Dental Implants at Pinellas Dental Specialties
At Pinellas Dental Specialties, we offer a comprehensive range of dental implant services designed to restore the function, aesthetics, and health of your smile. Dental implants are a reliable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, and our expert team is here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring optimal results and long-term success.
Dental Implant Placement
Dental implant placement is a sophisticated procedure that involves surgically inserting a titanium post into the jawbone to act as a replacement root for a missing tooth. The implant serves as a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Key aspects of the procedure include:
Comprehensive Evaluation
We start with a thorough examination, including digital imaging, to assess your oral health and determine the best placement strategy.
Precise Placement
Using advanced technology, we place the implant with precision to ensure it integrates properly with the jawbone.
Personalized Restoration
Once the implant has fully integrated, a custom-created restoration is placed to complete your smile.
Benefits of Dental Implant Placement:
- Durability: Implants are a long-lasting solution with a high success rate and minimal risk of complications.
- Functionality: Restores the ability to chew and speak naturally.
- Aesthetics: Provides a natural-looking replacement that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Bone Grafting
In cases where there is insufficient bone density to support a dental implant,
bone grafting may be required prior to implant placement. This procedure involves adding graft material to the jawbone to promote new bone growth. The benefits of bone grafting include:
- Enhanced Bone Structure: Provides a solid foundation for successful implant placement.
- Increased Implant Success: Ensures that the implant integrates properly with the jawbone.
- Improved Functionality: Restores the ability to support dental implants and other restorative treatments.
Gum Grafts Around Dental Implants
Gum grafting is a procedure used to address gum recession or thinning around dental implants. This technique involves taking tissue from another part of your mouth (or using donor tissue) and grafting it to the affected area. Key benefits include:
- Protection for Implants: Covers exposed implant surfaces and protects them from potential complications.
- Improved Aesthetics: Enhances the appearance of your smile by creating a natural and even gum line.
- Preventing Complications: Helps to prevent issues such as implant failure or infection due to insufficient gum coverage.
Treatment of Failing Dental Implants
In the rare event that a dental implant begins to fail, treatment for failing implants is available to address and manage the issue. Common causes of implant failure include infection, bone loss, or improper placement. Our approach includes:
Diagnosis
Conducting a thorough evaluation to identify the cause of the implant failure.
Treatment Options
Depending on the issue, treatment may involve removing the failing implant, addressing any underlying infections, and possibly performing additional bone or gum grafting before placing a new implant.
Restoration
Ensuring that the new implant is properly placed and integrated to restore your smile effectively.
