What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants come in several parts. First is the implant, which is a small post, usually made of titanium, that serves as a substitute for missing tooth roots. Next is a connector, known as an abutment, that’s built into or placed on your implants, holding your implant restoration in place.
At Periodontics of Orange County, we offer a range of implant restoration options, including crowns for single tooth implant restorations, implant-supported bridges, overdentures, and All-on-X implant restorations. Whether you are missing one, several, or an entire arch of teeth, implant dentistry may be the perfect solution for you.
A Collaborative Approach to Implant Placement
At Periodontics of Orange County, we collaborate with your general dentist during the entire process. Dr. Lacrampe, our experienced periodontist, will place one or more implants with skill and expertise. He takes the time to create a solid foundation rather than go back and address complications. Dr. Lacrampe is conservative in his approach, ensuring your mouth has time to heal in every step to deliver the best possible outcomes for your smile.
Planning Your Dental Implant Placement
Your implant procedure will begin with meticulous planning to ensure its success. Dr. Lacrampe will start by capturing 3D scans of your teeth and oral structures with the help of our state-of-the-art cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) unit. The detailed images help evaluate your soft tissues, nerve pathways, sinuses, and bone density, allowing Dr. Lacrampe to plan your implant placement.
Your Dental Implant Process
Dr. Lacrampe will administer local anesthesia for your comfort. He may also recommend dental sedation to ensure you relax while receiving exceptional care. Once you are ready, Dr. Lacrampe will place one or more dental implants in your jawbone to address your unique needs.
As the area heals in the following 3-4 months, your implants will integrate with the surrounding bone in a biological process known as osseointegration, providing a secure foundation for your replacement teeth. Once your implant is stable, your general dentist will create restorations that closely mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth. Dental implants offer superior outcomes, delivering results second only to natural, healthy teeth.
At Periodontics of Orange County, we guarantee the exceptional quality of our implants by offering a five-year warranty. We conduct annual checkups and maintenance on your implants, and should any issues or concerns arise, we address them promptly at no added cost to you.
