Dental Implants

 

Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like natural teeth. The implants are tiny titanium posts which are placed into the jaw bone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the post, creating a strong foundation for the implant crown. In addition, dental implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone loss which occurs when teeth are missing.

Dental implants are changing the way people live! With them, people are rediscovering the comfort and confidence to eat, speak, laugh and enjoy life.

Dental Implant Procedure

Dental implants are metal anchors, which act as tooth root substitutes. They are surgically placed into the jaw bone. Small posts are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for restoring a natural-looking tooth.

For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, dental implants are placed within your jaw bone, in some cases, bone grafting may be necessary. For the first three to six months following surgery, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually bonding with the jaw bone. Ask Dr. Colaruotolo about options for temporary teeth during the healing process. As you are healing, Dr. Colaruotolo can design the final bridgework, dentures or crown which will ultimately improve both function and aesthetics.

After the dental implant has completely bonded to the jaw bone, the second phase begins. Dr. Colaruotolo can then start making your new teeth. An impression must be taken. The entire procedure usually takes six to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.
