Dental Implants

For a variety of reasons including tooth decay and poor dental hygiene, the loss of a tooth without proper treatment can contribute to longer term overall health problems: a depressed immune system, an increased risk of serious oral inflammation, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, pregnancy complications, even dementia and respiratory diseases. To prevent the decaying of gums and other issues, a dental implant may be needed. A dental implant serves as an artificial substitute for the root of a lost tooth.

Dental implants have been a normal part of dentistry for more than three decades, and the procedure is regarded to be extremely safe. At All Family Dental & Braces, our team of specialists have years of experience performing the procedure, and the result is a high-quality, natural-looking implant that will last for a long time. For the majority of patients who are in good health, there’s almost no risk of any major complications or problems with the dental implant procedure.

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are natural-looking artificial teeth that are typically made of strong and lightweight titanium or titanium alloys. They’re attached to your jaw by a metal post attached firmly to the bone, which makes them exceptionally sturdy and durable. All Family offers the following options:

  • All On Four: All On Four is a dental implant service that replaces the upper or lower set of teeth with just four implants. They act as a support structure for the placement of a new set of fixed teeth.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that replaces several teeth at once. If you’ve lost most of your teeth, we may recommend implant-supported dentures. 
  • Fixed Dentures are extremely strong and durable. They will not slip or move around like conventional dentures, and you can eat a wide variety of foods without worrying about them becoming dislodged.
  • Implant Support Bridges can be used to replace multiple missing teeth and restore the aesthetics and function of your mouth. It’s a single restoration that uses dental implants on each side of the space for support.
  • Single Tooth Replacement: If you’re missing a single tooth, one dental implant and a crown can replace it. A dental implant replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root.
  • Multiple Teeth Replacement: When you’re missing several teeth, you have the option of replacing them with a removable partial denture, individual implant-supported crowns or implant-supported bridges. Depending on the situation, your periodontist may recommend that a dental implant replace each missing tooth.
  • Replacing All Teeth: The most common way to replace a set of teeth is with implants. Removable snap-in dentures are also possible.

Our Dental Implants Procedure

Dental implants require multiple office visits and consultation with your dentist. Here are the steps to a typical implant procedure:

  • Damaged tooth is removed.
  • Jawbone preparation (grafting), if needed.
  • Dental implant placement.
  • Bone growth and healing.
  • Abutment placement.
  • Artificial tooth placement.

What else should you know about dental implants?

  • Bone Grafting will sometimes be required if decay or injury has caused bone loss. A bone graft replaces and regenerates lost bone, creating a more solid base for a dental implant.
  • Endosteal implants, the most common type of dental implant, are recommended for most patients, but they require a completely healthy jawbone. They are placeholder posts that are shaped like screws. False teeth are then attached to them.
  • Subperiosteal implants rest on top of the bone but under the gum. A metal frame is placed under the gum with a post attached to it. The gum  heals around the frame to hold it in place. The false tooth is then secured to the post.
  • Zygomatic implants are complicated and uncommon. The implant is placed in the patient’s cheekbone rather than the jawbone.

The type of implant you receive may be based upon the particular office you visit, your dental insurance benefits, or what your dentist recommends based upon your dental health status.
