Dental Implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that Dr. Liana Basceanu, B.S., D.D.S. places into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.
Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling; you may forget you ever lost a tooth. You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news! Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own!
What dental implants can do for you?
♦ Replaces missing teeth without affecting bordering teeth.
♦ Provide support for a bridge or denture. Tooth missing, Implant placed, then the tooth replaced with crown.
♦ Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable. Advantages of Dental Implants Over Dentures or a Bridge:
♦ Esthetic: Implant supported crowns look and feel like your own teeth.
♦ Teeth Saving: Adjacent teeth do not have to be reduced to crowns like they do for conventional bridges.
♦ Confidence: Implants will allow you to eat and speak with confidence.
♦ Reliable: Dental implants are highly predictable and an excellent option to tooth replacement. |

Types of Implants in Use Today
• Endosteal (in the bone): This is the most commonly used type of implant. The various types include screws, cylinders or blades surgically placed into the jawbone. Each implant holds one or more prosthetic teeth. This type of implant is generally used as an alternative for patients with bridges or removable dentures.
• Subperiosteal (on the bone): These are placed on top of the jaw with the metal framework's posts protruding through the gum to hold the prosthesis. These types of implants are used for patients who are unable to wear conventional dentures and who have minimal bone height.
