Missing teeth affect a person's appearance, the ability to speak and chew, and general dental health. Many people who have lost teeth would like new teeth that are attractive, natural and comfortable. Others, who have worn removable bridges or dentures, wish to have the security of fixed (stationary) teeth. Dental implants have made this possible. Over the last 15 years, dental implants have grown to be an effective and reliable means of replacing missing teeth and securing bridges and dentures. In expert hands, it is a highly successful technique that has improved the quality of life for many people.
A dental implant has two main components: an anchor which is placed in the bone (the implant itself), and the custom-made tooth (or teeth) which is attached to it.
In the first phase, the implant itself is placed under the gum in the bone. This procedure is done comfortably while the area has had a local anesthetic. There is no sensation that an implant is present - it becomes a completely accepted part of the body. Often, Dr. Woloch will replace the missing teeth on a provisional, or temporary, basis prior to or shortly after the implants are placed.
A period of 12 weeks or more is generally used to allow the bone to adapt to and secure the implant. After this period, the teeth or bridge will be made and Dr. Woloch will secure them to the implants. Once the teeth are in place, you will have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Woloch where he will make any necessary refinements.
Age is not a consideration in implants - they have been successfully used in young people as well as persons of advanced age. A thorough assessment is necessary before beginning the process. This will include a complete medical history, an exam, x-rays, impressions (molds) of the teeth and gums, and possibly a CT scan (Computed Tomography). After a careful evaluation, Dr. Woloch will discuss the number and type of implants that would be best for your particular situation. Options other than implants will also be presented.
Good oral hygiene, and a commitment to regular dental checkups are critical to the long-term success of the procedure. With the techniques and materials available today, and proper long-term care, implants can last as long as a natural tooth.
All surgical procedures hold some potential for complications. Implant surgery is generally considered a minor procedure of relatively low risk. Minor complications may occur which require additional treatment to correct.
