What Goes into the Placement of Dental Implants?

e.s.i. Healthy Dentistry emphasizes patient comfort and care. Comfort can come in many forms, but e.s.i.’s Dr. Kilimitzoglou understands that oral comfort can come from both oral health and a neat, healthy appearance.
Dental implants are essentially replacement teeth, and come with plenty of cosmetic benefits for those with damaged teeth. They are also very functional and work no differently than normal teeth. Because dental implants are actually fused to the bone, they are an appealing and longer-lasting alternative to dentures or dental bridges. Employing the use of CT scans has even allowed e.s.i. to plan dental implant surgery virtually, which has tremendous positives for surgery accuracy.
There are various technologies that e.s.i. uses such as the same-day dental implants known as Teeth-in-an-Hour™, however, not everyone is eligible. Seriously decayed bone health typically requires traditional implant surgery. This is done over the course of several visits, which includes the inserting of a small titanium piece to function as a new tooth root.
The properties of titanium creates an unparalleled strength in one’s new implant, as it is able to fuse with the original bone overtime. This is a strength that dentures and bridges simply cannot compete with.
Depending on the amount of teeth being replaced, procedure times vary. Typically, it will take 3-6 months for a bone to grow into a patient’s implant. This is a long healing process, but is overall worth the wait for the strength of this new implant. A replacement tooth will then follow this healing process, and at e.s.i. this replacement is seamless with the rest of your teeth.
For those who may need dental implants, having the right team behind your procedures is key. You can find expertise and skill at e.s.i. Healthy Dentistry.
