Dental implants are metal anchors that act as tooth root substitutes. They are chemically similar to the titanium alloy metals utilized in orthopedic surgery. They are surgically placed into the jawbone. Once the bone has healed against the implant, small posts are then attached to the implant which protrudes through the gums. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
With advances in implant bio-technology and techniques, the placement of dental implants for many patients involves one surgical procedure only. The implants are placed within your jawbone and a small healing collar is attached, thus, the implants are exposed from the beginning and the need for second stage surgery and healing phase are saved.
In some cases, based on the bone quality and quantity and your habits, the jawbone has bonded to the implant in 2 months period, and your general dentist will be able to start making your new teeth. An impression/mold must be taken. Then posts or attachments can be connected to the implants. The teeth replacements are then made over the posts or attachments. The entire procedure oftentimes takes as little as three to four months.
Occasionally, if the bone and soft tissue quality are not good and if a removable restoration is loading the site, the placement of dental implants involves two surgical procedures. First, implants are placed within your jawbone, and for the healing period, the implants are beneath the surface of the gums gradually bonding with the jawbone. after as little as 2 month and as long as seven month, Dr. Kharmouche will uncover the implants and attaches a small healing collar. After a few weeks your general dentist will be able to start making your new teeth.
The feasibility of the approach to treatment is determined at the time of implant placement surgery by Dr. Kharmouche.
