Implants
Implants are considered to be the best way to restore a missing tooth or even cases where there are no teeth left in the mouth. It is the closest to nature way to restore missing teeth and are considered to be a very conservative approach (although surgery is required), as there is no need to drill any adjacent teeth, as done for a bridge restoration. In simple cases, a small surgery is required, with local anesthesia. Minimal pain and postoperative complications are involved (usually only some swelling for a few days and need for pain killers for 24 - 48 hours). This surgery is usually less complicated than the one needed for the extraction of the missing tooth. After waiting for some time for the implant to integrate with the tissues, an esthetic porcelain restoration is fabricated and placed over the implant.
With new technologies offered in our office, in selected cases, we can do immediate placement and loading of your implant (the same day the tooth is extracted you leave the office with the implant and a temporary restoration in place).
A panoramic radiograph and a thorough exam in our office is needed before we determine the exact treatment plan for your implants. In some cases we will additionally need a CT scan to schedule the surgery properly.
