WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
- A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown. If you compare natural teeth to implant-supported replacement teeth, you’ll see they have the same basic parts. Both have a crown (the visible part used to chew food). Both have a root that holds the tooth securely under the gum and is anchored into the jaw. The difference is that the implant is made of titanium or zirconia – the same time-tested material used by surgeons for artificial joints. When you lose a tooth, you lose both the root and the crown. To replace the tooth, the surgeon first replaces the root with a dental implant.
- Time is allowed for bone to heal and grow around the dental implant. The bone bonds with the titanium or zirconia (ceramic), creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. A support post (abutment) is then placed on the implant and a new replacement tooth (crown) is placed on top of the abutment. In many cases a temporary replacement tooth can be attached to the implant immediately after it is placed. If all of your teeth are missing, a variety of
treatment options are available to support the replacement teeth.
ADVANCES IN IMPLANT TECHNOLOGY
Using the most recent advances in dental implant technology, Dr. Egolum is able to place single stage implants. These implants do not require a second procedure to uncover them, but do require a minimum of six weeks of healing time before artificial teeth are placed. There are even situations where the implant can be placed at the same time as the tooth extraction – further minimizing your number of surgical procedures.
Dr. Egolum also utilizes cone beam CT imaging and surgical guides to plan and place your dental implants to improve accuracy and success of the implants. Dental implant placement is a team effort between an oral surgeon and your general dentist. Dr. Egolum performs the actual implant placement surgery, initial tooth extractions, and bone grafting if necessary. Your regular dentist fits and makes the permanent prosthesis. Your regular dentist will also make any temporary prosthesis needed during the implant process.
