Dental
Implant
If
you are missing one or more teeth and wish to eat your favorite
foods, increase your chewing ability, and improve your appearance,
speech, and self-esteem, then you are a candidate for dental implants.
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and is made
from surgical-grade titanium alloy (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) to exacting
specifications. Initially, the implant is placed into the jawbone
either immediately after the loss of a tooth, or after an extended
period of time. If there is insufficient bone, various bone enhancing
procedures can be performed prior to the implant placement. An
abutment, which acts as a base for a prosthetic tooth replacement
such as a crown, is inserted into the implant at the time of implant
placement, or subsequently after a period of healing.
 
In
the past, dentists would try to keep or replace teeth with treatments
such as root canals, bridges, and fixed or removable dentures.
Unfortunately, a significant number of root canal treated teeth
fail, bridges require that healthy adjacent teeth be cut down
and removable dentures can often be unstable and require the use
of sticky adhesives. Dental implants are a solution to these problems,
and many of the concerns associated with natural teeth are eliminated,
including dental decay.

Am I a candidate for a dental implant?
The
placement of a dental implant is typically completed in less than
an hour, as an office procedure with only local anesthesia. Post-operative
discomfort is normally less than that of a tooth extraction. For
aesthetic reasons, it is often possible to have a fixed transitional
restoration immediately after implant placement so that you are
never without a tooth. After a period of three to six months of
healing, the temporary healing abutment is removed from the implant
and a final abutment is inserted into the implant. A crown or
removable denture is secured to this abutment as the final restoration.
