Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to look, feel and function like natural teeth. They are a great technology that allows Periodontists to create healthy, attractive smiles for life. Experienced dentists can also place implants, although it is suggested that patients make sure their implant placing dentist is performing this procedure frequently, as results are permanent.

Dental Implants can give you back the confidence to eat what you like, laugh when its funny and smile for no good reason at all. Your implants will appear natural and ensure that your facial contours and jaw bone mass are preserved. Implants themselves are tiny titanium posts which are placed in your jaw bone and mimic your natural tooth root wherever teeth are missing. Your bone will surround and bond with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for the rest of the tooth. A crown will be placed on top of the post for a natural looking, completely functional artificial tooth structure.

Dental implants require two procedures. First, the titanium post will be carefully placed in the jaw bone. After a period of three months of healing, you will come back to have a crown placed on top to complete the procedure. By then, the implant will be bonded with the jaw bone and a permanent, fully functional restoration. Depending on the esthetic requirements of the area you may be given a temporary restoration until healing is complete and the crown can be placed.

Dental implants require strategic placement and planning to ensure strength and long term stability. Placement of implants is often close to major nerve bundles, blood vessels and the sinus cavity. As mentioned above, an experienced dentist or Periodontist are best to place your permanent dental implants.

Many patients choose to be sedated to reduce anxiety and maximize comfort during this procedure.
