A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your confidence, speech, and ability to enjoy your favorite foods. At Dr. Tom Stamas DDS in Oconomowoc, dental implants offer a long-lasting solution that looks and functions like natural teeth.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace tooth roots. These posts provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth. Unlike dentures, implants don't slip or click when you talk, laugh, or eat.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants stand out from other tooth replacement options for several reasons:
Natural Appearance and Function
Implants look, feel, and function like your own teeth. They're designed to fuse with bone, making them permanent and stable.
Preservation of Jawbone
When you lose teeth, you also lose bone mass in your jaw. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that stimulates natural bone growth and prevents bone loss.
Long-Term Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, unlike bridges or dentures that may need replacement every 5-10 years.
No Impact on Adjacent Teeth
Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants don't require reducing other teeth. This means more of your natural teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health.
The Dental Implant Process at Dr. Tom Stamas DDS
The team at Dr. Tom Stamas DDS takes a comprehensive approach to dental implants:
Consultation and Evaluation: A thorough examination determines if you're a good candidate for dental implants.
Personalized Treatment Plan: Dr. Stamas creates a customized plan based on your specific needs.
Implant Placement: The titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone.
Healing Period: The implant integrates with your jawbone over several months.
Crown Placement: Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant.
Comfort During Your Procedure
For patients with dental anxiety, Dr. Stamas offers sedation dentistry options to ensure your comfort throughout the implant process. As a practice that specializes in both cosmetic dentistry and sedation dentistry, the team understands the importance of a relaxing, pain-free experience.
Is Everyone a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with good general and oral health are candidates for dental implants. Sufficient bone in the jaw is needed to support the implant, though bone grafting can sometimes address this issue. During your consultation, Dr. Stamas will evaluate factors like:
- Oral health condition
- Bone density
- Medical history
- Smoking habits
