Dental Implants Q&A

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a custom-made prosthetic tooth that looks and feels like your real tooth. Their durability makes them the ideal option for permanent tooth replacement.

As you age, your teeth age with you. Over time, teeth can weaken and break, making their removal necessary. Losing a permanent tooth can hurt your confidence, cause problems with your ability to eat comfortably, and even affect your speech.

Replacing your missing teeth with dental implants is the permanent solution to restoring your smile and fixing the problems that come with losing teeth.

Why are implants the best option for tooth replacement?

When it comes to replacing lost teeth, there are a handful of options, but none come close to the look, feel, and long-lasting strength of permanent dental implants.

Dr. Ramjit anchors the implants into your jawbone using a titanium post that prevents the implant from moving. The advantages of implants include:

• A more natural appearance

• More hygienic

• More comfortable

• Less impact on speech

Other replacement options have a life of 3-10 years, meaning you need to replace or repair them at some point. Because implants are anchored in your mouth, they’re designed to be your new, permanent tooth.

What is the implantation process?

Dr. Ramjit and the Smile Institute Miami staff pride themselves on providing you with the best possible dental care experience. That’s why they specialize in same-day extraction implants for single-tooth replacements, installing implants in-office, and performing same-day All-on-4® implants.

Dr. Ramjit begins by preparing your jaw for the titanium anchor. He then sets the anchor in the bone and places an abutment over it so it can receive your new implant. Once your customized implant is available, Dr. Ramjit installs it on the anchor, permanently restoring your smile.

The All-in-4 option replaces an entire row of teeth at once. To do this, Dr. Ramjit places four titanium anchors in your available bone, which avoids bone grafting, then attaches a full-arch prosthetic, replacing the whole row of teeth at one time.

So if you’re missing a permanent tooth, or several teeth, and you want the best replacement option available, call or book your dental implant appointment with Dr. Ramjit and the Smile Institute Miami.
