Whether you're replacing a single tooth or considering a full arch restoration, dental implants provide a foundation that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from biocompatible titanium, which are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or dental restoration. Once the implant is securely integrated into the bone, it provides a stable foundation for various restorations, including dental crowns, bridges, or implant-supported dentures.

Implants are an ideal solution for patients who want a permanent alternative to dentures or bridges. They are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring not only the appearance of your smile but also its functionality.

Dental implants can replace a single tooth, or multiple teeth, or even support a full set of teeth through full arch implant restorations.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options such as dentures and bridges. These benefits include:

• Natural Appearance: Implants are custom-designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth, making them indistinguishable from your existing smile.
• Long-Term Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution for missing teeth in the long run.
• Bone Preservation: When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone begins to deteriorate. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving the structure of your face.
• Improved Functionality: Implants allow you to eat, speak, and chew with the same confidence as natural teeth. You can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about discomfort or slippage, which is common with dentures.
• No Impact on Surrounding Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, which require adjacent teeth to be filed down, dental implants do not affect the surrounding teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

At North Dental, we take a personalized approach to each patient’s dental implant treatment. Whether you need a single implant or a full set of replacements, we work closely with you to design a plan that meets your specific goals and restores your smile.

The Dental Implant Process at North Dental

The dental implant procedure typically takes place over several stages, ensuring that your implant integrates properly and provides a stable foundation for your new tooth or teeth. At North Dental, we make the entire process comfortable and straightforward, guiding you through each step:

1. Consultation and Evaluation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Phillip Moorad will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment goals. We’ll take digital X-rays and 3D scans to assess your jawbone’s density and ensure that you are a good candidate for dental implants.
2. Implant Placement: The implant, a small titanium post, is surgically placed into your jawbone. This step is performed with precision to ensure optimal positioning and comfort. Over the next few months, the implant will integrate with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong foundation.
3. Abutment Placement: Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a small connector called an abutment is placed on top of the implant. This abutment serves as the attachment point for your final restoration, whether it's a crown, bridge, or implant-supported denture.
4. Custom Restoration: After the abutment is placed, we design and create your custom dental restoration. Using high-quality materials, we ensure that your new tooth or teeth blend naturally with the rest of your smile.
5. Final Placement: Once your custom restoration is ready, it is securely attached to the abutment. At this stage, you’ll enjoy the full benefits of your new dental implant, with a restored smile that feels as natural as it looks.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most patients with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density are good candidates for dental implants. However, if you have experienced significant bone loss due to missing teeth, you may require additional procedures such as bone grafting to support the implant.

At North Dental, we assess each patient's individual needs to determine whether dental implants are the right solution. We will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and design a treatment plan that provides the best outcome for your smile.
