Types of Dental Implants

There are a variety of dental implants that can be used individually or in groups to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or a full arch (jaw) of teeth. Depending on your needs and your oral health, we will recommend the appropriate option for the best result.

Standard Dental Implant: Traditionally made from titanium, the implant looks like a threaded post or screw. It is placed into the jawbone and acts as an anchor for whatever your final restoration will be, such as a single crown, a bridge, a denture, or hybrid teeth such as an All-On-Four.

Mini Implants: Also a threaded post, the mini-implant is placed into your jawbone in the same manner as a standard implant. The difference is that is much thinner and the surgery can be much less involved. The mini-implant was traditionally used to help secure dentures but it has evolved into other applications. A consultation and or examination is definitely a requirement to determine if mini implants are right for you.

All-On-Four or Hybrid Implants: This is a technique utilizing 4 to 6 standard implants to secure a full arch (jaw) of teeth in a person’s mouth. If you are missing all of your teeth in the top jaw or bottom jaw, or know that you need to have most or all of these teeth removed, this option might be a perfect solution for you.

Dental Implants What to Expect

The process for dental implants takes place over several months:

Consultation- A consultation will give you the opportunity to meet Dr. Slobodian and discuss your dental health concerns and aesthetic goals. This 45-minute appointment is an opportunity to understand generally what your current condition is, what treatment options exist, and how you might choose to go about and start treatment.

Evaluation- Each patient starts their treatment with a comprehensive evaluation from Dr. Upadya or Dr. Slobodian. The dentist will inspect your teeth, gums, and mouth and determine if dental implants are right for you. It is important that you have adequate bone structure to secure the implant in place. Dr. Slobodian or Dr. Upadya will create a personalized treatment plan.

Implantation – The dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the bone serving as the root of the prosthetic tooth. Strategic planning is crucial to the long-term success and comfort of the final restoration, and unfortunately, this is overlooked by many inexperienced doctors.

Sometimes the restoration of the implant can be performed right away, and other times it requires healing up to 4 months. If necessary, you will be provided with a temporary tooth (or teeth) during the implant healing phase.

Implant Restoration – Once the dental implant has completely healed, your final restoration whether it is a single crown, multiple crowns, dentures, or fixed hybrid can be fabricated.

After Care – Many patients say that they forget they have a dental implant. The dental implant will look and function the same as natural teeth and you will be able to floss and brush the dental implant normally. Routine visits to the dentist will be important to ensure long-term health and function.
