The best dental implants are strong, long lasting and natural looking. The actual implant, which is the post that replaces the root of a missing tooth, is made of titanium, or a durable titanium alloy.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plays a role in overseeing and approving the quality of dental implants. The FDA has reviewed studies that show 90 to 100 percent success rate after five years of follow-up.
Several companies manufacture dental implants to high standards. Our office uses dental implants made by Straumann, Intra-Lock, Nobel Biocare and Southern Implants to ensure the highest quality possible. There are some areas of the country where Straumann is considered best and other parts of the country where Zimmer is considered best. Some doctors just have better success with one type or another.
The difference between implants is often simply that the less expensive implants heal in 3 months and higher quality implants heal in 2 months.
Dental Implants are made in different lengths and widths. The best dental implant is the one that works best for you, and put in place by a Prosthodontist who has expertise and experience.
How to Get the Best Dental Implant
Placing a dental implant is a process that takes a high degree of technical skill and esthetic ability. To understand the process, check out Dental Implant 101 on Dr. Stone’s Blog.
A Prosthodontist, like Dr. Stone, is a dentist with advanced training in tooth replacement and restoration, and is expert in the art and science of Dental Implants.
Dr. Stone begins with an assessment, to make sure that you are a good candidate for dental implants. During the initial meeting you have an opportunity to have all your questions answered and to make sure that you understand everything that’s involved in getting the best possible outcome.
The best dental implant is not only strong, but looks so good that only you know that you have a dental implant. Dr. Stone has an Onsite Laboratory, which saves time and cost. Our lab is staffed with technicians who work closely with Dr. Stone to create a perfect implant.
Follow-up care is an important part of the dental implant process. Dr. Stone makes sure that every patient has good follow-up care to ensure great results.
I am happy to recommend Dr. Stone. He is the best dentist of many I have endured. He is honest, wise, charming, his advice is always thoughtful and right. My implants are wonderful!”
