Dental implants offer a long-lasting solution to missing teeth, helping to restore both oral function and aesthetics. The procedure consists of placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which bonds with it over time, followed by the placement of an abutment and dental restoration.
Patients who have minimal bone loss and healthy gums qualify for implant treatment. Those who have lost significant amounts of jaw bone may need bone grafting before receiving an implant.
Implants
Whether you’ve lost one tooth, several teeth or all of your teeth, dental implants can offer an excellent way to replace them. Missing teeth can cause problems with eating and speaking, and they can make it difficult to keep your smile looking healthy and attractive.
Implants are a permanent, stable replacement for a missing tooth root that can support crowns, bridges or dentures. The procedure begins with a titanium post being placed into the jawbone.
The healing process — called osseointegration – usually takes three to six months as the bone bonds with the biocompatible post. After this, our dentist will attach a permanent restoration, which fits on top of the implant post.
Implants are ideal for anyone who has lost a tooth or teeth due to injury, disease, and age. They can also be used to help restore a person’s confidence and self-esteem.
Teeth in a Day
Teeth in a Day is an innovative dental treatment that uses as few as four implants to replace a full arch of missing teeth. It allows patients to return to eating, smiling and speaking comfortably within a single session.
The procedure involves a number of records including x-rays, CT scans, photos and impressions to determine the number and location of implants required for each patient’s specific smile. Once this information is received, Dr. Trevisani will use a digital model of the surgical site to plan the treatment.
Once the appropriate number of implants are placed, a temporary fixed set of teeth will be inserted to protect the implants during healing and prevent bone loss in the area. This temporary set will then be replaced with a permanent set once the implants have fully healed.
This procedure is an ideal solution for those who have lost all or most of their teeth, and don’t want to wait months to get the rest of their smiles back. It also provides an affordable alternative to dentures.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation dentistry is a safe and effective way to help patients overcome dental anxiety. It can also make procedures more comfortable for people who have sensitivity to pain or small mouths.
You can receive sedation through oral medications or IV sedation, depending on your needs and preferences. Some patients are so drowsy that they don’t remember the procedure at all.
Another option is inhaled minimal sedation, where you breathe nitrous oxide or “laughing gas.” This method allows the dentist to control how much gas you get and keeps you comfortable for the duration of your appointment.
If you are unsure about sedation, ask us for more information or schedule a consultation. We will be able to recommend the best option for you and your unique situation.
