- Dental ExaminationFirst, you will need to discuss your options with your dentist. Together, it will be decided if you are a good candidate for dental implants. The dentist will take a complete dental history, x-rays, and complete a thorough oral examination. If you are a candidate for implant surgery, the procedure is as follows...
- X-rays
- Dental Sealants
- VeneersDental Emergency Cosmetic Care Laser Teeth Whitening Bonding & Porcelain Veneers Natural Looking Crowns & Bridges Root Canal Therapy Ceramic Inlay
- CrownsA natural tooth consists of a crown (the part you see above the gum), and the root (the part hidden under the gum, within the jawbone). It is the root, which actually holds the natural tooth in place. When a person is missing a tooth, the dentist must decide how to re-create the crown portion, and choose the best method to hold it in place. Dental implants were created for this purpose.
- Bridges
- Dental Bonding
- Root Canal Treatment• Performed more complicated aspects of dentistry such as full mouth(18 units) case increased vertical dimension of occlusion; endodontics that used different systems: Ultradent Endo Eze, Dentsply Endo Rotary System, and System B heat source; and periodontal treatment that used the Picasso soft tissue laser.
- Periodontal Surgery
- DenturesDental implants can provide stability for a complete denture, thereby eliminating unsightly moving and clicking associated with dentures.
- OverdenturesLong-term success depends on multiple factors. Firstly, success will depend on the quality and quantity of bone. The better the bone and the more available, the greater the chance of long-term success. Secondly, the experience and ability of the dental surgeon will be a factor. As with any surgical procedure, there is no substitute for the experience and individual talent of the dentist. And finally, the quality of the restoration placed on top of the implant will play a big role in long-term success. If the design of the implant crowns or overdentures are poorly constructed, and biting forces are not balanced, even the best-placed dental implant will have a compromised survival rate.
- Dental ImplantsDental implants are made of various biomaterials. Most commonly, a surgical metal called titanium is used, because it is the most compatible with human biology. They are surgically placed in the jawbone, right in the dentist's office, using a local anesthetic. Approved and tested implant systems are very successful. In fact, some have lasted more than 20 years with a better than 90% success rate. Patients who have good oral hygiene and take care of their new teeth can enjoy implants that last a lifetime.
