What Are Your Dental Implant Options?
The following are the dental implant options we offer:
- Single Implants: A dental crown placed on an implant offers an excellent solution for replacing a missing tooth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges: Implant bridges are ideal for replacing multiple teeth in a row, relying on dental implants on either side of the gap for support.
- Overdentures: These removable, implant-supported dentures "snap" onto a few dental implants placed in your jawbone, providing a more stable and functional alternative to traditional dentures.
- All-on-X Implants: All-on-X implants offer a superior full-arch restoration solution, supported by as few as four implants per arch.
Whether you are missing a single tooth or an entire arch, our team provides complete implant care from start to finish.
Preparing for Dental Implant Placement
At Aria Smile, we believe that meticulous planning leads to predictable results. Here is a look at how we prepare for your implant process:
- CBCT Scan: We typically start by capturing 3D images of your mouth and jaw using CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography). The intricate scans help us visualize critical structures, such as nerve pathways, sinuses, bone density, and more, allowing us to plan your implant placement with precision.
- Surgical Guides: We use the images captured by our CBCT unit to create custom surgical guides in-house. Computer-guided implant surgery offers an exceptional level of precision, helping ensure the procedure's safety and long-term success.
- Bone Graft: Adequate bone quality and density are critical for the success of your implant procedure. If you have bone loss in the area, we may recommend a bone graft to create a solid foundation for your implants, ensuring their stability and longevity.
- Sinus Lift: If you lack sufficient bone height in your upper jaw or if bone loss extends into your sinus cavity, we may recommend a sinus lift. The procedure involves raising your sinus membrane and placing a bone grafting material to augment the deficient bone, creating the space needed for successful implant placement.
What Is the Dental Implant Process?
Once you are ready for implant placement, Dr. Petrova will use your custom surgical guides to place your implants with exceptional accuracy and precision. As the area heals, the implant will fuse with the bone in a process known as osseointegration that may take a few months, creating a secure foundation for your replacement teeth.
Once the area has fully healed, we will capture digital impressions of your mouth, which we use to create your new implant crown, bridge, overdenture, or All-on-X restoration. The last step is securing your new replacement to your implants, restoring your healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the tooth replacements that most closely mimic nature's design. They offer numerous benefits, including the following:
- They Restore Strength and Stability: Dental implants fuse directly with your jawbone, providing a solid foundation for one, several, or a complete arch of teeth.
- They Preserve Your Jawbone Health: Implants act like natural tooth roots, helping prevent the bone loss that occurs after tooth loss, and maintaining your facial structure.
- They Enhance Appearance and Confidence: Your new implant restorations will provide a seamless match to your natural teeth, restoring your beautiful, natural-looking smile.
- They Restore Function: With dental implants, you'll speak clearly, indulge in the foods you love, and smile with confidence once again.
- They Offer Long-Lasting Value: Dental implants are highly predictable and successful, and with proper care, they can last decades or even a lifetime!
