What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once in place, they fuse with the bone through osseointegration, becoming a permanent part of your jaw. Implants provide a stable foundation for dental restorations and offer a lasting, natural solution to tooth loss. Our dentist offers a variety of dental implant options to fit your unique needs, including:
- Crowns: A dental crown is ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, providing a natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. It is placed on top of an implant to act as your new tooth.
- Bridges: A bridge can replace multiple missing teeth by attaching to dental implants on either side of the gap. This solution restores your ability to speak and chew comfortably while improving the appearance of your smile.
- Dentures: Full dentures supported by dental implants are designed to restore up to an entire arch of missing teeth. These custom-made dentures offer a secure and comfortable fit, improving your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently while providing a natural, lifelike appearance.
- All-on-4: This treatment uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth. It offers a quicker and more efficient way to restore your smile, especially for those with significant tooth loss, while providing the stability and comfort of natural teeth.
- All-on-X: A variation of the All-on-4, the All-on-X option involves placing additional implants for enhanced support. This treatment is ideal for patients with specific needs or those who want extra stability and durability for their full arch restoration.
Why Might I Need a Dental Implant?
Dental implants offer a versatile solution to tooth loss, and there are several reasons why you may need one. Whether you've lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, implants can restore your smile's appearance and function. If you have gaps in your teeth, implants not only fill those spaces but also help prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of alignment, leading to further dental problems.
Additionally, dental implants are beneficial for maintaining jawbone health. When a tooth is lost, the bone in that area may begin to deteriorate, but the implant stimulates bone growth, helping to preserve your jaw's structure. Ultimately, dental implants offer a durable, natural-looking solution, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently again.
Pretreatments for Dental Implants
If your mouth is not healthy enough to support dental implants, we perform pre-treatments before your procedure to prepare your mouth for the implants. These pretreatments help prepare your mouth by addressing any underlying issues, allowing your implants to be placed successfully. Our dentist performs pretreatments in-house to streamline your dental implant process. Our pretreatments include:
- Bone Grafts: A bone graft may be necessary if you have insufficient bone in your jaw to support an implant. This procedure involves adding bone material to the area, then allowing the bone to heal and thicken, providing a stable foundation for the implant.
- Extractions: If you have damaged or severely decayed teeth that need removal before placing an implant, we may recommend extractions. Removing these teeth creates space for the implants and allows for proper healing of the surrounding tissues.
Our Dental Implant Process Using YOMI Technology
Our practice uses the advanced Yomi robotic system for precise and efficient dental implant procedures. The process begins with a consultation, where we evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if dental implants are the right option for you. If necessary, we will also perform any pretreatment to prepare your mouth for the implants.
Once your treatment plan is ready, we take a 3D scan of your mouth. This scan provides detailed imaging of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures, which is sent to the Yomi system. Yomi processes the data in just five minutes and creates a customized surgical guide specific to your anatomy. This guide helps place the implants precisely and reduces the need for large incisions, leading to a quicker recovery.
Once we place your implants and you have healed, we proceed with placing the restoration. We design our restorations to blend in seamlessly with your smile, offering both comfort and natural aesthetics. With the precision of Yomi, we streamline the entire process to make it comfortable and efficient, allowing you to achieve a lasting, beautiful smile.
