Questions And Answers About Dental Implants

As dental implants become very popular in aesthetic dentistry, there are many questions about them.
We ask the questions, and professional implantologist Dr Valdas Labanauskas provides the answers.
What are dental implants?

Implants are devices that replace the roots of missing teeth, and are used to support crowns, bridges or dentures. Implants are placed in your jawbone surgically. Most of the time, implants feel more natural and secure than other methods of replacing missing teeth, such as dentures.
Why might you need one?

Bone loss, gum disease, an infection can make teeth get looser. In later life, the primary reason is bone loss.
Is the implantation procedure painful?

Since dental implants are usually inserted under local anesthesia, you should not feel anything during the procedure. If you do feel any discomfort after implant placement, your doctor can provide you with solutions.
Do dental implants ever fail?

Dental implant treatment is one of the most successful procedures in the medical/dental field, with documented success rates over 95%. Although successful treatment is very predictable, there are rare occasions where the bone does not completely bond to the implants. When this occurs, new implants are placed. Smoking or putting too much pressure on newly placed implants, as with excessive grinding of the teeth, can cause problems with the bone bonding to the implants, and should be avoided.
How long does it take?

To complete treatment can take from 4 to 6 months and in some cases, longer. It should be understood that this procedure is advanced and can be a longer process than usual to assure it's success.
Are there age restrictions for receiving implants?

In principle, dental implants are suited for adult patients of almost any age. Implants are not for use on children and growing adolescents, as implants would interfere with growth of the jaw.
How many teeth can be replaced by implants?

One, two or all teeth. For instance, a person that wears dentures can have 10 implants placed in the upper jaw and 8-10 implants in the lower jaw. Porcelain fixed teeth similar to the natural teeth can be fixed on these implants. There is nothing in dentistry that resembles and feels as natural as implant supported porcelain teeth.
How strong will my dental implant be?

After your dental implant has been placed and it has fused to the bone, your dental implant will function and feel like your natural teeth. In fact, many people find that their dental implants are not only as strong as their natural teeth, but are stronger than their other teeth.
How long do implants last?

Long-term studies of implants have shown that implants can last as long as 20 - 25 years. Your own personal success will be influenced by factors related to your general health (including smoking, grinding, and oral hygiene). With an evaluation prior to treatment, the probability of success is high.
How much does implant treatment cost?

Since each patient has different needs and priorities, dental implant treatments and the corresponding costs differ as well. You should receive a cost estimate from your dentist when he/she decides what treatment is right for you. Some of the factors that influence the costs are: The number of implants needed. The type of replacement teeth desired. Additional procedures that may be necessary to enhance the look and feel of your facial expressions. It is important to consider long-term versus short-term costs when making a decision about tooth replacement. Dental implant treatment may be a larger initial investment, but it is frequently a more cost-effective solution in the long term.
When can I return to work after implant surgery?

You can go to work the next day, unless some particular surgical circumstance arises. Your implant dentist will discuss all postoperative instructions with you.
How will dental implants improve my life?

Dental implants provide a more stable and natural feeling than loose dentures. You will be able to eat virtually any food with ease, comfort, and confidence. you will notice an improvement in your appearance, and possibly, in your speech. Many patients find these improvements enhance their self-image and self-confidence.

Quick Review of Dental Implants

Dental implants are gradually replacing bridges, dentures, and crowns because they are more secure and look more natural than those alternatives, and spare their wearers from having to use messy adhesives and be regularly refitted like bridges and dentures may.
Anyone who has lost some teeth is at risk for having the jawbone where the natural teeth were situated begin to erode, and that erosion can become so serious that it may require a bone graft to make the jawbone dense enough to withstand the insertion of the dental implant rod.
Types Of Dental Implants
The most commonly used type of dental implant is the root-form implant, which fuses a small titanium rod within the jawbone, and when the patient has recovered from that procedure, has a collar-like extension attached to the rod. This extension will be the base to which the actual prosthetic ceramic tooth is attached.
All successful dental implants rely on a process known as osseintegration, during which the inert titanium rod bonds with the jawbone. Titanium replaced the steel used in very early dental implants because, unlike steel, titanium does not trigger the rejection response in the human body. Root-form dental implants have been in use for over four decades, but now there are also Ramus frame, blade form, and subperiosteal dental implants and many different dental implant manufacturers.
Success Rates Of Dental Implants
The number of dental implant surgeries performed in America each year has
been rising steadily since the American Dental Association gave them it nod of approval in the mid-1980s, and the estimates are that now there are between there and four hundred thousand dental implant procedures in the US every year.
The overall success rate for all root-form dental implants is right around 90%, but the success rate for implants done to replace molars is about 85% while that of dental implants replacing front teeth is closer to 95%. The extra stress placed on implanted molars from chewing undoubtedly ahs something to do with their lower (but still remarkably good) success.
If a dental implant is going to fail, the odds are overwhelming that it will fail in the first twelve months of use. Only one in every one hundred dental implants fails after that.
Costs Of Dental Implants
You can expect to pay more for a dental implant than you would for a bridge, with dental implants ranging in price from a thousand to twenty-five hundred dollars. The wide variance in prices will depend on the complexity of the implant procedure, with implants which require bone grafts being the most expensive. Dental implants are seldom covered by dental insurance, but you may be covered if you need a dental implant as the result of an accident.

Mini Dental Implants a Way to a Younger You

"For 45 years she always had that glow in her eyes that always reminded me of the beautiful woman that I decided to marry. But for years since she had that problem, she was never the same woman as she once was, " Phyllis Hicks' husband recounted.
Amidst Phyllis' almost perfect life, she always knew that she would never be the same person as she once was, back in the days when her smile could still brighten up an entire gloomy room. She knew that the moment she lost all of her teeth. Eventually, the bones that supported her denture slowly disappeared. Because of the changes in the structure brought upon by the loss of the main framework in her mouth, her denture did not fit perfectly anymore. This led to a constant soreness caused by the every now and then rubbing of her denture.
"I felt older because I looked older. Deep wrinkles started to appear over the years together with the sagging of my face. Being the optimistic and joyful person that I am, I tried keeping a positive attitude amidst all. However, my constant paranoia of my denture flying out of my mouth whenever I was with people and the feelings of uneasiness because of the soreness in my mouth kept me at bay."
Thankfully Phyllis' worries were not meant to be forever. She was actually able to find a solution that many thought was impossible, well, at least 20 years ago. When she tried it out, her friends even wondered and gossiped about her getting a plastic surgery because she actually did look like 10 years younger. They did not know that all she did was restore what she always had - a nice perfect set of teeth that brought back not just her smile or the twinkle in her eyes. It also brought back the real Phyllis Hicks. All this she owes to that day when she decided to have Mini Dental Implants.
So what do these Mini Dental Implants do and how different are they from the dental implants that we already know?
These implants stabilize a person's dentures of missing teeth. How Mini Dental Implants do it is simple. The same with what happened to Phyllis' bone structures, as the years passed, when we loose our teeth, the bones that support them also disappear. So, when Mini Dental Implants are placed in our mouth, they provide a new base and support to make the denture stable. This keeps wrinkles from getting deeper and faces from sagging.
Mini Dental Implants are the latest dental procedure that can help people who have problems with ill-fitting dentures and teeth loss. It is easy and affordable and what makes it great is that you can use them right away. Mini Dental Implants are usually placed in the morning, and when lunch time comes you can already enjoy a good steak!
Do not keep yourself in the shadows of shame just because of your denture problems. If your denture makes you uncomfortable, do not suffer. Go to a dentist and have your own set of Mini Dental Implants.
Phyllis endured her problem for 20 years because a solution was not yet available. Do not make yourself go through what she did. The solution is within your reach.

Loose Denture Solution - A New Standard of Care?

Do you suffer from a loose lower denture or have a family member who is having a rough time wearing their denture?

 Unfortunately, this is a common problem. When all of the lower teeth are missing, little remains to stabilize or retain the denture.

 An upper denture actually creates some suction on the roof of the mouth and will generally hold well. Not so, with the lower denture. First of all, the tongue has a tendency to displace it and because the surface area that the denture rests upon is generally narrow - there is little surface tension to hold it in place. 

Many denture wearers have to rely on adhesives to keep their dentures from flopping around while they speak or eat. In a number of cases, even these adhesives fall short of their objective. Not to mention the fact that many patients find the adhesives unpalatable and some concerns have been recently raised about zinc sensitivities and copper deficiencies associated with these products. 

Eating with full lower dentures can become difficult or even painful. Patients often opt not to wear their lower dentures at all out of frustration or embarrassment. Unfortunately, this can make it difficult to eat certain foods that are needed for good nutrition and health.

Numerous remedies have been forwarded to solve the problem in addition to adhesives. For example, relines can create an improved fit but they still don't overcome the inherent problems described above. Then, there are dentures that are designed to look like they have octopus suction cups on the bottom, dentures with valves to suck out the air that gets under them, and dentures that have little "wings" on them that hold the denture down by the weight of the tongue.

Probably the greatest advance in denture stability, however, has been the development of dental implants. If a person has enough bone that is of good quality (not too soft) to accept implants, little comes close to these to provide both retention and stability for a loose lower denture. Also, much of the pain associated with dentures moving around and creating sore gums is eliminated because the denture is actually supported by the implants.

But what if you have been told you are not a candidate for conventional implants because of insufficient bone? Countless patients have still been able to benefit from mini-implants.

 These are extremely small (1.8 mm diameter) implants that can be used for critically needed support purposes. Mini-implants can and do serve as long-term devices. In fact, some have been successfully functioning in patients for decades.

 Because they are so narrow, they can typically be inserted directly through the overlying gum tissue into the bone underneath. This means that the procedure is generally much more comfortable for the patient because (in most cases) there is no need to surgically cut open the gum tissue - routinely required for standard implant cases. As a result, post-operative patient irritation and soreness is significantly reduced.

It should be mentioned that no implant system is fool-proof or has any guarantee of longevity. Such factors as poor oral hygiene, poor health, stress-inducing habits such as tooth grinding and clenching, smoking, poor health, osteoporosis, medications, and lack of follow-up care can all lead to potential failure of the implants. Compared to conventional implants, however, the cost of replacement is generally much smaller and with less bone loss and gum deterioration. Failures involving mini-implants are not unheard of, but are generally quite rare.

As you might expect fees vary from doctor to doctor and by geographic location. Generally, though, the fees tend to be a lot lower than for conventional implants - with similar results, less discomfort and much shorter waiting times. The best way to address the cost issue is to have an open and honest discussion about what fees may arise with the dentist of your choice.

Many dentists now consider an implant-stabilized lower denture the new "standard of care." By choosing this option you are deciding upon an improved way of life that is free of so many of the heartaches and discomforts associated with loose, painful and ill-fitting dentures. Because people need to use their teeth each and every day of their lives, that's worth a great deal.

Dental Implants An Ideal Way to Repair a Smile

Many people have experienced the loss of teeth due to a variety of reasons. This can lead to embarrassment or discomfort and even difficulty eating. Dental implants are an ideal way to counter tooth loss. The procedure is categorized as a form of prosthetic dentistry and cosmetic dentistry at the same time.

 

Any individual who has undergone the loss of teeth has a variety of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth. While they all work to a degree, no method has proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. They are so durable that, in many cases, they may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.

 

Teeth are lost through a variety of causes. These include:

 

- Tooth decay

- Root canal failure

- Periodontis/gum disease

- Trauma to the mouth

- Excessive wear and tear

- Birth Defects

 

The advantages of implant dentistry are numerous. For starters, the implants are stronger and more durable than restorative counterparts like bridges and dentures. Next, implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss. Furthermore, implants can be used with other restorative procedures for maximum effectiveness. As an example, a single implant can serve to support a crown replacing a single missing tooth. Implants can also be used to support a dental bridge or with dentures to increase stability and reduce gum tissue irritation.

 

Recent procedural advancements, like narrower mini implants, mean that more people are candidates for implants than ever before. While this is true, candidacy still varies so a dentist may determine that a patient should opt for an alternative restoration. Also, dentists do not need a specific license in order to perform implant dentistry. Prosthodontists are the specialists who often perform this procedure. Periodontists and oral surgeons perform the implant surgical procedure itself.

 

The dental implant process begins with preparing the jaw. A small diameter hole is drilled where there is not a tooth in order to guide the titanium screw that holds a dental implant in place. Once the screw is in place, it is given time to mold with the jaw. During this time, a protective cover screw is placed to allow the site to heal.

 

After several months, the cover is removed and a temporary crown is placed on top of the implant. The temporary crown acts as a guide for the gum to grow and shape itself in a natural way. The process is complete when the temporary crown is replaced with the permanent crown.

Single Tooth Implants Chula Vista, SA

When a patient needs a tooth replaced, we often recommend dental implants.  Made of an extremely strong and durable metal called titanium, the single-tooth dental implant will stabilize your bite, help prevent possible speaking or chewing difficulties and maintain your beautiful smile.

 

A missing tooth can change the alignment of your bite, which may cause jaw joint discomfort.  In addition, your surrounding teeth can shift which may create spaces where harmful plaque and tartar collect.  Over time, this may lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

Mini Implants Changed Her Life San Diego

I’ve had dentures since I was about 25, after a difficult pregnancy; so for the past 35 years, I’ve suffered with loose lower dentures which caused embarrassment when they would pop out when I threw my head back and laughed, or kissed, constantly had food caught under them.  I was in pain from sores caused by the loose dentures and my habit of gritting my teeth only made the ulcers happen more frequently.  This caused me to remove the dentures and quite often I would forget to put them back in when I went out causing even more embarrassment.

 

 

Having Fibromyalgia, I was scared about getting anything done, I’m so sensitive to pain, but Dr. Aldo and all his staff were friendly, supportive, and he was so quietly spoken, gentle and a real calming influence. So I had Mini Implants put in, to hold my dentures in place. Within an hour I was walking out of the Bonita Del Rey Dental Office with snug fitting dentures.

 

Within a few days I could eat pop-corn, crackers, cold cereal with sugar, even an apple after a week or so. Now the only time my lower dentures are removed is to clean them, I even sleep in them.

 

I recommend these Mini Implants to hold lower dentures snugly in the mouth to anyone, and you won’t beat Dr Aldo Espinosa, for either a gentle painless procedure or for price.

Cosmetic Benefits of Dental Implants

Health and Cosmetic Benefits of Dental Implants

You may be wondering why more and more dentists are advocating dental implants over traditional bridgework and dentures. Perhaps you're baulking at the cost and wondering "What exactly will a dental implant do for me?"

Dental implants have several benefits you might not be aware of:

 

Dental Implants Restore your Taste

With a dental implant you can chew and swallow foods without pain or discomfort. In contrast, a full upper denture covers your palette and reduces your sense of taste. Replacing your upper denture with dental implants allows you to once again taste and enjoy your favorite foods.

 

Dental Implants Improve your Confidence

With ordinary dentures your jawbone shrinks and the denture slips out of place, sliding and wobbling in the mouth and causing great discomfort and pain. Your facial muscles struggle to hold the dentures in place, resulting in muscle stress, more pain, and slurred or mumbled speech. The shrinking jawbone muscles give you a lopsided smile and aged face.

Because dental implants are anchored in the jaw itself, they don't move. Goodbye forever, gum irritation and muscle stress! You can smile, talk and sing naturally. Dental implants feel like your natural teeth.
