What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Over the following few months, your implants will fuse with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for one, several, or an entire arch of replacement teeth. Your new restorations are custom-crafted to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, making them the standard of care in modern tooth replacement.

At Lucas Elite Dental Studio, we offer a full range of implant-supported restorations, including:

  • Single-tooth crowns for individual missing teeth
  • Implant-supported bridges to replace multiple missing teeth in a row
  • Overdentures for improved denture stability and comfort
  • All-on-X restorations to replace a full arch of teeth using strategically placed implants

Planning for a Successful Implant Process

Meticulous planning is key to the success of implant dentistry. We will begin by capturing 3D scans of your teeth and oral structures using our cone-beam CT (CBCT) unit. CBCT scans provide intricate images of your soft tissues, bone structure, nerve pathways, sinuses, and more. They allow us to evaluate your bone health and density, determine the ideal implant position, and minimize the risk of complications. CBCT scans also help us create surgical guides, which ensure your implants are placed with exceptional precision for long-term success.

Having adequate bone density in the area is necessary to provide the needed support for the success of your implant procedure. In cases of bone loss resulting from missing teeth for an extended period, trauma, or periodontal disease, we may recommend a bone graft. The procedure helps rebuild the bone in the area, restoring the foundation needed to support your implant.

What If You Need to Have a Tooth Extracted?

If you need to have a tooth extraction, we may recommend ridge preservation to maintain the shape and density of your jawbone. The procedure involves placing bone grafting material into the extracted tooth's socket, which helps prevent the bone from naturally resorbing and changing in shape. Ridge preservation helps preserve your bone density and quality, ensuring the success of future implant placement.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer a wealth of benefits, including the following:

  • They help prevent bone loss and preserve your facial structure.
  • They provide unmatched strength and durability.
  • They restore your chewing function and enhance your speech.
  • They look and feel like natural teeth, helping you regain your beautiful smile.
  • They keep any remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment.
  • They do not require the reshaping or alteration of adjacent teeth.
  • They have the potential to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
