Dental Implants in Hartselle & Decatur

Restore Your Smile with Long-Lasting Dental Implants

At Sittason Family Dentistry, we understand the importance of a complete, healthy smile. If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a durable, natural-looking solution that can restore your smile and improve your oral health. Our experienced team, located in Hartselle and Decatur, specializes in dental implant procedures, ensuring that you receive the highest quality care every step of the way.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as a sturdy foundation for artificial teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, offering you both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Benefits of Dental Implants:

• Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a confident smile.
• Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term investment in your oral health.
• Improved Oral Function: Implants restore the full function of your teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and chew comfortably.
• Bone Health: By replacing missing tooth roots, implants stimulate bone growth and prevent the bone loss that occurs after tooth loss.

Our Dental Implant Process

At Sittason Family Dentistry, we follow a detailed, step-by-step process to ensure the success and longevity of your dental implants:

1. Consultation and Evaluation: During your initial visit, we will assess your oral health and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. We use advanced imaging, such as digital x-rays and 3D CT scanning, to evaluate your bone structure and plan the placement of your implants.
2. Surgical Placement: Once your treatment plan is finalized, we will surgically place the implant posts into your jawbone. The healing process, called osseointegration, allows the implants to fuse with the bone, creating a strong, stable base for the restoration.
3. Restoration: After the healing period, we will attach the final restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, to the implant. This restoration is custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth for a seamless result.
4. Follow-Up Care: We will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure the success of your implants and monitor your oral health.

Who Is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults who are missing teeth are good candidates for dental implants. To be eligible, you need to have healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implant posts. In cases where bone loss has occurred, we may recommend bone grafting procedures to create a solid foundation for the implants.

If you are unsure whether dental implants are right for you, we encourage you to schedule a consultation at our Hartselle or Decatur office. Our experienced team will help you explore your options and create a personalized treatment plan.

Dental Implants vs. Other Tooth Replacement Options

While dental implants are a popular choice for tooth replacement, other options, such as dental bridges and dentures, may also be suitable for certain patients. Implants are often preferred because of their durability, natural appearance, and ability to preserve bone health. Our team will work with you to determine the best solution based on your needs and goals.
