What are Dental Implants?
Made of titanium and designed to look like small screws, dental implants require a surgical procedure in which they are placed into your jawbone. Integrating with the bone, they mimic natural tooth roots to deliver supreme foundational support for your new smile. Whether it is a crown, bridge, or denture that you need, Dr. William L. Farr, Dr. William Z. Farr, or Dr. Dalia Thweib can deliver a strong and sturdy restoration that completes your smile and offers improved daily use.
The 4-Step Dental Implant Process
- Initial Dental Implant Consultation – You will complete an implant consultation with one of our talented dental experts who will determine how soon you can undergo dental implant surgery. If your mouth requires additional treatment to address gum disease, severe tooth decay, or jawbone loss, this will be completed first.
- Dental Implant Surgery – We do not refer patients out for dental implant surgery but instead perform the procedure in-house. This allows for a more comfortable experience as we administer local anesthesia and place each implant post into its designated spot.
- Dental Implant Osseointegration/Abutment – Osseointegration or the fusing of your implants with your jawbone can take 4-6 months to complete. During this time, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by our team. Once you are fully healed, you will come back in to receive your metal abutments that help to hold your restoration in place.
- Delivery of Dental Implant Restoration(s) – The final step is to have your custom crown, bridge, or denture secured on top of your implant(s) so that you can begin to enjoy a full, complete, and beautiful smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Optimal Durability – Dental implants are placed within the jawbone, so they will not cause teeth to slide out of place or slip.
- Long Lifespan – If they’re properly maintained, dental implants can remain in place for a lifetime.
- Bone Preservations – Tooth loss is known to cause bone resorption, but dental implants can restore bone density and keep it strong and supportive for new teeth.
- Normal Use of Teeth – Your bite force will improve, and you’ll enjoy being able to eat and speak without fear of slurring your words or accidental slippage while eating.
Sinus Lifts
A sinus lift is an advanced dental implant treatment that is often required when these prosthetics are to be placed in the upper arch but lack the jawbone density to support implant posts. Our team can perform these services in-house and regularly accepts referrals from other dentists in the area when patients need them before receiving dental implants.
