Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a three-piece artificial appliance that restores one or more missing teeth. The implant post is a screw-like titanium post that is surgically inserted in the jawbone to act as a prosthetic root. As the implant remains beneath the gum line, the dentist attaches a small prosthetic device called an abutment to link the implant to a crown or other final restoration. Once all the implant components are pieced together, your new tooth regains immediate function and appearance like your natural tooth.
What can I expect from the dental implant procedure?
Our dental implant treatment follows a digital-led approach, leveraging the latest advancements in dental technology to ensure precision, efficiency, and optimal patient outcomes. Here is what you can expect from our implant treatment.
- Consultation: The dentist uses digital X-rays and 3D scans to evaluate your oral and jawbone health. Potential dental implant candidates must have a healthy jawbone and be free from oral infections and other oral problems. Next, your dentist will devise a treatment plan to determine the optimal position, angle, and depth of each implant, ensuring optimal stability, alignment, and functionality.
- Pre-surgery procedures: Your implant treatment is not always a straightforward procedure. Sometimes, you may need supplementary procedures before placing your implants. For instance, patients with severe bone loss may need bone grafting to stabilize their bone for implantology. Similarly, patients with failing teeth need their teeth extracted to create space for predictable dental implants.
- Implant placement: Dr. Salim uses X-Guide™ Dynamic 3D Navigation for precise placement of dental implants, minimizing the risk of errors and improving overall outcomes. This digital approach allows for minimally invasive surgical techniques, reducing recovery time and discomfort for the patient.
- Healing and fusion: We’ll give you a 4-6 month break to allow your implants to heal and fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration.
- Abutment placement: After healing, the dentist will incise your gums with minor surgery to reveal the underlying implant. Then, they’ll attach a small prosthetic device (abutment) to the implant, which protrudes above the gum line.
- Final restoration: To complete the implant treatment, we’ll place a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. Once your implant(s) are restored, you’ll smile, eat, and talk like you have 100% natural teeth.
Dental implants are the next best thing to natural teeth. They restore your oral function to near perfect, offering ultimate stability when using your teeth. Besides, they look natural, last many years, and preserve the jawbone through functional stimulation.
