Regain a Strong Bite With Dental Implants in Indianapolis

When you pair replacement teeth with dental implants in Indianapolis, you get your fully functional smile back. Since your implants fuse with your jawbone, they give you a much more natural feel and function. You gain the freedom to eat more of the foods you love, while your customized teeth remain secure.

As a result, you can preserve your jawbone density and youthful facial appearance. You'll stop your surrounding teeth from moving out of alignment and regain your ability to enjoy crunchy and chewy foods. Plus, you'll gain a sturdy foundation for your customized teeth, restoring your full oral function for better health and overall well-being.

Doctor Chris Miller Talks about Dental Implants

Missing teeth are actually a really big problem because it will change your bite and it changes your bite then you'll start to feel more force on other teeth and then they'll start to either lose bony housing around them so you'll lose bone around them or you will find cracks or tooth wear on those neighboring teeth. They could also become spaces that are more difficult to clean so an implant brings you from having a missing tooth to actually something that is exactly like a tooth. I hesitate to say anything permanent in dentistry but is the closest thing to permanent we have in dentistry.

It's also, it sounds invasive but is the most minimally invasive that we could have. If I went for a bridge it means I had to put a crown on this tooth, a crown on this tooth and have a fake crown hanging out in between so I know that I'm doing more dentistry for the neighboring teeth to do a bridge and then I have a spot here that's really hard to clean under so I don't I don't like bridges there are time for bridges but implants really they're just a one-for-one solution. I lost a tooth I got a tooth.

We can do them to the point where people don't notice that it's an implant it looks like a tooth. Just like our crowns I have some people say I think you did an implant up here somewhere and they don't know which tooth it is which is really great. Implants I think the stats show that 35 million Americans are missing all of their teeth it's even more that are missing at least one tooth and that just makes a huge difference as far as your ability to eat there's one thing you will be doing for the rest of your life you will definitely be eating and the foods that keep us healthy the rest of our life are usually foods that we have to chew we have to crunch into those those are the healthier foods those are the ones that certainly will help you live longer they'll also help you live better so it's not about adding more years to your life it's adding more life to your years so to speak that's what I've heard from other people say I love that saying we're not looking just to get older we're looking to get older and healthier as we are older so we can still enjoy the things we do so implants are a great help to do that because you can chew the foods if you can chew the foods you'll actually have better nutrition and you'll have a better lifestyle

Reclaim Your Healthy Smile & Better Oral Function

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that function like your own tooth roots. Like tooth roots, they stimulate your jawbone so it remains healthy and strong. From an implant crown for replacing one tooth to implant dentures for an entire mouth of teeth, implants restore your smile.

If you are interested in implants, your dentist will begin with a thorough exam of your oral health and jawbone density.

If you've suffered bone loss, you may need a surgical procedure such as ridge augmentation, bone graft, or sinus lift to prepare your mouth for implants. Your dentist can perform these procedures in our office. These treatments are more likely to be necessary for more extensive implant placement, such as implant dentures.

From Implant Crowns to Implant Dentures, Find Your Options

Your implant options include:

  • Implant Crowns - You can replace a single missing tooth by anchoring a crown to an implant. It looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.
  • Implant Bridges - If you have several missing teeth in a row, a dental bridge can be anchored to implants. You can eat the foods you love and take care of your new teeth like normal.
  • Implant Dentures - You can secure your dentures to implants for greater stability. You won't have to deal with slippery adhesive any longer. Plus, your implants help keep your jaw strong and your facial structure intact.
  • All-on-4 Implants - Your dentist can secure an entire arch of teeth to fewer implants. It is a more streamlined process, so you gain a complete smile in less time.
  • Full-Mouth Reconstruction - Transform your entire smile and reclaim your quality of life with a comprehensive full-mouth reconstruction. Your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan that addresses all of your dental needs.

Experience Comfort & Precision During Your Implant Procedure

When considering dental implant treatment, it's natural to feel some apprehension or anxiety. At Renew Dental Arts, our dental team goes to great lengths to ensure your procedure is as comfortable, efficient, and stress-free. You'll benefit from our:

  • Advanced Technology - Your dentist will place your implants using computer-guided implant placement technology. Plus, 3-D cone beam imaging (CBCT) technology helps us plan your procedure to ensure successful results.
  • Anxiety-Relief Methods - You can also relax with cozy blankets, soft pillows, and stress balls in a private care room.
  • Compassionate Care - Your dental team gets to know you, so we can offer personalized treatment. You will appreciate our gentle and patient-centered approach that makes you feel completely comfortable.

Protect Your Investment by Caring for Your Implants

Once your dental implant treatment is complete, it's crucial to take care and ensure you protect your new smile. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Maintain Good Oral Hygiene - Brush your teeth, including your implant restorations, at least twice a day with a soft-bristle toothbrush. Be sure to floss daily and use an interdental brush or water flosser to clean hard-to-reach areas. If you've chosen removable implant dentures, instead of fixed teeth, you'll remove them for cleaning.
  • Schedule Dental Checkups - During your cleaning and exam, your dentist will keep an eye on the health of your smile. If they catch problems in advance, it can help you avoid implant failure and future complications.
  • Avoid Harmful Habits - Stop smoking or using tobacco products, as these habits can increase the risk of implant failure and other oral health problems. In addition, avoid chewing on hard objects, such as ice or pen caps, which can damage your new teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

Dental implants consist of small titanium posts placed in your jaw to act like natural tooth roots. They are an excellent solution for missing teeth since the implant merges with your jawbone, providing a sturdy base for replacement teeth. Additionally, implants help maintain jawbone health by promoting bone regeneration.

Are dental implants painful?

You won't feel pain when getting a dental implant since your jaw will be numbed, and dental sedation helps you stay relaxed throughout the process. After the procedure, you may need some pain relief for a day or two, but most patients only take regular painkillers. Most are ready to return to work the following day.

Can dental implants be removed?

While it is possible to remove dental implants, it's unlikely you will need to. After being placed in the jawbone, implants fuse with the bone and can last for many decades, sometimes for life. The teeth attached to these implants generally last about five to ten years.

I am SO glad I found Renew Dental Arts! My previous experience with the dentist was fine but nothing special. Dr Studebaker has amazing bedside manner, took extra care and time to diagnose my tooth issue, and carried out the procedure with professionalism, integrity, and kindness. I feel so well taken care of here. Also, I really appreciate the quantitative way of discussing ways to improve dental hygiene. Instead of vague "brush and floss!" the techs use special gel to show you where plaque builds up and they actually treat the gingivitis. I'm in my 30s and feel like I actually understand how to take care of my teeth for the first time thanks to Renew Dental Arts.
