Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants represent the most advanced solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a permanent foundation that mimics your natural tooth structure. Unlike removable dentures or bridges that depend on adjacent teeth for support, implants integrate directly with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This integration creates a stable foundation that can support a crown, bridge, or even full arch restoration.

 

The implant itself consists of a titanium post that’s surgically placed into your jawbone where your natural tooth root once was. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry reports that within the first three months of tooth loss, you can lose up to 25% of the bone in that area. Dental implants help prevent this bone loss by providing the stimulation your jawbone needs to maintain its density and structure. What makes dental implants particularly appealing is their success rate and longevity. Research published in the National Library of Medicine shows that dental implants have a success rate of 95%, making them one of the most predictable procedures in dentistry. With proper care, implants can last decades, often outlasting other tooth replacement options and providing exceptional long-term value.

Who is a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Not every patient requires complex implant procedures or extensive bone grafting. Many cases can be addressed with simple implant placement, particularly when treatment begins soon after tooth loss. Dr. Gollob evaluates each case individually to determine if you’re a candidate for simple implant procedures based on your bone density, overall health, and specific treatment goals.

 

Ideal candidates for simple dental implants typically have adequate bone density at the implant site and good overall oral health. Patients who maintain excellent oral hygiene and don’t smoke generally experience the best outcomes. However, many factors that might seem like obstacles, such as age or certain medical conditions, don’t necessarily prevent implant treatment when properly managed.

 

The evaluation process includes a detailed examination of your bite, assessment of your remaining teeth, and consideration of your lifestyle and expectations. Dr. Gollob takes time to ensure that implant treatment aligns with your goals and that you understand what the process involves from start to finish.

The Dental Implant Process

Simple dental implant procedures are designed for cases where sufficient bone exists to support immediate implant placement without additional grafting procedures. The process typically begins with comprehensive planning using digital imaging to determine the optimal implant position and size.

 

During the implant placement appointment, Dr. Gollob uses precise surgical techniques to position the titanium implant in your jawbone. Local anesthesia ensures your comfort throughout the procedure, and most patients find the experience much more comfortable than they anticipated. Following placement, the implant needs time to integrate with your bone, typically three to six months, before the final restoration can be attached.

What to Expect During the Dental Implant Treatment

The implant journey involves several phases, each important for achieving optimal results:

 

  • Initial Consultation: Comprehensive examination, imaging, and treatment planning to determine your candidacy and develop your personalized treatment approach
  • Implant Placement: Surgical placement of the titanium implant using local anesthesia and precise techniques for optimal positioning
  • Healing Period: Three to six months for osseointegration, during which the implant bonds with your jawbone to create a stable foundation
  • Restoration Phase: Creation and placement of your custom crown designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and function
  • Follow-up Care: Regular monitoring to ensure proper healing and long-term success of your implant restoration

 

Throughout each phase, our team provides detailed instructions and support to ensure optimal healing and the best possible outcome for your implant treatment.
