About Dental Implant

 Dental implants are a  great way to replace missing teeth and also provide a fixed solution to having removable partial or complete dentures.  Implants provide  excellent support and stability for these dental appliances.
Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth  (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower  jaw bone by a dentist or Periodontist - a specialist of the gums and  supporting bone. The teeth attached to implants are very natural  looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile. Dental implants are strong and durable and will  last many years.  On occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or  replaced due to normal wear.

Reasons for dental implants:

  • Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth.
  • Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space.
  • Restore a patient’s confident smile.
  • Restore chewing, speech, and digestion.
  • Restore or enhance facial tissues.
  • Support a bridge or denture, making it more secure and comfortable. 

What does getting dental implants involve? 

The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months.

X-rays or Cone beam CT and impressions (molds) are taken of the  jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for  an implant.  While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically  placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself for up to  six months.   Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be  required in order to place the “post or abutment” that will hold the artificial  tooth in place.  With other implants the post and anchor are already  attached and placed at the same time.

After several weeks of healing the artificial  teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor.  Because  several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months  to complete.  After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely  attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to  the patient.

You will receive care instructions when your  treatment is completed.  Good oral hygiene and eating habits, alongside  regular dental visits, will aid in the life of your new implant.

Implant Surgery Instructions

Following dental implant surgery, patients must take detailed care of the area surrounding their new implant.  For the first month the dental implant is still integrating with the bone and tissues so the patient’s care routine will be slightly more involved during this initial period.  Above all, do not disturb the wound in the initial days that follow surgery.  Avoid rinsing, spitting, and touching the mouth for 24 hours after surgery to avoid contaminating or irritating the surgical site.  After dental implant surgery it’s important to follow these care instructions:

  • Antibiotics – Patients should take all prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection at the surgical site.  Twenty-four hours after the surgery, patients should begin using the prescribed oral rinse twice daily alongside a warm      saltwater rinse 4-5 times daily (preferably after every meal/snack).
  • Bleeding - Blood in the patients’ saliva is normal during the first 24 hours      following surgery.  We suggest biting on gauze pads to help control      and lessen blood flow.  Gently bite down on the gauze pad and try to      maintain constant pressure, repeating as often as needed, or until bleeding      lessens.
  • Dealing with pain –Shortly after your dental implant surgery the anesthetic will wear      off.  You should begin taking pain medication before this happens.      Any over-the-counter pain medication can be taken (e.g., Tylenol®,      Aleve®, ibuprofen, etc.).
  • Diet -We recommend an initial diet of soft foods, but patients can resume a normal diet as soon as they feel capable of doing so. Stay hydrated. It is critical that you are drinking plenty of fluids.
  • Hygiene - In order for the dental implants to heal properly, the surgical site must      be kept clean. Continue to brush your teeth as you normally would, but      avoid any sutures and do not brush the implant. The antibiotic and      saltwater rinses will disinfect the implant itself.
  • Swelling – After dental implant surgery some amount of swelling is to be expected. To help minimize swelling, try to keep your head elevated and lower your activity level as much as possible. Use ice packs for the first 48 hours and apply continuously, or as frequently as possible to minimize facial      swelling.
  • Wearing your prosthesis or night guard – Partial dentures, flippers, full dentures,  retainers, or night guards should not be used for at least 10 days following surgery. If there are any special circumstances, our practice will discuss those with you during your pre-operative consultation.
  • Smoking – Smoking after dental implant surgery has an increased risk of infection which also increases the risk of dental implants failing to integrate. We      recommend that patients do not smoke for a minimum of 2 weeks after dental implant surgery.

What does recovery involve?

While each patient’s case is different, recovery after dental implant surgery happens in a series of phases. With your new dental implants, maintaining proper oral hygiene should be your primary focus. In order for the implant to properly fuse with the jawbone, it must remain clean. Also keep in mind that when properly cared for, a dental implant can serve its owner for life.

When maintaining proper hygiene, oral discomfort should gradually lessen. Swelling, bruising, and minor bleeding may still occur. If any pain does continue, feel free to continue using the pain medications.

Healing time differs depending on whether a patient receives immediate crown placement, or waits for the implant to fuse with the jawbone. Your recovery timeframe will depend on your individual case and treatment plan; follow-up appointments will be scheduled accordingly.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.
