Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. They replace your tooth roots with screw-like metal posts. This durability enables them to be permanent with proper care. A crown is attached to the dental implant screw to act as a tooth. The artificial tooth (crown) looks like a tooth in terms of functionality and aesthetics.
Dental implants are a great idea if you’re missing teeth because you can resume regular oral health routines and enjoy a variety in your diet again.

To be a candidate for dental implants as a senior, you need to meet a few basic requirements.
If you meet these requirements, you’ll most likely qualify for dental implants:
Dental implants are usually the best alternative to other teeth replacement options such as bridgework or dentures. Dentures or bridgework do not provide the desired function and aesthetic qualities that a dental implant can.
Dental implants are ideal when there are no surrounding teeth or natural roots to allow for bridgework. Implants are also a more permanent tooth replacement solution. After you receive your dental implants, you can go about your normal routine, lifestyle, and diet as if you have natural, healthy teeth!
There are many benefits to having dental implants, such as regaining your confidence in laughing, eating, and talking. If you have decided to get dental implants, you can live and feel like you used to when you had natural teeth.
Here are a few benefits of dental implants for seniors:
There are a few steps involved in placing dental implants for seniors here at our practice in Amarillo, TX. Dr. Damon will perform the following to get your dental implants inserted:
The good news is, yes, dental implants can be done in one day by Dr. Damon! They can be placed in a single procedure from 30 minutes to three hours, depending on how many teeth need to be implanted. This procedure will be the placement of your temporaries.
During your dental implant procedure, these fully functioning temporary teeth will be placed for about three to six months while your jawbone heals. You need to come back thereafter for your permanent implants to be placed.
Dr. Damon will be able to advise you on dental implant alternatives if you don’t qualify for them.
Dental implant alternatives are:
The dental implant procedure is not painful; we’ve got you covered! You will receive anesthetic options for your surgery, and we’ll make sure you’re as comfortable as possible. Discomfort after surgery can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication like Ibuprofen and Tylenol®.
Dental implants cost between $200 and $6,000 for a single tooth implant.
For full mouth implants at a reputable place, expect to pay over 40,000 or more depending on your situation. This cost can vary immensely from patient to patient.
If you suffer from bone loss, you can expect to spend $200 to $3,000 on a bone grafting procedure.
