What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They consist of titanium or zirconia posts surgically placed in the jawbone, providing a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. Once the implant has fused with the surrounding jawbone, an abutment resembling a slender pin or clip is attached to it. This abutment attaches the implant to a crown or dental prosthetic that replaces the visible portion of the missing teeth. Together, the implant, abutment, and crown or prosthetic replace the roots and crowns of the natural teeth.

Once the tooth implants are placed in the jaw, they gradually fuse with the surrounding bone, offering unmatched durability and stability. Dental restorations, whether individual crowns or dental prosthetics such as fixed dentures, are permanently attached and are not removable. Unlike dentures or bridges, restorations are easy to care for and do not shift or pinch.

Dental Implant Evaluation

Before undergoing dental implant treatment, it’s essential to undergo a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Goettisheim will assess your oral health, bone density, and overall suitability for dental implants. This evaluation ensures that you receive personalized treatment designed to achieve optimal results. At your initial evaluation, Dr. Goettisheim will review your options and explain the details of the procedure so you can make an informed decision based on what is best for your oral health and aesthetic goals.

Implant Options

We offer a range of implant options to suit your specific needs and preferences, including:

  • Single Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing a missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth.
  • Implant-Supported Bridges: A secure and stable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth in a row.
  • Implant-Supported Overdenture: A full arch of replacement teeth is supported by several implants (usually between 4 and 8) placed in the jawbone.
  • All-on-4® Dental Implants: This is a revolutionary technique for restoring an entire arch of teeth with just four strategically placed implants.
  • Full Mouth Dental Implants: Comprehensive implant solutions for patients with extensive tooth loss or those seeking a permanent alternative to traditional dentures.

Overview of the Dental Implant Procedure

Dr. Goettisheim’s dental implant procedure is meticulously planned and executed to ensure optimal results. It typically involves the following steps, although the process is tailored for each individual:

  1. Initial Consultation: Dr. Goettisheim will discuss your treatment goals, examine your oral health, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
  2. Implant Placement: Titanium posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone, where they fuse with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration.
  3. Healing Period: Over the next few months, the implants integrate with the jawbone, providing a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth.
  4. Abutment Placement: Once the implants have fully healed, abutments are attached to the implants, supporting the final restorations.
  5. Restoration: Custom-crafted crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely attached to the implants, restoring your smile to its full function and beauty. Your dentist or prosthodontist will craft your permanent restorations.

Getting dental implants is a commitment. The process can take three to nine months, from the first consultation to the final restoration. If bone grafting or other procedures are needed, it can take longer. However, the results can last a lifetime and are the only permanent, natural-looking, and feeling solution available. With a success rate of over 95%, dental implants have become the favorite choice for replacing missing teeth.
