DENTAL IMPLANTS:
Dental implants are changing
the way people live! They are designed to
provide a foundation for replacement teeth which
look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The
person who has lost teeth regains the ability to
eat virtually anything and can smile with
confidence, knowing their teeth appear natural
and their facial contours will be preserved.
What are Dental Implants?
The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts
which are inserted into the jawbone where teeth
are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth
root substitutes. They are surgically placed
into the jawbone. The bone bonds with the
titanium, creating a strong foundation for
artificial teeth. Small posts are then attached
to the implant which protrude through the gums.
These posts provide stable anchors for
artificial replacement teeth.
Implants also help preserve facial structure,
preventing the bone deterioration that occurs
when teeth are missing.
The Surgical Procedure
For most patients, the placement
of dental implants involves one surgical
procedure (placement of implant within your
jawbone) and a temporary metal post over the
implant. Three to six months following
surgery, the implant is tested to confirm
bonding with the bone and now you are deemed
ready to have a tooth placed over the implant.
Dr. Sreeni will extract the tooth (front or
back) and place an implant the same day, thus
minimizing the need for additional surgeries and
appointments. When implants are placed in the
esthetic zone (smile area) very often Dr. Sreeni
will provide a temporary tooth within 24 hours
over the implant. Most patients experience
minimal disruption in their daily lifestyle and
need not wear anything removable.
