In-Office Implants
At our office, we offer comprehensive dental implant services, including both surgical placement and restoration, to provide patients with seamless and effective solutions for replacing missing teeth. Here's how we approach dental implant surgery and restoration:
Initial Consultation and Treatment Planning:
- Comprehensive Examination: We begin with a thorough examination of the patient's oral health, including the evaluation of the jawbone structure, surrounding teeth, and gum tissue. This assessment helps us determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for dental implants.
- Digital Imaging: If required, we utilize advanced digital imaging technology, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), to obtain detailed 3D images of the jawbone and surrounding structures. These images enable us to precisely plan the placement of the dental implants for optimal stability and aesthetics.
Dental Implant Surgery:
- Expert Surgical Care: Our experienced dental professionals perform the dental implant surgery with precision and skill. This involves carefully placing the dental implants into the jawbone using minimally invasive techniques to minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.
Healing and Osseointegration:
- Healing Period: After implant placement, a healing period is necessary to allow the implants to integrate with the surrounding jawbone through a process called osseointegration. During this time, we provide patients with post-operative instructions and closely monitor their healing progress.
- Temporary Restorations: In some cases, temporary restorations may be placed to maintain aesthetics and function while the implants heal. These temporary restorations help patients maintain their smile and chewing ability during the osseointegration process.
Dental Implant Restoration:
- Customized Restorations: Once osseointegration is complete, we begin the restoration phase by designing and fabricating custom dental prosthetics, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, to attach to the dental implants. These restorations are meticulously crafted to blend seamlessly with the patient's natural teeth and facial features.
- Implant-supported Prosthetics: We offer a variety of implant-supported prosthetic options, including single-tooth restorations, implant-supported bridges, and implant-retained dentures, to meet the unique needs and preferences of each patient.
Ongoing Maintenance and Care:
- Regular Follow-up Visits: We schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor the health and stability of the dental implants and prosthetics. During these visits, we perform routine examinations, cleanings, and adjustments as needed to ensure the long-term success of the treatment.
- Patient Education: We provide patients with comprehensive education on how to care for their dental implants and prosthetics at home, including proper oral hygiene techniques and lifestyle habits that promote oral health and longevity of the implants.
At our office, we are committed to providing patients with exceptional dental implant services from initial consultation to final restoration. Our goal is to help patients achieve beautiful, functional smiles and regain confidence in their oral health and appearance. If you are considering dental implants, we invite you to schedule a consultation with us to learn more about how we can help you restore your smile.
