Dental Implants Q&A

How do dental implants work?

Dental implants are small posts made from biocompatible titanium or ceramic and replace your missing teeth by functioning as artificial tooth roots. They are embedded into your jaw during a surgical procedure.

Since your implants are biocompatible, they can fuse with your jaw’s bone tissue. After they’ve linked together, the team can fit them with a beautiful restoration, like a bridge, crown, or dentures.

The team at Access Dental fits your implant with restoration, and it becomes functionally identical to a natural tooth. It improves both the appearance and the proper functioning of your mouth.

Why should I replace missing teeth with dental implants?

Your mouth functions best when all its parts work together in harmony. Replacing your missing teeth with dental implants benefits your smile in many ways, like:

Improving your chewing ability
Keeping the rest of your teeth in alignment
Evenly distributing the force in your bite
Improving your ability to speak properly
Maintaining the shape of your face

Replacing missing teeth enhances your appearance and self-esteem by giving you a full and healthy-looking smile.

What makes dental implants popular?

Other tooth-replacement technology, like dentures or bridges, does an exquisite job of filling in the empty spaces in your smile and giving you a full set of functional teeth. But neither dentures nor bridges can mimic your tooth’s natural structure entirely as dental implants do.

Since dental implants provide you with an artificial tooth root that biologically fuses to the bone tissue in your jaw, they have a few particular advantages for your smile and oral health.

Unlike bridges, you don’t have to reduce neighboring teeth to replace your tooth. This allows you to keep more of the natural structures of your smile intact and is better for your oral health.

Dental implants also provide your jaw bone with healthy stimulation. When your bone tissue isn’t properly stimulated, the bone can deteriorate (resorption).

Resorption can happen when patients have been wearing dentures for an extended period of time because dentures don’t stimulate their jaw bone. Instead, dentures sit on top of their gums. Implants, on the other hand, are connected to bone tissue and help to stave off bone loss.

Testimonials

“I've had a lot of bad experiences with dentists in the past. Even unpleasant procedures here were incredibly pleasant because of the staff and how mindful they are of patients and their potential discomfort with frequent checks to make sure you're still doing alright.
One of my first appointments was a root canal for a tooth that started decaying way back before covid hit and I was actually smiling on the way out because of just how nice it was in comparison to others I've been to. All of the employees are incredibly polite and the office has a really nice welcoming feel to it.”
Tabby B.

“The front desk was awesome they were caring. They actually cared. Dr Kim was on point and was very professional. He handled my teeth with care with his partner named Nelly. They both worked as a team actually they all do for that I'm giving them the five star. And also they take care of your teeth!!!”
Augustus N.

“I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Kim. He is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind. Recently, I had to undergo a procedure that required a lot of patience and a gentle bedside manner, and Dr. Kim guided me through it with incredible skill and empathy. He made me feel comfortable and reassured every step of the way, and I can’t imagine going to anyone else. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a caring and professional dentist who truly puts his patients first.”
