Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most stable and best solution for replacing missing teeth and the procedure is one which Dr. Heidari has done repeatedly for many years. A dental implant will restore lost chewing ability, improve appearance, end embarrassment, and give real self-confidence to patients who need them. They are a real breakthrough!
A dental implant is a bio-compatible, man-made substitute to replace missing tooth roots. The inner part resembles a screw and is made of titanium alloy which is inserted into the jaw and over time fuses with the surrounding bone. The visible part is generally made of porcelain crown material and resembles a natural tooth.
Dental implants differ from dentures and bridges in that they are inserted directly into the bone as a stand alone solution for missing tooth replacement. It is because of this that dental implants are rapidly becoming the procedure of choice among those who have suffered from tooth damage or tooth loss.
Because of proven success, preservation of existing teeth, and no susceptibility to dental decay (cavities), dental implants are becoming the professions' preferred method over the more traditional dentures and partials.
The Procedure
The implant procedure is the same whether one or all of the teeth are missing. A special drill is used to prepare the bone to receive the implant. After the bone has been prepared, the implant is placed and the tissue is sutured.
The Result
A renewed smile and a restored ability to chew!
