Some of the most common questions people have about implants and the options available to them are addressed below.
♦ What exactly is a dental implant that I have been hearing so much about?
A dental implant is basically a titanium metal replacement for the actual root of the tooth itself, and it is anchored via being surgically implanted into the patients jawbone.
Approximately two to six months is usually allowed for the body and placement into the jawbone to heal properly, while the bone around the implant is allwoed to fuse to the actual implant through the process known as osseointegration. Once the healing is determined to be completed adequately , the implants are then use to anchor the single or multiple crowns, bridges, or dentures.
In essence, dental implants are the best and most natural replacement for a missing tooth or teeth.

♦ Explain the process entailed in getting dental implants.
The process with Luzana Brignon DDS starts with a complete evaluation of the patients dental and medical history, followed by appropriate x-rays as well as an extensive clinical examination of the patients entire mouth, and more specifically with the missing tooth or teeth area. After the intial assessment is is analyzed, an encompassing treatment plan can be formulated. Implants are then surgically placed into the jawbone itself under local anesthesia.
The determination of the healing time necessary is based on the quantity and quality of bone available, and the individual patients recuperative healing properties, and the type of implant placed is also a contributing factor. Following satisfactory healing, the implant can then be utilized to support the desired crown, bridge, or denture.
♦ What are the different types of dental implants?
Both the endosteal and the subperiosteal implants have been deemed to be acceptable to the paramaters required by the ADA ( American Dental Association ) The most important factor is the determination of whether your jawbone has the necessary bone density, and the health of the adjacent gums also can be of importance. The most prevalent types of impants placed are the endosteal root type, which is basically like a man-made tooth root.
♦ How do I go about starting the process to receive dental implants?
You should select a dentist or dentist team who have the experience and and accumulated knowledge regarding all the aspects related to the treatment. Dr. Brignon and her associates have this knowledge. The dental implant process is a two step process, consiting of the first phase (surgical) and the final step (restorative). In most cases, a dental surgeon such as an oral surgeon or periodontist, conducts the surgical component. There are many more cases, however, as implant dentistry has become more prevalent, where a dentist who specializes in restorative dentistry can peform both aspects of the two procedures.
