What are Dental Implants?

What exactly are dental implants you might wonder? Dental implants are false tooth roots made of titanium posts that are surgically inserted into your jaw. They act as tooth roots while a restoration is attached to what is called an abutment to restore your missing tooth. Dental implants secure restorations to your jawbone to give you a natural feeling restoration for your missing teeth.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?

Unfortunately, not every patient in Florham Park is a good candidate for dental implants. Dental implants have specific requirements for who can be a candidate.

Requirements Include:

Our Florham Park dentist will determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants during your initial consultation and exam. If you do not have enough bone density in your jaw, we can perform a bone graft for you. Our dentist will let you know if dental implants are right for you.

Dental Implants Procedure

The process for installing dental implants is not difficult, however, it requires patience. First, our dentist will need to complete a dental exam by taking a CT scan. This x-ray will give us all the information we need to place your implants in the correct spot. If any teeth need to be pulled, this will need to happen before your surgery and your gums will need to be completely healed.

Once you have been given the green light for surgery, our dentist will first numb up your mouth using a local anesthetic. From there, she will make an incision in your gums, drill a hole and then fit the implant snuggly in place. Your gums are then stitched over to allow your mouth to heal. Healing will take several months to complete.

Once your gums are healed, we will make a small incision in your gums to expose the implant. From there, we will attach the abutment to the implant, which rests above the gum line. Our dentist will then take impressions of your gums and tooth and send them off to the lab. Once they have returned, our dentist will permanently attach them to the abutment and your smile will be restored.

Benefits of Dental Implants

There are a lot of benefits of dental implants you should know about when choosing them as your treatment. First, patients experience a boost in self-esteem thanks to having a natural feeling and looking restoration in their mouth. You can expect to eat, talk and smile with ease, easily forgetting that you have dental implants in the first place.

Another benefit of dental implants is that your bone density in your jaw continues to grow. This helps you maintain your youthful face and keep your other teeth held in place. If you want the closest thing to a natural tooth, dental implants in Florham Park are the right solution for you.

Dental Implants Aftercare

The last thing you should know about dental implants is how to care for them. Aftercare is imperative for preventing dental implants from failing. To care for your dental implants, we recommend continuing a proper at-home dental hygiene routine including brushing and flossing twice a day. We also recommend that you visit us for your regular dental exam and cleaning every 6 months so that we can ensure your teeth and gums are healthy. If you happen to develop a gum infection, it’s likely that your implants fail. Keep your smile healthy and you can expect your implants to last the rest of your life.

Dentures Procedure in Florham Park

Whether you already have missing teeth or you are visiting our dental office and find out that dentures might be a good option for you, every patient may experience a different type of preparation for dentures. First, Dr. Gohard will examine your mouth to see if you need to have any additional teeth pulled before beginning the dentures procedure. If you have only a few remaining teeth and their future doesn’t look promising, we might recommend having them pulled.

Once Dr. Gohard has declared you a good candidate for dentures, she will provide you with a pair of temporary dentures to wear until your permanent ones arrive from the lab. If you recently had teeth pulled, we will need to wait until your gums completely heal to take impressions for your permanent dentures. While you wait for your permanent pair to return from the lab, you will wear temporary dentures which will help you get used to the feeling of wearing them daily. Once your gums are healed from any extractions you had, our dentist in Florham Park will take impressions of your gums.

When your permanent pair of dentures return from the lab, Dr. Gohard will have you try them on to confirm that they fit correctly. If necessary, she will make adjustments so they fit more comfortably. Once the fit is right, you can be on your way.
