What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are advanced restorative devices designed to replace missing teeth from root to crown. They consist of three main components:

• Implant Post: A biocompatible titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as an artificial tooth root.
• Abutment: A connector that attaches to the implant post and holds the prosthetic tooth.
• Crown or Prosthetic Tooth: A custom-made tooth that matches the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth.

This combination provides a stable and durable foundation for single tooth replacements, bridges, or even full-arch restorations.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Natural Appearance and Functionality

Dental implants look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, allowing you to smile confidently and enjoy your favorite foods without restriction.

Preservation of Jawbone Health

When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone begins to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants mimic natural tooth roots, stimulating bone growth and preventing bone loss, which helps maintain facial structure and prevents the sunken appearance often associated with missing teeth.

Longevity and Durability

With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are a long-term investment in your oral health, offering a durable solution compared to traditional bridges or dentures that may require frequent replacement.

Improved Oral Health

Dental implants do not require the alteration of adjacent healthy teeth, as is necessary with traditional bridges. This preserves your natural tooth structure and promotes better long-term oral health.

Enhanced Comfort and Convenience

Unlike removable dentures, dental implants eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience associated with adhesives and potential slipping. They become a permanent part of your mouth, allowing you to speak and chew with ease.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Superior Outcomes

We are committed to utilizing the latest advancements in dental technology to enhance the precision, efficiency, and success of your dental implant procedure.

CBCT Imaging

Our Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner provides detailed 3D images of your teeth, soft tissues, nerve pathways, and bone structure. This technology allows us to:

• Accurately assess bone density and volume.
• Identify optimal implant placement locations.
• Avoid critical anatomical structures.

Digital Impressions with iTero Scanner

Using the iTero Element Scanner, we capture precise digital impressions of your oral structures without the discomfort of traditional molds. This ensures:

• Improved accuracy for implant prosthetics.
• Enhanced patient comfort.
• Streamlined communication with our in-house lab.

3D Printing Technology

Our in-house 3D printer enables us to fabricate custom surgical guides and provisional restorations with exceptional precision. Benefits include:

• Personalized surgical guides for exact implant placement.
• Reduced surgical time and improved safety.
• Immediate provisional restorations for enhanced aesthetics during healing.

CEREC Same-Day Restorations

With CEREC technology, we can design, mill, and place custom crowns and bridges in a single visit. This reduces the number of appointments and accelerates your path to a restored smile.

Laser Dentistry

Our Hard and Soft Tissue Lasers allow for minimally invasive procedures with reduced discomfort and faster healing times, particularly beneficial in gum treatments related to implant surgery.
