DENTAL IMPLANT

“Every Tooth in a man”s head is valuable than a diamond”

 
 

WHY DENTAL IMPLANT?

When both the tooth and root are damaged, the best permanent replacement is a dental implant in conjunction with a ceramic crown. This solution both looks and functions just like a natural tooth.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

You've lost a tooth, or perhaps several. Chewing is difficult and smiling, well it's too embarrassing.

There is no question that the quality of your life has changed. Dental implants are the solution to renewing your smile, your chewing ability and quite frankly your quality of life.Veneers are often referred to as “Instant Orthodontics”. Think you need braces? A substantial aesthetic effect can be obtained with a veneer and minimal tooth preparation is required.

 
 

What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used in solutions for replacing single or multiple missing teeth.Many people who consider implants have removable, conventional dentures for lower and upper jaws, or have removable bridges. These people experience a significant improvement in their ability to chew food comfortably after their dental implant treatment.

 
 

The Dental Implant Procedure

The implant team usually includes either a periodontist or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who implants the posts into the patient’s mouth, and a prosthodontist or general dentist who designs and fits the replacement teeth or permanent bridge. Dr. ANAS ZAIN DDS will implant, design and fit the replacement teeth or do restorative work on faulty crowns all in one office.

  1. 1. At the first appointment, we use 3D Cone Beam Imaging to determine if the jaw bone is adequate to hold the titanium posts.

  2. 2. Within minutes of the 3D CT Scan, we are able to offer patients an immediate virtual diagnosis and treatment plan-all in one visit.

  3. 3. Treatment with dental implants requires meticulous planning for best results.

  4. 4. A surgical procedure is required (using local anesthetic and sedative) in which precision channels are created in the jawbone, often using a surgical guide. The implants are then fitted into the sites so that they are in contact with the bone. They generally require two to six months to fuse to the bone before they can have tooth restorations attached to them to complete the process.

  5. 5. Immediately - at the same time an implant is placed (or after a period of healing), an abutment is attached to the implant. This is a device that “abuts” or joins the implant to a tooth form called a crown, which replaces the tooth part you see in the mouth.

  6. 6. The custom crown is cemented or screwed onto the abutment to permanently keep it in place and should be indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

FAQ

  • Dentures are often used as a tooth replacement solution because they offer a quick fix and the cost implication isn't as high as that of implant placement.

    However, the extent to which dental implants in Fredericksburg, VA improve your quality of life is way beyond what dentures can do.

    Your ability to chew is better, you don't necessarily risk your implants falling out, and there isn't continued bone degeneration.

  • It starts with a consultation to ascertain what your situation is. For example, do you need a bone graft to improve your bone density?

    There's a careful planning process to ensure all bases are covered and this will be followed with the placement of the implant and the attached abutment.

    Your custom crown will be screened or cemented onto the abutment and the result is almost indistinguishable from the rest of the healthy teeth that you have.
