What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are custom artificial teeth that Dr. Trachtenberg attaches directly to your jawbone. Unlike bridges or dentures, implants are fixed in place. There are two parts to a dental implant: the implant itself and the artificial tooth (or crown) secured to it. Implants are recommended when one or more teeth are lost to disease or injury, especially when patients prefer a permanent option over removable solutions. Your mouth and jaw must be healthy enough to support an implant, which means having enough bone in the area.
The Restoration Procedure
Dr. Trachtenberg tailors each implant procedure to your specific needs, and the full restoration takes several appointments. After Dr. Trachtenberg evaluates your oral health, the typical steps include:
- Removing the damaged tooth and preparing the area for the implant
- Bone grafting when needed
- Placement of the implant
- Bone healing and growth around the implant
- Placement of the abutment (the connector piece)
- Attaching the artificial tooth
The number of appointments depends on your overall health and the type of implant. Dr. Trachtenberg tracks your progress over the several months it takes to complete a restoration.
Benefits of Implant Restoration
Dental implants offer several advantages over other tooth replacement options:
- Permanent and secure once fixed into the jawbone
- Helps keep neighboring teeth stable
- Preserves bone and gum tissue
- Reduces ongoing bone loss
- Improves the appearance of your smile
- Lets you chew normally
As with any procedure, there are some risks. Dr. Trachtenberg evaluates your oral health and explains the entire process so you can decide if implant restoration is right for you.
