Periodontist
A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the gums and other structures that support the teeth. The focus of periodontal treatment is to prevent, diagnose and treat the gums and teeth. Treatment methods can include scaling and root planing, deep cleaning, antibiotics, surgery, and other preventive measures.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. They are a popular and effective option for replacing missing teeth and restoring function and aesthetics to the mouth.
Our Services
Dental Implants
- Initial Consultation: The patient will have an initial consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon to determine if they are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
- Surgery: The implant, which is a small titanium post, is surgically placed into the jawbone by a qualified dental professional. Depending on the case, the implant may be placed in one or multiple stages.
- Osseointegration: The implant is allowed to integrate with the jawbone over a period of several months. This process, known as osseointegration, allows the implant to become a stable base for the replacement tooth or bridge.
- Abutment Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone, an abutment, which is a connector piece, is placed on top of the implant.
- Restoration Placement: The final step is to place the replacement tooth, which is usually a dental crown, on top of the abutment. This can be done after a period of healing, usually several weeks.
The whole process can take several months and multiple visits to the dentist, but the end result is a stable and natural-looking replacement for the missing tooth.
It is important to note that dental implants are a surgical procedure, and as such, it’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if it is the right option for you and to understand the potential risks and benefits.
