What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. The implant consists of a titanium post, which is inserted into the jawbone and serves as the foundation for the replacement tooth. An abutment is then attached to the post, acting as a connector between the implant and the final restoration. The restoration is the custom-made artificial tooth, bridge, or denture secured to the abutment, completing the restoration and mimicking the appearance and function of your natural tooth.

Our Dental Implant Options

Our dentist has the skill to provide various dental implant options to find the treatment that suits your needs. We perform each procedure with quality and care to maximize the benefits of your new implant. Our dental implant options include:

• Crowns: For replacing a single missing tooth, a dental implant can support a custom-made crown. This option restores your tooth's function and appearance, providing a natural look and feel.
• Bridges: Our implants can also support a bridge to replace multiple adjacent missing teeth. This involves placing implants to anchor a bridge that spans the gap, offering a stable and durable solution.
• Partial Dentures: Implants can be used to support partial dentures, enhancing the stability and comfort of your denture compared to traditional removable options.
• All-on-4: This advanced treatment involves placing four strategically positioned implants in your jaw to support a full arch of artificial teeth. This technique enhances healing time due to the limited number of implants placed. Our dentist will determine if this treatment is right for you.

Dental Implant Pretreatments

You may require pretreatments if your gums or jawbone are not healthy enough to support a dental implant. These pretreatments are designed to prepare your mouth for successful implant placement and long-term durability, allowing your new implants to function effectively and enhance your smile. Pretreatments our dentist performs include:

• Extractions: If a damaged or decayed tooth remains in the area where an implant will be placed, it must be extracted to make way for the new implant. We perform extractions with care to prepare the site for optimal healing and future implant placement.
• Bone Grafts: Adequate bone density is essential for the success of dental implants. A bone graft may be needed if you have insufficient bone due to resorption, gum disease, or other factors. This procedure involves adding bone material into your jawbone to support the implant and provide a secure fit.
• Sinus Lifts: A sinus lift may be required for implants in the upper jaw, especially in the back regions, if your sinus cavity is too close to the jawbone. This procedure involves elevating your sinus membrane and placing bone graft material to create a stable foundation for your implant.

CBCT Scanner

In our office, we leverage advanced technology to enhance the precision and success of your dental implant treatment. One of the key tools we use is the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner. This cutting-edge imaging technology provides a comprehensive three-dimensional view of your oral structures, including the jawbone, surrounding tissues, and anatomical features. By capturing detailed images, the CBCT scanner allows us to accurately evaluate the quality and quantity of your bone, which is crucial for effective implant planning and placement.

The detailed imaging provided by the CBCT scanner helps us precisely plan the location and angle of the implants, minimizing risks and improving the fit of the restoration. This advanced technology enables us to tailor the implant size and type to your unique anatomy, contributing to a more stable and functional outcome. By incorporating CBCT imaging into our practice, we enhance the accuracy of the implant procedure and strive for a successful and comfortable restoration experience.
