Signs You Need a Tooth Implant

Tooth Loss:

If you have lost a permanent tooth due to trauma, advanced tooth decay or periodontal disease, a tooth implant will provide a stable and long-lasting replacement.

Unsalvageable Tooth Damage:

In some cases, a tooth may be so severely damaged by decay, fracture or other issues that it cannot be repaired with a filling, crown or other restorative treatment. Extracting the tooth and replacing it with an implant may be the best option.

Loose or Unstable Teeth:

An implant is a permanent solution if you have an unstable tooth due to bone loss or advanced gum disease.

Difficulty Chewing or Biting:

Missing or damaged teeth make it challenging to chew food properly. Dental implants restore your ability to eat comfortably and confidently.

Aesthetic Concerns:

Gaps left by missing teeth negatively impact your smile and overall facial aesthetics. Dental implants provide a natural-looking replacement and blend in with your existing teeth.

Bone Loss in the Jaw:

When a tooth is missing, the underlying bone in the jaw can begin to deteriorate over time. Dental implants preserve the integrity of the jaw by stimulating the bone and preventing further bone loss.

Discomfort or Pain:

Severely damaged or infected teeth cause chronic pain and discomfort. Replacing the problematic tooth with an implant alleviates issues and improves your overall oral health and well-being.

Difficulty with Dentures or Bridges:

Traditional dental restorations like dentures or bridges may become uncomfortable, unstable or ill-fitting over time. Dental implants provide a more secure and long-lasting solution, eliminating the need for these types of removable appliances.

Types of Tooth Implants

Endosteal Implants: The most common type, placed directly into the jawbone. They are typically made of titanium and are used for patients with healthy bone structures.
Subperiosteal Implants: Placed under the gum but on or above the jawbone. Implants are used for patients who don’t have enough healthy jawbones for endosteal implants.
Zygomatic Implants: Used in cases of severe bone loss in the upper jaw. Implants are anchored in the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) instead of the jawbone.
Mini Implants: Smaller in diameter than traditional implants. Often used for patients with limited bone density or for securing dentures.

What To Expect When Getting an Implant The Tooth Implant Procedure

Initial Consultation and Evaluation:

Your oral surgeon will thoroughly examine your mouth, review your medical history and take X-rays or 3D scans to assess the condition of your jawbone and the site where the implant will be placed.
We’ll discuss the optimal placement of the implant, different types of implants, and the expected timeline for the procedure and recovery.
You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns.

Dental Implant Placement

The procedure typically begins with numbing the treatment area.
A small incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the underlying bone.
Using specialized surgical tools, the pilot hole is drilled into the jawbone and then gradually widened to create a precise, custom-fit socket for the implant.
The titanium implant post will be inserted into the jawbone, ensuring a secure and stable foundation.
If necessary, we conduct a bone graft procedure to augment the jawbone and provide additional support for the implant.
Finally, the gum tissue will be sutured around the implant post, leaving a small portion exposed above the gumline.

Osseointegration and Abutment Placement

Over the next 3 to 6 months, the titanium implant post will undergo a process called osseointegration, where it naturally fuses with the surrounding jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation.
Once the osseointegration is complete, your surgeon will schedule a second procedure to attach an abutment (a small connector piece) to the top of the implant post.
This abutment will serve as the base for the final restoration, such as a dental crown, bridge or denture.

Final Restoration

Impressions or digital scans of your mouth are taken to create a custom-made restoration to match the size, shape and color of your natural teeth.
Once the restoration is fabricated, we securely attach it to the abutment, completing the tooth implant process.

Ongoing Care and Maintenance

Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing and professional cleanings, is essential for the long-term success of your dental implant.
You'll need to schedule periodic follow-up appointments with your oral surgeon to monitor the health and stability of the implant.
In some cases, minor adjustments or additional procedures are necessary to ensure the optimal fit and function of your restoration.
