Dental Implants
Dental implants probably are the most exciting and life changing procedure in dentistry. It is now possible to replace one or more missing teeth with natural looking and feeling dental implants and keep them for many years. They are the most reliable solution nowadays for teeth replacement, having a very high success rate.
Dental implants are aimed to:
- Improve patients comfort and confidence
- Improve chewing function
- Improve smile
- Preserve jawbone
Implants are, essentially, titanium made tooth roots, placed in the jawbone, and they are used to support teeth function.
A complete dental implant consists of three components:
- The dental implant (a titanium screw)
- The implant abutment (a titanium made post like structure,connecting implant to crown)
- The crown (made of porcelain)
Dental implants have numerous possible applications:
- To replace one or more teeth without affecting adjacent teeth
- To support fixed bridges or replace a removable partial denture
- To help support or secure upper or lower full denture.
Generally, person needs to be in good overall health, as well as heaving healthy mouth in order to be a good candidate for dental implants. Active periodontal (gum) disease, smoking, poor oral hygiene, certain medications can have a negative effect on dental implant treatment. Just like natural teeth, implants require a thorough oral hygiene at home, and regular dental check-ups.

That is the permanent solution for missing teeth. It replaces several teeth in a raw, and gives a great permanent and natural looking alternative to full and partial dentures.
Additional procedures in implant dentistry by Hawthorne Dental Associates:
- Bone Grafting: Bone grafting treatment is often used to prepare the jaw bone for an implant, or rebuild bone lost to periodontal disease or tooth extraction. This procedure helps maintain width and volume of bone for eventual implant placement.
- Sinus Grafting: This procedure is required when the amount of bone available for implant placement in posterior upper jaw is limited due to sinus proximity. During this procedure, bone grafting material is added to the floor of the sinus to help in creating bone volume.
