Missing Teeth Are More Than Just an Aesthetic Issue
You may think that the gaps in your smile caused by damaged or missing teeth are just a simple inconvenience to your appearance. However, those disturbing little spaces can collect food-particles, bacteria, and plaque which is menacing to your oral health.
Your chances of tooth decay and gum disease will increase and can further result in additional tooth loss. Having missing teeth can also affect your wellbeing as it has been found to correlate with reduced self-confidence and insecurities. Dental implants can restore both your smile and your self-esteem.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants offer numerous benefits for patients suffering from tooth loss. Known to be one of the most successful restorative treatments, dental implants are a solution that will improve your smile, overall health, and wellbeing. Dr. Sayed offers various implant solutions for each unique individual and their specific needs.
Our patients come to Pristine Periodontics and Implants for dental implants because they’re:
- Long-lasting and durable
- Blend in with your natural smile
- They function just like your natural teeth
- Protect your jawbone
What Is the Dental Implant Process?
The dental implant process takes place over multiple appointments spread across several months to allow proper healing between each step. Dr. Sayed is committed to giving you the best possible results with your dental implants so you can have long-lasting, strong results. The placement of the three pieces of your implants gives them a strong and sturdy foundation, ensuring precision and accuracy when inserted.
Dental Implant Candidacy
While dental implants can provide a natural look and fully functional smile, not everyone will immediately qualify for the procedure. At your initial consultation with Dr. Sayed, he’ll do a brief oral exam to see if you have a healthy mouth. If you don’t immediately qualify for our tooth replacements, we can create a treatment plan that will provide your implants with the best chance for long-term success.
Supplemental Procedures
An option for patients who aren’t initially capable of receiving dental implants may be a preliminary procedure such as bone or tissue grafting. Supplemental procedures are a great option for those who need dental implants but may need stronger support to receive them. By improving your oral health through prior treatments, Dr. Sayed can ensure the long-term success of your implants.
Finding A Dental Implant Provider
Visiting a qualified dental implant provider will help ease your mind and make sure your implants are placed correctly. Dr. Sayed has the experience and knowledge to provide the best dental implant procedures possible, giving you a stunning new smile. In addition to receiving training beyond dental school, he is always prepared to deal with any complications that could potentially arise during your procedure.
Sedation Dentistry for Dental Implants
Patients who come in afraid to receive treatment usually result in not receiving any dental care at all. Here at Pristine Periodontics and Implants in Birmingham, we want every patient to feel comfortable and safe throughout their dental implant process. Dr. Sayed will bring in a certified anesthesiologist to administer IV sedatives for patients with a dental phobia or fear. Your worries will be simply soothed throughout the entire procedure.

To help make implants accessible to all patients, Dr. Sayed features a variety of financing options.
The best way to get an exact estimate is to schedule your no-obligation consultation with Dr. Sayed, where he’ll create your customized treatment plan and break down how much your procedure will cost.
How long do dental implants last?
Designed with the patient in mind, dental implants can last a lifetime when properly cared for. Best of all, your implants are as easy to care for as your natural teeth. Just make sure to maintain an oral hygiene routine that consists of brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash. In addition to at-home care, we recommend visiting Dr. Sayed for biannual appointments so he can make sure both your restoration and oral health are in great condition.
