What are dental implants?

Dental implants are a strong replacement for missing teeth with many benefits. Dental implants can be a permanent or temporary solution for missing teeth that match your natural teeth.

Why choose dental implants?

Implants are great way to replace missing teeth.

Implants are not only used to replace one tooth, but rather people missing most, if not all, of their teeth benefit greatly as well from implants.

The implant is used as an anchor for a naturally-appearing false tooth or a set of false teeth.

Dental Implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth, in contrast with dentures, which need to be removed when sleeping at night.

Implants function in the mouth the same way a natural tooth does.

Implants are being used more and more in place of certain types of bridges and removable partial dentures.

Why choose implants instead of a bridge?

Implants and bridges can be smart solutions for your teeth in different circumstances.

Implants	Fixed Tooth-Supported Bridge
Adjacent teeth are not touched	Adjacent teeth need to be filed down in order for the bridge to rest on them
Adjacent teeth are not touched	If teeth adjacent to the space need crowns, this is a good option
Implants do not put stress on neighboring teeth	Teeth that the bridge rests on may become weaker
Integrates into the bone of your jaw, thereby preserving the bone and preserving esthetics	Bone may deteriorate in the area where your tooth used to be. This may leave a visible defect under your bridge
Easier to clean	Need special floss or floss threaders to maneuver the floss under the bridge
Implant crowns and bridges are not supported by teeth	If proper care is not taken, teeth can decay underneath the bridge, sacrificing the integrity of the entire structure
Can replace one to all your teeth	Is limited in terms of the number of teeth that it can replace.
Minor surgical procedure	No surgery required
A 3-D CT scan is needed	No 3-D CT scan needed
Bone may need to be grafted to the site	No bone graft
Time: may take 4-6 months after implants placed to affix permanent crown/bridge. *In some cases, a temporary crown/bridge may be placed at time of implant placement	A few weeks from start to finish

Why choose implants instead of dentures?

Implants can be a permanent solution when you are missing one or a few teeth.

Implants	Dentures
Permanent	Removable
Are fixed to your mouth, do not move	Over time may start to move around when eating, speaking
Small surgical procedure involved	No surgery
A 3-dimensional CT scan is needed	No 3-dimensional CT scan needed
Bone may need to be grafted to the site	Not needed
Time: may take 4–6 months after implants placed to affix permanent crown/bridge. *In some cases, a temporary crown/bridge may be placed at time of implant placement	A few weeks from start to finish
Can replace one tooth, a few teeth, or all your teeth	Advisable when multiple teeth are missing
Does not rest on natural teeth, thus not straining them	Can place a tremendous amount of stress force on teeth the denture rests on, resulting in mobility of those teeth
No clasps are needed. The fake tooth/teeth themselves are attached by an internal hidden screw	Metal clasps may be visible in the smile

How are dental implants attached in your mouth?

The implant procedure is a minor surgery, where the implants are screwed into your jaw. A 3 to 6 month healing period is often needed before the implant restoration or crown is added to replace the missing tooth or teeth. During this healing time, the bone is allowed to grow in and around the titanium implant giving it a very strong support. The gums heal around the implant as well.

Dental implants can be rejected by the body. If this happens, they are usually they are replaced with another implant of a slightly larger size. The rejection or “failure” rate is minimal, only 1 to 2% of all implant procedures. In some cases you may be instructed not to wear your denture for one day to two weeks after an implant placement. After the implant has “taken” and your mouth has healed to the required level, a very natural-looking crown is placed on the implant.

In some specific cases, a temporary crown or a temporary bridge can be fixed to the implant on the same day the implant is placed in your mouth.

If you are missing just one tooth, we may use a Flipper temporarily to fill the space. A Flipper is a false tooth to temporarily take the place of a missing tooth before the permanent crown is placed on the implant. A Flipper can be attached via either a wire or a plastic piece that fits in the roof of your mouth. Flippers are meant to be a temporary solution while waiting for the permanent crown to be placed over your implant.

Implants are surgically placed into your jaw bone while under anesthesia. It is a very time consuming procedure when having many implants placed. As this procedure is surgical, it is very important to research and find a well credited cosmetic dentist that you are comfortable with. For some people there may be various degrees discomfort or pain after the procedure. This subsides in a couple of days. As with similar types of surgery, temporary bruising and minor swelling may also develop shortly after the procedure.

When is a bone graft used for dental implants?

If you are missing one tooth or even all of your teeth, implants may be an excellent solution for you. So long as you have sufficient levels of bone in the area of the missing tooth to facilitate the anchorage of the implants, this procedure can yield terrific results. If you don’t have enough bone for this purpose, a bone graft may be necessary.

The longer you have been missing teeth, the more the jaw bone shrinks, and the less natural bone will remain in the area to support implants.

A 3-dimensional CT scan is needed in order to determine the height and width of your jaw bone in the area the implant should be placed.

A procedure used to add to the level of the bone in your mouth is known as a bone graft or bone augmentation.

Specific types of bone grafts includes sinus lifts or sinus augmentation. Bone grafting is common with dental implants.

The bone that is used may come from other areas of your mouth, synthetic bone, or even bone from other sources that has been demineralized.

Your dentist will discuss with you which bone combination is best suited for your bone graft augmentation.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Are you experiencing pain in your jaw?

Wisdom teeth are the final teeth to come into an adult’s mouth. When they come in, many people do not have room in their mouth for theses extra four teeth; their jaws are too small.

Many people between the ages of 17 and 21 find themselves requiring the removal of their wisdom teeth in order to prevent pain, infection, or other dental complications in the future.

Why Should I Remove My Wisdom Teeth?

Not counting wisdom teeth, adults with a full set of teeth will have 28 teeth; 14 top teeth and 14 bottom teeth. When we do count wisdom teeth, a full adult set will be 32 teeth in adults; 16 top teeth and 16 bottom teeth.

Because of the lack of sufficient space, wisdom teeth try their best to come into the mouth in any direction that they can: angled or even sideways. Often, these wisdom teeth get stuck under the jaw bone or gums, and need to be removed.

Sometimes, these wisdom teeth try coming into the mouth at such a destructive angle, that they pose a risk for the adjacent second molars. This may also be a reason for these teeth to be removed from your mouth.

The growth of your wisdom teeth may cause you pain or discomfort. This is a sign that your jaw should be examined, and that you may need your wisdom teeth to be taken out.

Wisdom teeth that are improperly positioned in the mouth can cause multiple problems locally and to other important teeth in your mouth. When wisdom teeth partially come into the mouth (partial eruption) a flap of gums (opulerculum) may remain over a section of the tooth.

Food and debris becomes stuck in the pocket of gums and it becomes a great breeding ground for oral bacteria. This can cause not only cavities, but also bad breath; and a painful infection (pericorinitis). Swelling, tumors or cysts may also develop in your jaw surrounding the impacted wisdom tooth. Wisdom tooth extraction (removal) can both prevent the above mentioned problems, and eliminate these problems once they have already started.

How will my dentist know if I need my wisdom teeth out?

Your dentist, Dr. Simone Landau, will examine your mouth. She will check your wisdom teeth, the adjacent teeth, as well as your bite.

A panoramic, digital x-ray_(panorex) will need to be taken in order to evaluate the angulation and position of the roots of your wisdom teeth, as well as their proximity to vital structures, such as your maxillary sinus and inferior alveolar nerve. Early treatment has been shown to advance healing.
