Why Are Dental Implants the Preferred Treatment for Missing Teeth?

Traditional tooth replacement methods look like teeth, but they lack a crucial feature: tooth roots. This hidden part of your natural tooth stimulates the jawbone, preventing it from wasting away. Without stimulation, the jawbone recedes and more teeth can be lost.  

A dental implant, which is a titanium post inserted into your jaw, is an artificial root that encourages bone growth and keeps your jaw strong. It also supports the natural-looking tooth restoration that fills the gap in your smile and gives you the strong bite that allows you to eat the food you enjoy.

Have You Been Told You Are Ineligible for Implants?

Traditional vs mini dental implant

Mini Dental Implants May Be an Option If You Lack Bone Density

One of the downsides of missing teeth is the accompanying loss of bone density in the jaw. Without enough bone, you may not be able to support a traditional dental implant. If this is the problem you face, there may be an alternative: mini dental implants. 

Mini dental implants, which are made of titanium, are similar to traditional ones, just smaller. They are about the diameter of a toothpick, which makes them small enough to fit where a traditional implant can't. In addition to not requiring as much bone density, mini implants are less expensive and the procedure is less invasive, which makes recovery faster.

New Implant Material Offers 
Hope for High-Risk Patients

In addition to titanium implants, we offer Trabecular Metal Dental Implants, which have been shown to speed up bone formation and healing.

In some cases, final restorations can be placed in as little as two weeks as compared to the months required with titanium implants.  

Trabecular Metal Dental Implants are giving new hope to patients whose risk factors, such as diabetes or cancer treatments, have made them ineligible for conventional implants.

Trabecular implants may also be an option for Monroe, Huntington, and Newtown patients who have experienced implant failure with standard implants. 

What to Expect: Dental Implant Treatment in Monroe

Timelines will vary depending on your treatment plan, but most implant procedures generally follow along these lines:

We use 3D cone-beam CT scanning technology to ensure the precise placement of dental implants and long-lasting results.

Consultation

One of our dentists will meet with you to discuss your goals and use a 3D CBCT scanner to assess your mouth and bone density. If you are a good candidate for implants, he will explain your options and answer any questions you may have.

Preparatory Procedures

Some patients need preparatory treatments to create a healthy foundation for implants. If needed, we have the skills and technology to extract severely decayed teeth, treat gum disease, or perform bone grafts and sinus lifts. 

Implant Placement

The treatment area will be numbed and, if you desire, we will administer nitrous oxide so you can rest comfortably. The implant will then be placed in the jawbone and the area sutured closed. 

Healing Period

The treatment area will be left undisturbed for the next three to six months to allow bone to naturally grow around the implant, fusing it in place in a process called osseointegration. 

Abutment Placement

After osseointegration, the gums will be opened to reveal the implant and a connector piece called an abutment will be attached. In about two weeks, the gums will grow around the abutment creating a natural seal.

Impressions

Once the gums have healed, your dentist will take an impression of the abutment and surrounding teeth to guide creation of the restoration. In many cases, we can use our CEREC technology to mill your crown or bridge and attach it immediately. Dentures typically take longer.

Restoration Placement

When your restoration is ready, we will check that it fits comfortably and blends in with your natural teeth before attaching it. The only thing left is for you to share your beautiful new smile with the world.
