What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into your jawbone to mimic your natural tooth function. The entire treatment is composed of three main parts: the implant post, the abutment, and the restoration. Implants offer a long-term solution for tooth loss by providing a durable, stable foundation that can last many years with proper care. Our dentist has the experience to provide a variety of dental implant restorations, including:

Crowns: We use custom-made crowns to replace a single missing tooth. Attached to a dental implant, they blend in with your natural teeth and restore normal function.
Bridges: Our implant-supported bridges are ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth in a row, restoring your bite without relying on natural teeth for support.
Dentures: For those missing a full arch of teeth, our implant-supported dentures offer a secure, comfortable fit.
All-on-4®: An advanced solution for those missing a full arch of teeth, All-on-4 uses four strategically placed implants to support a complete set of teeth, minimizing recovery time. Our dentist will help determine if it's the right option for you.

Dental Implant Pretreatments

If your mouth is not healthy enough to support a dental implant, we may recommend pretreatments before proceeding with implant placement. With our experienced periodontist on staff, we make receiving these treatments in-office as seamless and convenient as possible. Common pretreatments include:

Bone Grafts: We may perform a bone graft if your jawbone is not dense enough to support an implant. During this procedure, bone materials are placed into your jawbone to rebuild and strengthen it, providing a stable foundation for your implant.
Sinus Lifts: If your upper jaw doesn't have enough space to support an implant, we may perform a sinus lift. This procedure adds bone material to the upper jaw and raises the sinus floor to support your implant.

Our Tooth Implant Process

Our dental implant process begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we assess your oral health, take x-rays, and discuss your treatment goals. If we determine your jawbone isn't healthy enough to support an implant, our periodontist will perform pretreatments to prepare it. We can proceed with implant placement once you have healed from these procedures.

Once your jaw is ready, our periodontist places the implant precisely, providing a secure foundation. Next, we take detailed impressions to design a custom restoration that fits comfortably and looks natural alongside your other teeth. When your restoration is ready, you'll return to our office to have it securely placed, completing your smile and restoring full function.

Implant Dentistry FAQs

We understand you may have questions regarding our tooth implants. Our team is here to provide answers and help you feel comfortable throughout your care. We are committed to restoring the appearance and function of your smile and giving you the peace of mind you need during the treatment process. Common questions include:

How do I care for dental implants?

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups are essential to maintain longevity and prevent infection.

What happens if I don't get tooth implants after losing a tooth?

If you don't replace a missing tooth with an implant, the surrounding teeth can shift, leading to bite problems and potential bone loss in the jaw. Over time, this can affect your overall dental health, so it's important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible.

How do I know if my dental implant is healing properly?

During follow-up appointments, we will monitor your healing progress. Signs of proper healing include minimal pain, no swelling or infection, and steady improvement in bone integration. If you have any concerns during recovery, don't hesitate to contact us.
