone, they have a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or dentures. The implants will bond to the bone and help prevent any bone loss in the future. With this added stability, they will allow you to chew your food more comfortably and speak more clearly.
Long Lasting
Just like natural teeth dental implants and dentures need to be cared for and maintained properly. Brushing twice daily will help you maintain good oral health and also allow your dentures to last longer.

Tips for Caring for Your New Dental Implant
Have you recently received a dental implant or multiple implants for partial or full dentures? If so then you are among over 3 million Americans with dental implants and that number is growing increasingly every year.
To ensure the longevity of an implant, a few actions will be necessary to keep it clean and free of destructive bacteria and plaque, which can cause infection in the tissues around the implant and lead to dental implant failure. Implants themselves will not decay because they are made of titanium, but the supporting bone and gum structure of your jaw and face must be carefully maintained to protect your oral health.
Brush & Floss Daily
Just like with your natural teeth, should brush and floss around your dental implant daily to ensure it will last throughout the years. With proper care and maintenance, you can avoid problems with oral diseases that could affect your implant’s longevity. Healthy gums and bones will ensure your implant will last for the rest of your life.
Use a Soft Nylon Brush
There have been a lot of studies done on the best type of toothbrush to use for your new dental implants and this research demonstrates that you can effectively clean around your implants using a manual or an electric toothbrush. Whatever kind of toothbrush you use, it’s important to find one with soft or extra-soft bristles.
A nylon toothbrush will come with bristles that are pliable and gentle on your dental implants. A Proxabrush can also be used to clean the hard-to-reach areas around your dental implants. You’ll also want to stay away from mouthwashes that contain alcohol because this causes dry mouth which interferes with your body’s natural ability to fend off oral infection.
Avoid Sticky or Hard Foods
Hard or sticky foods such as hard candy, gummies, potato chips, and tortilla chips, should be avoided. Sometimes, crunching into these foods causes damage to the prosthesis or could pull out a crown.
Schedule Regular Dental Visits
Dental implants can greatly improve your smile and quality of life. However, they’re not a cure for all dental hygiene issues that may occur in the future. Depending on your situation and oral health, you should plan regularly scheduled visits to our dental office at least twice per year. With proper care and regular visits to the dentist, your dental implants will be able to last a lifetime.
