What Are Dental Implants?

Despite misconceptions, dental implants are actually replacements for the roots of your teeth. The implant is surgically positioned into your jawbone in order to secure crowns, dentures, or bridgework. Once the metal post is in place, the dentist can mount the artificial replacement.

A dental implant is made of titanium, a lightweight metal that your body won’t naturally reject. Through osseointegration, the titanium fuses to and ultimately stabilizes the jawbone. As a result, the dental implant doesn’t just allow you to replace lost teeth, it also supports your facial skeleton and your oral soft tissues. This allows you to speak, smile, and even eat without any complications.

After your surgery, it’s important to follow these steps to avoid complications:

  • Do not disturb the surgical area
  • Brush your teeth gently
  • Rinse your mouth with salt water 2-3 times a day
  • Apply ice as necessary

Care & Maintenance of Implants

Dental implants do require some maintenance to ensure your optimal oral health. The best way to protect your new smile is to practice regular brushing and flossing. It’s also necessary to visit your dentist habitually to have your implants examined and cleaned.

Use these tools to clean your artificial teeth at home:

  • Soft-bristled tooth brush
  • Floss
  • Oral irrigators
  • Stimulators

It’s important to note that implant crowns and artificial tooth replacements are both removable and replaceable. So, if wear or damage requires a replacement, your dentist can complete the procedure without impacting the dental implant.

    “Couldn’t ask for a better dentist and staff”
    I live in the neighborhood and decided to stop by and try out a new dentist. So glad that I did. The doctor and her staff are very nice and professional. The office is super clean and you even get a massage chair while they are working on your teeth. I have recommended her to others and will continue too.

    “Great Dentist!!!! Great staff!!!!”
    Had my wisdom tooth remove, and I had really bad anxiety. Dr.Hasheem and her staff made me feel extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend her.

    “Great staff and dentist!”
    We had our first visit at Shaenfield Family Dental for my three kids’ cleanings. They made all of the kids feel comfortable and were very down to Earth. They did very 4 year old friendly x-rays and praised all the kids for being helpful and cooperative. Dr. Hasheem recommended us to a pediatric oral surgeon down the street for my six year old who needs more work involving anesthesia. We’ll definitely be routine clients!

    “AWESOME!!!!”
    I went in for a simple extraction, ended up with three. Had the whole staff working through lunch, they never complained once. They treated me so well. The work they did would have been referred out by any other dentist. They could have easily done the same. This place is awesome!!!! Dr. Hasheem was a delight as well as her techs.
