DENTAL IMPLANTS

Does your less-than-desired confidence in your teeth affect your personal and professional relationships? Do you hide your smile because of missing teeth? Do you have trouble chewing?

Getting dental implants or artificial roots is the most fashionable way to replace lost or damaged teeth. After a surgical procedure, it will take six months or less to have the implants fully-integrated with the bone under your gums, becoming one with you, and allowing you to have your best smile.

HEALTH AND DENTAL IMPLANT PATIENT RISKS

Patients should be in good general health conditions since implant placement requires surgical procedure. Successful bone integration of implants requires good periodontal conditions. Therefore, patients that suffer from diseases that affect gums - such as diabetes - or those who smoke usually pose a high degree of failure. A very important thing you need to realize is that, in order for patients to obtain the most benefit from dental services, they need to take good care of their teeth. Brushing should be done meticulously and repeatedly after every meal, especially in the morning and evening. Dental floss and mouthwash are a must-do. And visiting the dentist every six months for professional cleaning is absolutely necessary.

In spite of how "fragile" dental implants may seem, and how much post-surgical care they require, they remain a major breakthrough in the dental industry and an excellent tool in playback functionality and aesthetics of the masticatory apparatus.

TOOTH REPLACEMENT OPTIONS

Dental implants are the only proven way to prevent bone loss after the loss of natural teeth.

Single Tooth

A dental implant may be used to replace almost any missing tooth, provided there is adequate bone at the site. If not, procedures can usually be performed that regenerate bone to safely place a dental implant, which is then placed in the bone below the gum tissue. A temporary abutment may be placed on the implant during the healing phase (4 to 5 months). After healing, the final abutment is attached to the implant holding a custom-made crown that the dental laboratory will mold to fit you perfectly.

Removable Dentures

If all your upper or lower teeth are missing, multiple dental implants may be used to support a denture that you can remove for cleaning. These dental implants are placed similarly to the single and multi-teeth situations. Your existing denture can be modified so that it may be worn without disturbing the dental implants during the healing process.

Fixed Bridge

If all your upper or lower teeth are missing, a permanent bridge may be attached directly to the dental implants. The number of dental implants is determined by the specific requirements of each case. Dental implants let you eat the foods you love! You will be fitted for a custom bridge that screws directly into the dental implants. The screw holes will be covered after insertion. Your new teeth are firmly supported by the dental implants, stimulating the jaw and halting bone loss.
