Dental implants, including titanium and porcelain options, are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. For those who have lost teeth, implants allow them to eat virtually anything and smile with confidence, knowing their teeth appear natural and their facial contours are preserved.
Titanium and Porcelain implants are small posts placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium or porcelain, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Porcelain implants, on the other hand, offer an alternative for those seeking a metal-free option. They are biocompatible and provide a natural appearance while also integrating well with the jawbone.
Both types of implants help preserve facial structure by preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing, ensuring long-term stability and aesthetics.
If, like many others, you feel implant dentistry is the choice for you, we ask that you undergo a dental/radiographic examination and health history. During these consultation visits, your specific needs and considerations will be addressed by either our dentists. Your questions and concerns are important to us and our team will work with you very closely to help make your procedure a success.
Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, our dentists can place single-stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them. In some cases, the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction, further minimizing the number of surgical procedures. You can also receive a temporary implant superstructure on the same day.
Our dentist perform the actual implant surgery, initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting if necessary. Your dentist fits and makes the permanent prosthesis. Your dentist will also make any temporary prosthesis needed during the implant process.
Dental implants are metal anchors, which act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jaw bone. Small posts are then attached to the implant, which protrude through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, dental implants are placed within your jaw bone. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually bonding with the jaw bone. You should be able to wear temporary dentures and eat a soft diet during this time. At the same time, your restorative dentist designs the final bridgework or denture, which will ultimately improve both function and aesthetics.
After the dental implant has bonded to the jaw bone, the second phase begins. The surgeon will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. Our dentists can then start making your new teeth. An impression must be taken. Then posts or attachments can be connected to the implants. The replacement teeth are then made over the posts or attachments. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.
