Dental Implants: Delivering the Steps Toward Your Improved Smile
If one of our dental implants could be a solution for you, we want you to know more about the procedures. This procedure requires us to surgically place a biocompatible titanium post into your jawbone to replace the missing tooth root. Our team can finish your procedure once your bone bonds to your jawbone. Here is a closer look at what you can expect from our process for placing your dental implants:
- If you still have the damaged tooth, we extract it.
- We perform bone grafting if your jawbone needs strengthening.
- Our team surgically implants a small titanium post into your jawbone. We do this while you're under local anesthesia and sedation if needed.
- After making an incision into your gum, we drill a hole into the bone to host your titanium implant.
- We have you wait a few months for your implant to fuse with your jawbone through the process of osseointegration.
- We sometimes place a temporary healing cap, a.k.a. "abutment," on your implant.
- Once osseointegration is complete, we attach a connector piece to your implant. If gum tissue grows over your implant, we'll conduct a minor procedure to expose it.
- We make a dental implant that matches your natural teeth.
- After we attach your crown to the abutment, your restoration is done.
Whether you need to replace one tooth or more, our implants might be your solution. Our team can quickly determine if you're a good candidate for this procedure. Just make an appointment with us so Dr. Alberto A. Herrero can examine your teeth and jaw. Contact us to start the process; we're always accepting new patients!
Discover the Strongest & Most Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth
Our dental implants offer a more permanent solution than dentures, dental crowns, and bridges. We tell patients to consider all the factors involved before making this decision. If you're looking for an instant solution, we recommend crowns, bridges, or dentures. But if you're willing to wait, our dental implants could be the perfect solution. If you choose to have us handle your implant, you can expect these benefits:
- Bone Health: Implants fuse with your jawbone (osseointegration) to stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss caused by missing teeth. This helps maintain facial structure and support for remaining teeth.
- Stability & Security: Implants are anchored into your jawbone for a stable foundation, while dentures can slip or move when you speak or chew food.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Take good care of your dental implant, and it might last a lifetime. Dentures or bridges often need to be replaced.
- Natural Function: Implants function like natural teeth, delivering a natural bite force and chewing. Dentures, on the other hand, can offer limited chewing.
- Spare Your Other Teeth: Your surrounding teeth don't need shaping or grinding to support your implant.
Your bone density determines whether or not we can provide you with a dental implant. If you don't have the bone volume to support an implant adequately, you'll encounter stability and chewing issues. It's important to schedule an appointment with us. If Dr. Herrero discovers that dental implants aren't the right solution for you, he'll recommend one of a variety of other dental services. We have multiple ways of restoring your gorgeous smile.
