What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed in your jaws. They are designed to support a replacement tooth or teeth in the form of a crown, bridge, or denture. To insert the artificial root into the jawbone, you'll undergo a surgical procedure where the titanium post is placed as the new implanted root. Once the jawbone has properly healed, the implants become part of your jawbone, providing permanent support to your new teeth.
Do I Qualify for Dental Implants?
As with any dental procedure, you must meet certain criteria to be a good candidate for dental implants. Whether or not you qualify will depend on your unique oral health situation, but you may qualify for dental implants if you have any of the following conditions:
- You have one or more missing teeth.
- You don't have major oral health issues, such as chronic gum disease or infection.
- The missing teeth have affected your speech and smile.
- Your jawbone is fully grown.
- You have an adequate bone structure that can hold the implants, or you allow a bone graft procedure.
- You are not a regular smoker.
- You are willing to commit several months to the procedure.
Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine whether dental implant restoration is the right solution for you. If you have any questions about your options for replacing missing teeth, don't hesitate to ask.
Preparing For and Receiving a Dental Implant
Whether you are looking for a single-tooth replacement or have multiple missing or damaged teeth, dental implants can work for you. Dr. Wooley and his team work with trusted specialists to provide you with the highest quality of treatment when you receive your implants. Dental implant treatment takes place over several weeks or months from start to finish.
Dr. Wooley will assess your complete oral health to ascertain that you can successfully complete the dental implant procedure. Before our specialists proceed with tooth extraction, bone grafting, or implant placement, they first conduct a comprehensive dental examination. This may include digital images as well as models of your jaws and teeth structure. The specialist will also review your medical history.
Once we've determined the details of your treatment, including your restoration type and the number of implants, the specialist will place your implant posts. We then give the mouth time to heal and wait for the implant post to bond successfully to your jawbone before moving on to the next portion of your treatment. Once the bonding is complete, Dr. Wooley will design your custom restoration using high-quality, lifelike materials. We then place your new restoration in our office, allowing you to leave your appointment with a fully renewed smile.
Reliable Implant-Supported Restorations
At Comprehensive Family Dentistry of Western Springs, we focus mainly on single tooth replacement as a dental restorative procedure for people with damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. We also offer dental bridges and implant-supported partial and full dentures. To determine which option is the best choice for you, Dr. Wooley will evaluate your complete oral health. Not only does he consider any missing teeth, but he also examines your remaining teeth for signs of damage or disease. While we try to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, if a tooth is too damaged to save, extraction and dental implant treatment may be the best option.
