What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots designed to mimic the function and appearance of your natural teeth. The process begins with placing a post into the jawbone, which integrates with your bone over time. Once the implant is securely in place, an abutment is attached to connect the implant to the final restoration. The restoration, the visible crown, bridge, or denture, is custom-made to fit over the abutment and replicate the look and function of your original tooth. Together, these components provide a durable and natural-looking replacement that restores your smile's aesthetics and functionality.
Our Pretreatments
If our dentist determines that your gums and jawbone are not healthy enough to support a tooth implant, you may need pretreatments. We offer a variety of pretreatments with precision and care to promote a successful dental implant procedure. Our pretreatments include:
- Bone Grafts and Tissue Grafts: Bone grafts involve placing additional bone material into the jawbone so it is strong enough to support an implant. Tissue grafts involve transplanting gum tissue to cover and protect areas around the implant site, promoting better healing and support.
- Laser Gum Therapy: This procedure uses a specialized laser to precisely remove diseased gum tissue and bacteria, reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing. It helps treat gum disease and prepares the gums for a dental implant.
- Extractions: While we always aim to preserve your natural teeth, we may need to perform an extraction if a tooth is severely damaged or decayed. This creates the necessary space for placing a dental implant and allows the new implant to integrate properly.
Our Tooth Implant Options
Our dentist recognizes dental implants as a versatile and effective solution to enhancing your smile. We offer various dental implant options to give you the solution that best aligns with your goals and needs. Our tooth implant options include:
- Crowns: Custom-designed in our office, crowns are meticulously crafted to restore a single damaged tooth, providing functional durability and aesthetic appeal.
- Bridges: Securely anchored by implants, our bridges offer a stable and lasting solution for replacing two or more missing teeth, seamlessly filling gaps, and enhancing your smile.
- Dentures: Custom-made and anchored by dental implants, our dentures provide superior stability and comfort. Designed to improve chewing efficiency and restore natural aesthetics, they help you confidently smile.
- All-on-4: Using four strategically placed implants, All-on-4 dental implants support a full arch of teeth. This solution enhances healing due to only four implants being used. Our dentist will determine if this is the correct solution for you.
Dental Implant Process
Our dental implant process begins with a comprehensive consultation with our dentist, where we discuss your smile goals, needs, and expectations to create a personalized treatment plan. If your jawbone or gums are not healthy enough to support an implant, we will perform the necessary pretreatments and allow adequate time for healing before proceeding with the implant procedure. Once your oral health is in optimal condition, we will surgically place the implant post into your jaw.
After the implant post has integrated with your jawbone, you will return to our office for the placement of your custom restoration. Our in-house lab designs custom abutments and restorations using durable zirconia, providing a long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing result. We are dedicated to giving you a beautiful smile you'll be proud to share.
