What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are unlike other similar restorative solutions, such as dental bridges and dentures. These titanium posts can mimic the function of natural tooth roots, delivering stimulation to the jawbone to reduce additional tooth loss and facial sagging. They are placed within the bone and fuse to surrounding tissues to create a solid anchor for your new smile.

The 4-Step Dental Implant Process

At Highland Oak Dental, you can remain confident when choosing to move forward with dental implants because of the attention to detail and incorporation of highly advanced technologies that Dr. Gadhiya uses. When discussing your upcoming treatment, there will be four steps you must take if you want your new smile to be a success:

  • Initial Dental Implant Consultation – You’ll need to meet with your implant dentist, Dr. Gadhiya, to go over your oral and overall health. Based on his findings as well as the density of your jawbone, you will either be cleared for dental implant surgery or require preliminary treatment to address an existing oral health problem.
  • Dental Implant Surgery – No referrals are required, as Dr. Gadhiya will complete the surgical step of the dental implant process himself. After administering local anesthesia to numb your mouth, he will open areas of your gums to place each implant into its designated space. This will create a solid foundation for what will become your new smile.
  • Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – It is necessary for you to spend 4-6 months recovering after surgery, as osseointegration must occur. This is when your implants fuse with your jawbone. After this is complete, you will have your metal abutments attached to your implant posts to ensure your new restoration remains firmly in place.
  • Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – Before you can begin to enjoy life with your new smile, we will need to secure it in place. This means that once we are satisfied with the look of your crown, bridge, or denture, we’ll connect it to your implant to create a longer-lasting set of teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

The benefits of dental implants are not to be overlooked. When comparing them to dental bridges or traditional dentures, you’ll find that not only can you live with your artificial implants for 30+ years, but you’ll also appreciate a stronger, nearly fully restored bite force. This allows you to eat all your favorite foods without worrying about your teeth shifting out of place. Not to mention, you’ll enjoy cost savings in the long run, as you won’t require the purchase of denture adhesive or regular replacements every few years.

Teeth in a Day & All-On-4 Dental Implants Available

The jawbone plays a vital role in dental implant placement, so if Dr. Gadhiya discovers that you lack the necessary jawbone density to adequately support your new implants, we can recommend Teeth in a Day and/or All-on-4 dental implants. Designed to provide faster results, we can pinpoint the densest areas of your jawbone so that your new titanium posts can be positioned for maximum strength and stability.
