What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small posts that are made from biocompatible materials like titanium, zirconia, and ceramic. Designed to replace the root structures of missing teeth, they’re surgically secured within the jawbone and naturally fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration over the course of several months. After this, they’re ready to provide unwavering support to a free-standing dental crown, bridge, or full denture.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Consultation: At your initial consultation, you’ll meet with one of our prosthodontists to learn whether you’re a good candidate for the procedure and receive a customized treatment plan.
- Surgery: Our in-house periodontist, Dr. Vazquez, will surgically place the dental implants beneath the gumline.
- Healing: The following three to six months after your surgery, your implants will fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
- Restoration: Our team will secure small metal connector pieces, called abutments, to the top of your dental implants. Then, we’ll attach your final restoration to complete your smile.
Who Dental Implants Can Help
Our team will design your dental implant treatment plan to match your individual needs during your consultation. Depending on your unique tooth loss situation, we may recommend any of the avenues below:
Missing One Tooth
To replace a single missing tooth, we will secure one dental implant beneath the gumline. This will act as a strong foundation for a free-standing dental crown, effectively filling the gap between your two teeth without requiring the alteration of any of your existing teeth to preserve as much of your natural dental structure as possible.
Missing Multiple Teeth
If you’re missing several teeth in a row, we can secure a bridge to two or more dental implants. Or, we can use a combination of implant bridges and implant crowns to restore several missing teeth throughout the arch.
Missing All Teeth
While dentures can restore the visual of your smile, they often lack in the functionality department. We can make your prosthetic even more functional by attaching it to between four and eight dental implants surgically seated within the jawbone. As a result, you won’t have to deal with them slipping or shifting, and you’ll regain up to 80 percent of your natural chewing power.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
While any dentist can offer All-on-4 dental implants, our prosthodontist and periodontist at Prosper Dental Health are specially trained in this procedure. Our unique qualifications and additional training in treating complex tooth loss cases allows us to restore a smile using just four dental implants to secure a full denture. In many cases, utilizing this technique allows patients to avoid the need for preliminary treatments like bone grafting.
Advanced Dental Implant Procedures
Dr. Yaritza Vazquez, our in-house periodontist, is trained in a variety of surgical techniques involving the soft oral tissue and bone. As a result, our team provides preparatory treatments like tooth extractions, bone grafting, and ridge augmentations to prepare your smile for success before you undergo dental implant placement.
