Understanding Tooth Loss
- Periodontal Disease: The leading cause of tooth loss, resulting from infections and inflammation of the gums and bones that support teeth.
- Tooth Decay and Injury: Untreated cavities or physical trauma can also lead to tooth loss.
- Age-Related Factors: With age, teeth can wear down or become more vulnerable to loss due to other health conditions.
The Impact of Tooth Loss
- Functional Issues: Difficulty in chewing and speaking clearly.
- Aesthetic Concerns: Gaps in your smile can affect your confidence and appearance.
- Oral Health Complications: Adjacent teeth may shift, leading to bite issues and further tooth loss.
Dental Implant Options at Darley Dental Care
- Single Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing individual missing teeth, preserving your natural tooth spacing and jawbone health.
- Implant Dentures: A more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures, ideal for those missing several or all teeth.
The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are the most effective and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Over time, these implants fuse with the bone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth.Here is what you can expect during the implant treatment process:

Frequently asked questions
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are a durable and long-term solution for tooth replacement.
Are dental implants painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, and any post-operative pain can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Can anyone get dental implants?
Most adults in good general and oral health are candidates for dental implants. Dr. Darley will assess your specific situation to ensure implants are right for you.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth – regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost varies depending on the number of implants and the complexity of the case. We offer financing options to make dental implants accessible to our patients.
How long does the entire dental implant process take?
The process can vary, typically ranging from 3 to 9 months. This includes the initial consultation, implant placement, healing period, and final crown or denture placement.
Will dental implants look like my natural teeth?
Absolutely! Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. The crown or denture that is placed on top of the implant is custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth.
Is there an age limit for getting dental implants?
There is no upper age limit for dental implants as long as you are in good overall health. They are an excellent option for adults of all ages who have lost teeth.
What are the success rates for dental implants?
Dental implants have a high success rate, typically over 95%. Success depends on good oral hygiene, overall health, and proper implant maintenance.
Are there alternatives to dental implants?
Yes, alternatives include bridges and traditional dentures. However, implants are often preferred due to their stability, longevity, and bone preservation benefits.
