The consequences of missing teeth can extend beyond the obvious aesthetic concerns. When teeth are missing, it can impact various aspects of oral health and overall well-being. One of the primary consequences is the potential for shifting and misalignment of the remaining teeth. The adjacent teeth can gradually drift into the empty space, leading to bite problems, crooked teeth, and difficulty in maintaining proper oral hygiene. Missing teeth also contribute to bone loss in the jaw. When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone no longer receives stimulation from the tooth root, which leads to bone resorption over time. This can result in a sunken facial appearance, compromised support for the lips and cheeks, and potential changes in speech.
Dr. Najar, with his extensive background in general and restorative dentistry, initiates the dental implant journey with a thorough consultation. Using advanced diagnostic tools, including 3D imaging, he assesses the patient’s oral health, jawbone density, and suitability for dental implants. This meticulous planning phase is crucial to determine the optimal placement of titanium implant posts, considering the individual’s unique anatomy. The surgical phase, overseen by Dr. Najar, involves the precise placement of the titanium implant posts into the jawbone. This step is critical for osseointegration, the process by which the implants fuse with the bone, creating a secure foundation for the eventual attachment of the dentures. Dr. Najar’s technical expertise ensures that this phase is executed with precision, laying the groundwork for the long-term success of the dental implants. Once the implants have integrated with the jawbone, Jin You takes over the customization of the dental implant-supported dentures. As our skilled denturist, Jin You employs his technical prowess to design dentures that not only fit securely onto the implants but also harmonize naturally with the patient’s facial features. Technical intricacies, such as achieving proper occlusion and bite alignment, are managed with finesse by Jin You, ensuring a final result that seamlessly blends aesthetics with functionality.

Course of Treatment

Dental Implant Procedure
Dental Implant Procedure
A dental implant is a titanium fixture that is placed into the bone under gums of the mouth. After the implant body is placed the implant will be left untreated for a period of 4-6 months. During this time, the bone will grow around the implant in a process called osseointegration The next step in the process is to attach an abutment to the tooth. This is achieved by exposing the top of the implant and placing the abutment. This is the part of the implant that will support the final denture. Finally, an impression is taken of the mouth and a final restoration is crafted. This restoration will be comfortable and cosmetically pleasing. Your completed implant will be fully functional, allowing you to resume normal activities.
