What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone. They act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth like crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Why are Implants So Successful?

Unlike other types of dental restorations, dental implants are permanently supported by your bone, similar to natural teeth. Because bone structures fuse with the surface of the implant’s biocompatible design, the restoration becomes a permanent part of your new smile. Implants have the highest success rate of any modern dental restoration.

Dental Implant Procedure: What to Expect

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our experienced dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your smile goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. This may involve X-rays or a CT scan to evaluate your jawbone. We’ll then create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Implant Placement

During this phase, a small titanium post is surgically placed into your jawbone. The procedure is typically performed with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort. A healing period of several months follows, allowing the implant to fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration.

Healing Period

After the implant is placed, a crucial healing period begins. This phase, called osseointegration, allows the implant to fuse with the surrounding bone tissue, creating a strong and stable foundation for your new teeth. During this time, your jawbone grows around the implant, securing it in place and ensuring its long-term success.

Restoration Attachment

Once the implant has fully integrated, we’ll attach an abutment to the post. This serves as a connector for your custom-made restoration (crown, bridge, or denture). Your restoration will be meticulously crafted to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, completing your smile and restoring full functionality.

Am I A Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a fantastic option for many people who have lost teeth. Here’s what you should know:

  • Overall Health: Good general health is important for healing and successful implant integration.
  • Sufficient Jawbone: Adequate jawbone density is necessary to support the implant.
  • Healthy Gums: Healthy gums are crucial for successful implant placement and long-term health.

Common Types of Dental Implant Treatment

Single-Tooth Replacement

Single-Tooth Replacement

Single-tooth implants are perfect for replacing one missing tooth. A single titanium post is placed in the bone, topped with a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. This option preserves the integrity of adjacent teeth and prevents bone loss.
Multi-Tooth Implant Bridges

Multi-Tooth Implant Bridges

Instead of wearing a partial denture or traditional tooth-supported bridge, a fixed bridge can be installed on top of a pair of dental implants. Implant bridges are ideal for 3-4 missing teeth.
Full Arch All-on-4 Implants

All-on-4 Implants

The All-on-4 method is an innovative solution for patients who need to replace an entire arch of teeth. This technique uses four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. All-on-4 implants offer a permanent, non-removable alternative to dentures, giving you a natural-looking and fully functional smile.
Implant Supported Dentures (Overdentures)

Implant Supported Dentures

Sometimes called “snap-on” or “clip-in” dentures, overdentures are removable but use 2-4 implants for added reinforcement throughout the day. No messy pastes or adhesives are needed.

Proper care is essential to maintain the longevity and health of your dental implants. Here are some tips to keep your implants in great condition:
