Tooth Replacement & Dental Implants MI

Why choose Michigan Periodontics for Dental Implants?

Top Reasons To Choose Dental Implants

The restorative dental care is today's state-of-the-art tooth replacement method. It consists of a very small titanium post (the actual  dental implant), which is attached to a lifelike  dental crown. The crown is the only part of this tooth-replacement system that is visible in your mouth. The  dental implant  itself rests beneath your gum line in the bony socket that used to hold your missing tooth. Two, four or more  tooth replacement options can be used to support multiple crowns, or even an entire arch of upper or lower replacement teeth. Whether you are missing one tooth, several teeth or all your teeth,  tooth replacement options  are preferred by doctors and patients alike. That's because  dental implants  are:

1. Most like natural teeth

Your natural teeth have roots that keep them securely anchored to your jawbone. In a similar way,  dental implant 

                                               

teeth form a solid attachment with the bone in your jaw. This is possible because dental implants are made of titanium, a metal that has a unique ability to fuse to living bone. After a  dental implant  is inserted during a minor procedure done in the  dental  office, it will become solidly fused to your bone over a period of several months. Once that happens, your  dental implant  -supported replacement tooth (or teeth) will feel completely natural. It will also be visually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. Dental implant teeth allow you to eat, speak and smile with complete confidence because they will never slip or shift like removable dentures often do.

2. The longest-lasting tooth replacements with Dental Implants

Because  dental implants  actually become part of your jawbone, they provide a permanent solution to tooth loss. Whereas other methods of tooth replacement, including removable dentures and bridgework, may need to be replaced or remade over time, properly cared-for  dental implants  should last a lifetime. That's what makes  implant solutions choice of tooth replacement the best long-term value.

                                                                   

3. Able to prevent bone loss

You may not know it, but bone loss inevitably follows tooth loss. Bone is a living tissue that needs constant stimulation to rebuild itself and stay healthy. In the case of your jawbone, that stimulation comes from the teeth. When even one tooth is lost, the bone beneath it begins to resorb, or melt away. This can give your face a prematurely aged appearance and even leave your jaw more vulnerable to fractures if left untreated long enough (View Example).  Implant solutions halt this process by fusing to the jawbone and stabilizing it. No other tooth replacement method can offer this advantage.

4. Safe for adjacent natural teeth

 Dental implants  have no effect on the health of adjacent natural teeth; other tooth-replacement systems, however, can weaken adjacent teeth. With bridgework, for example, the natural teeth on either side of a gap left by a missing tooth must provide support for the  dental  bridge. This can stress those adjacent teeth and leave them more susceptible to decay. Likewise, a partial denture relies on adjacent natural teeth for support and may cause those teeth to loosen over time.  Tooth replacement options  are stand-alone tooth replacements that don't rely on support from adjacent natural teeth. 
                                                         

5. Easy to care for Dental Implants

Caring for  dental implant  teeth is no different than caring for your natural teeth. You must brush them and floss them daily. But you'll never have to apply special creams and adhesives or soak them in a glass overnight, as you would with dentures. They'll also never need a filling or a root canal, as the natural teeth supporting bridgework might. While implants  can never decay, they can be compromised by gum disease. Good oral hygiene and regular visits to the  dental  office for professional cleanings and exams is the best way to prevent gum disease, and to ensure your implant solutions last a lifetime, as they're designed to do.

A dental Implant is a fixed solution that acts like a real tooth. It allows you to enjoy the foods you love and prevent further bone loss while restoring your full smile.

Dental Implant Procedure

For most patients, the placement of dental implants involves two steps:

• First, implants are placed within your jawbone. This procedure is performed with local anesthesia (numbing) for your comfort. Sedation options are also available. After the procedure, if discomfort is present, it is generally mild and usually controlled with over-the-counter medication such as Advil or Tylenol. For the first three to six months following the surgery, dental implants are beneath the surface of the gums, gradually bonding with the jawbone. Your family dentist or one of our doctors can provide you with a replacement tooth.
• Second, the implants are uncovered after they have bonded to the jawbone. Dr. Basam M Kiniaia will uncover the implants and attach a small healing collar. After a few weeks, you will see your general dentist, who will make and connect your new teeth to the implants. The entire procedure usually takes from three to eight months. Most patients do not experience any disruption in their daily life.

What Types of TEETH are Available?

• A single crown replaces one missing tooth – each tooth attaches to its implant.
• A partial prosthesis (fixed bridge) replaces multiple teeth and may require only two or three implants.
• A complete dental prosthesis (fixed bridge) replaces all your upper or lower jaw teeth.
• The number of implants varies.  
• A removable prosthesis (overdenture) requires fewer implants

A fixed prosthesis: is permanent and removable only by a professional Dr. Basam M Kiniaia performs the implant procedure in the office, and most patients return to daily activities. Dr. Basam M Kiniaia has received extensive training in Dental Implantology. Through continuing education, we are abreast of the most current information on implant dentistry.
