This procedure is a team effort between you, your dentist and your periodontist. Your periodontist and dentist will consult with you to determine where and how your implant should be placed. Depending on your specific condition and the type of implant chosen, your periodontist will create a treatment plan tailored to meet your needs.
✓ Replacing a single tooth: If you are missing a single tooth, one implant and a crown can replace it. A dental implant replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root.
✓ Replacing several teeth: If you are missing several teeth, implant-supported bridges can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots.
✓ Replacing all of your teeth: If you are missing all of your teeth, an implant-supported FIXED bridge or SNAP ON bridge can replace them. Dental implants will replace both your lost natural teeth and some of the roots.
In our clinic we offer the “teeth in a day” protocol of treatment for full arch edentulous sites for more than 10 years with success rates that reach 99%.
We place the implants and deliver a functional and aesthetically pleasing, fixed temporary prosthesis within 24 hours from surgery. Three months later the final prosthesis is delivered by the general dentist of the patient.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
As you know, your own teeth require conscientious at-home oral care and regular dental visits. Dental implants are like your own teeth and will require the same care. In order to keep your implant clean and plaque-free, brushing and flossing still apply!
After treatment, your periodontist will work closely with you and your dentist to develop the best care plan for you. Periodic follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implant, teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy.
