Speaks About Dental Implants: Do They Hurt?

Change Your Life with Long-Lasting Dental Implants

If you have one or more missing teeth, you may be struggling to bite and chew or feel embarrassed to talk, laugh and socialize. Missing most or all your teeth can result in changes in your facial appearance, a decline in your health, and increased discomfort and/or self-consciousness. No matter how many teeth you are missing, dental implants are the “gold standard” solution. These permanent tooth replacements restore your oral health, smile esthetics and dental function, and can do so for decades! Our team at Tharp, Klaus, & Kelly Dental Clinic is experienced in providing dental implants in Flowood, MS, and can help you achieve a new smile and quality of life with this permanent solution.

What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are made up of three components—a post, an abutment, and a restoration—that mimic the function of natural teeth. Secured in your jawbone, dental implants are one of the most versatile tooth replacements available, able to replace any number of missing teeth. This permanent solution requires the precision of a skilled implant dentist and advanced surgical technology to optimize the outcomes of your treatment and its long-term success. Our team routinely provides dental implant treatment across a variety of cases, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies and high-quality materials for the best results. With our expertise, we can help you experience a life of health, function and confidence with dental implants in Flowood, MS!

Choose Between Several Implant Options

Dental implants can support a single dental crown or a dental bridge to replace one or more missing teeth in a row. Dental implants can also be used to increase the stability of a modified denture, which snaps securely to the implants placed in the jawbone. For patients with many or all missing teeth, dental implants can permanently support a full, fixed bridge of artificial teeth. This solution makes it possible to eat any type of food with strong lifelike teeth. In all cases, dental implants improve your ability to eat comfortably, feel confident in a complete smile, and live an overall healthier and better quality of life.

In many cases, we’re able to attach a temporary tooth or set of teeth at this same appointment.

The Groundbreaking Implant Process

Your dental implant treatment at Tharp, Klaus, & Kelly Dental Clinic is personalized to your specific oral health needs and smile goals. You’ll first complete a consultation with our implant dentist in Flowood, MS where we’ll discuss your dental and medical history, take digital X-rays, and create a custom treatment plan. Next, you’ll undergo surgery, which may involve tooth extractions and bone grafting along with dental implant placement. We use fully guided techniques for all our surgeries to ensure an efficient procedure, with exact and predictable results. You’ll be resting comfortably under sedation and remain pain-free during your surgery. In many cases, we’re able to attach a temporary tooth or set of teeth at this same appointment. A check-up appointment is scheduled 10-14 days after to remove your sutures and adjust any prosthesis as needed. As your mouth heals over the next three or more months, you’ll be able to eat comfortably and enjoy restored smile esthetics until you receive your permanent, custom-made dental implant restoration. After your surgery, proper care and maintenance of your implants and prosthesis are necessary to ensure they last you for decades to come!

Why Should You Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants provide numerous advantages over other tooth replacement options. Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not require healthy teeth to be present to support the restoration. Dental implants only need proper jawbone density to remain secure and strong, where they will in turn provide stimulation to keep the bone healthy. Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanently secured in your jawbone and act like artificial tooth roots (implant posts). They are permanently fixed and stable enough to restore over 99% of natural biting and chewing power. For this reason, implants are one of the preferred solutions and virtually all patients who come to Tharp, Klaus, & Kelly Dental Clinic are candidates for dental implants.
