Regain Your Confidence with Dental Implants in Worthington, OH
What Are
Dental Implants?
At Anthony Lordo, DDS, we offer dental implants, a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth. Implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These implants provide a stable foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth that are custom-made to match your natural teeth. The titanium material is biocompatible, meaning it is accepted by the body and integrates with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This integration promotes the stability of the implant and helps to preserve the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often accompanies missing teeth.
What are the
Types of Dental Implants?
We offer various types of dental implants to suit different needs. Our goal is to provide the most effective and personalized solutions for tooth replacement, ensuring optimal functionality and aesthetics. Here are the types of dental implants we offer:
The Dental Implant Procedure
Getting dental implants involves several stages, each meticulously planned for the best possible outcome. Here’s an in-depth look at the process:
1
Initial Consultation
Dr. Lordo will perform a comprehensive examination, including digital x-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your oral health and jawbone density. This evaluation helps determine if you are a good candidate for dental implants and aids in planning the precise placement of the implants.
2
Treatment Planning
We create a detailed treatment plan, tailored to your specific needs. This plan includes the number of implants required, the type of restorations (such as crowns, bridges, or dentures), and the timeline for the procedure.
3
Implant Placement Surgery
During the surgical phase, titanium implants are placed into the jawbone at the predetermined locations. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for your comfort.
4
Abutment Placement
Once osseointegration is complete, a second minor surgery is performed to attach abutments—small connectors that will hold the final restoration.
5
Impression Taking
Digital or traditional impressions of your teeth and the implant sites are taken to create a precise mold for your custom restorations.
6
Final Restoration Placement
The custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely attached to the abutments. Dr. Lordo will make any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit and comfortable bite.
