What is titanium dental implants, and why are they a great option for tooth replacement?
Titanium dental implants are durable, biocompatible tooth replacements designed to mimic the look and function of natural teeth. They are made up of a tiny titanium post that is inserted into the mandible to act as an artificial root for a denture, bridge, or crown. Titanium is highly compatible with bone, allowing the implant to fuse securely, creating a stable foundation. Mid-Valley Dental Care offers traditional implants and Teeth Xpress for a functional smile.
How do titanium implants compare to other tooth replacement options?
Titanium dental implants provide unmatched stability, longevity, and a natural appearance compared to dentures or bridges. Unlike removable dentures, implants permanently integrate with the jawbone, preventing bone loss and facial sagging. Compared to bridges, implants don’t require altering adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural smile. Whether you choose traditional implants or TeethXpress, you’ll enjoy a secure and natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
What is TeethXpress, and how does it differ from traditional dental implants?
TeethXpress is a full-arch tooth replacement solution that allows patients to receive new teeth in just one day. Unlike traditional implants, which may require several months of healing before placing the final restoration, TeethXpress uses strategically placed implants to support a non-removable prosthetic. This treatment is ideal for patients needing full-mouth restoration, providing a stable smile without traditional dentures.
Will my dental implants look and feel natural?
Yes! At Mid-Valley Dental Care, we customize every implant restoration to match your teeth’ color, shape, and translucency. Titanium implants integrate with the jawbone like tooth roots, giving you a strong, secure foundation. Whether you receive a single implant, a full arch with TeethXpress, or an implant-supported bridge, your new teeth will look, feel, and function like natural teeth—allowing you to smile, eat, and speak confidently.
How long do titanium dental implants last?
Titanium implants are designed to be a lifelong solution with proper care. The implant post can last a lifetime, while the attached crown or bridge may need replacement after ten to fifteen years due to normal wear. Maintaining good oral hygiene, regular checkups, and a healthy lifestyle ensures that your implants remain strong and natural-looking for decades. TeethXpress patients also benefit from easy maintenance.
Are titanium dental implants safe and biocompatible?
Yes, titanium is one of modern dentistry’s safest and most biocompatible materials. It is resistant to corrosion and non-toxic and integrates seamlessly with bone through osseointegration. This allows the implant to become a permanent part of your jaw, providing unparalleled stability. At Mid-Valley Dental Care, we use high-quality implants for a long-lasting solution.
Am I a good candidate for traditional implants or TeethXpress?
Most patients with missing teeth and good oral health are candidates for implants. Ideal candidates have sufficient jawbone density to support the implant, though bone grafting may be an option for those with bone loss. TeethXpress is an excellent choice for full-arch restoration, providing a secure alternative to traditional dentures. At Mid-Valley Dental Care, we will evaluate your oral health and goals to determine which implant solution is best for you.
