Doctor Todd Resek on placing implants with cone beam technology at Oakmont Advanced Dentistry

My favorite new piece of equipment is our cone beam CT scan. We place dental implants in our office and it gives us a 3D view into your jaw. Traditionally, dentists and surgeons placed implants off of a 2D Panorex, and dentists did a great job doing it. 3D just gives us one extra dimension. So when I do an implant, I will plan your implant on the computer with high tech software, and we will do the implant on the computer, and I will create a surgical guide based on the computer model and then we will just simply replicate it in your mouth to keep it reasonably quick and simple for you. The cone beam has allowed us to see hidden pathology around root canals that could not be discovered before. It's really opened up a whole new avenue of discovery in my dental office, and I am proud to be one of the few dentists around that have it.

Restore Your Smile & Protect Your Jawbone With Implants

Teeth implants are titanium inserts that function like replacement tooth roots. Your dentist will place them in your jaw where they chemically bond with your bone. They serve as an excellent base for different tooth restorations.

In addition, implants will stimulate your jaw to produce new bone cells. When you lose a tooth and its roots, your jawbone in that area will slowly begin to resorb, or deteriorate. If you lose enough teeth, your facial structure can actually change over time, giving you a “sunken-face” appearance that will make you look several years older. New implants will help preserve your bone just like your natural teeth do.

Along with a complete examination, we’ll use a cone beam CT scanner to determine if you’re a good candidate for traditional dental implants. If you’re not, then mini implants may be a good option for you. They are smaller and require less bone to fuse with. If needed, we can also perform a bone graft to help your jawbone grow new bone cells.

Select From Several Types of Implant Restorations

Below are a few of the dental implant options available to you at Oakmont Advanced Dentistry:

  • Implant Crowns – To replace a single tooth, your dentist can mount a beautiful porcelain crown to the top of your implant. It will match the color of your existing teeth, so it will blend in naturally for an aesthetically pleasing look. An implant crown will restore about 90 percent of your biting and chewing capacity, so you’ll be able to eat and enjoy a wider variety of foods again.
  • Implant Bridges – If you have more than one missing tooth, we can place two or more implants that will secure several replacement teeth. The bridge will span the gap where your teeth were, attaching on either end to implants. Just as with individual crowns, your new bridge will blend in seamlessly and give you renewed biting power and confidence when smiling.
  • Implant-Retained Dentures – With implants, modern dentures fit more securely and feel more comfortable than ever. With your implants in place, we can attach a set of dentures to them using a system of balls and snaps. You won’t have to worry about these dentures slipping out of place and embarrassing you, plus you can easily remove them for routine care and cleaning. Unlike traditional dentures, implant dentures will help keep your jawbone healthy and intact.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures – These fantastic restorations are similar to implant-retained dentures, except they attach to a bar that runs along your implants. This setup transfers biting forces to your jawbone rather than your gums, just like your natural teeth do. They are our most comfortable and secure dentures option and will also help prevent bone loss.

Common Questions About Dental Implants

The only part of your implants that will be visible in your smile are the restorations attached to them. Depending on the number of teeth you are replacing, that can be a crown, a bridge, or dentures. We use porcelain and other materials that resemble natural tooth enamel for our restorations. Chances are, no one will realize you have implants.

Insurance coverage varies widely, from carrier to carrier or even from plan to plan offered by the same carrier. We’ll help you research your plan to determine if any part of your dental implant treatment is covered. Implants are considered a major procedure, and few plans cover more than 50 percent of the cost. We also accept several different payment methods for out-of-pocket costs, including CareCredit financing.

One of our dentists will insert your implant through a small opening he makes in your gums. He will numb the area with local anesthesia first, so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort. However, you can also receive one of our two forms of dental relaxation if you’d like. Once the implant is in place, your bone fuses to it. After it’s healed, we attach a dental restoration to it, usually using a small piece of hardware called an abutment.

You should not feel any pain at all when getting your new implants, and only mild discomfort after your procedure. We will make sure you’re numb when we place your implants, and anchoring your new teeth should be a comfortable process. If you’re nervous about your procedure here, we also offer dental sedation that will help you relax.

It’s very possible for implants to last your entire life. Most implants are made of medical-grade titanium, a highly biocompatible material used for many medical purposes because of its durability, resistance to corrosion, and ability to fuse to bone. With proper oral hygiene, implants should last for decades. Like any replacement teeth, the restorations attached to implants may need to be replaced at some point.
