Dental Implants At Greater Ohio Oral & Facial Surgery we offer several implant-related treatments to replace one or more missing teeth. We specialize in implant treatment because we believe that dental implants are the ideal solution for tooth loss.What Is a Dental Implant?A dental implant is a titanium screw that we surgically embed deep into the jawbone. Once the implant is in place, it will slowly fuse to your jaw through the process of osseointegration. After a brief healing period, the implant screw will be able to support a restoration against the strongest forces of your bite. Dental implants can be used to support a single crown, a partial bridge, and a full-arch restoration. Benefits of Dental ImplantsDental implants are the next best thing to your natural teeth. This makes implants a more convenient, durable, secure, and aesthetically pleasing option over traditional restorations. The numerous benefits of dental implants have made them the industry standard for tooth replacement! Same Day SmileDental implants are a popular treatment used to replace missing teeth. Typically, however, you wear temporary restorations until you heal, after which you receive your final dental restorations. At Greater Ohio Oral & Facial Surgery, we can eliminate the need for temporary teeth, providing you with your final restorations right after implant placement, with Same Day Smile. Single Tooth ImplantA single tooth implant replaces a missing tooth from root to crown. The process involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial root and fuses with your natural bone for long-term stability. Once healing is complete, a lifelike crown is attached that matches your surrounding teeth in shape, size, and color. All on 4We offer the All-on-4® Treatment Concept for patients missing all or most of their teeth. As the name suggests, this full-arch restoration only uses four implants to support the entire bridge. The posterior (back) implants are placed at an angle to utilize the strongest part of the jawbone. Other full-arch restorations usually require six to eight implants. Thanks to the revolutionary new technique, All-on-4 is much more effective and minimally-invasive than other options. Full Mouth ImplantsFull mouth dental implants replace an entire set of upper or lower teeth using 4 to 6 titanium posts strategically placed in the jawbone. These implants act as strong anchors for a custom prosthetic arch, restoring your full smile while preserving bone health. Implant-Supported DentureAn implant-supported denture is similar to All-on-4 but usually requires more implants. We may recommend an implant-supported denture if you want a better alternative to traditional dentures. A traditional denture is a removable appliance that rests on the gums. Because it is not secured by implants, many patients experience difficulty eating, discomfort, and even embarrassing slips. Zygomatic Dental ImplantsWhile traditional dental implants are anchored into your jawbone, zygomatic dental implants are placed into your cheekbone, also known as your zygoma. Zygomatic dental implants are able to be surgically placed into the cheekbone and anchored immediately, thus removing the wait time of traditional dental implants which are embedded into your jawbone and require time to fuse together. Ridge AugmentationMany patients need a bone graft, or ridge augmentation before implantation is possible. Osseointegration, the process responsible for the many benefits of dental implants, requires an adequate amount of bone in the jaw. If osseointegration does not occur, implant failure is virtually guaranteed. Fortunately, we offer ridge augmentation to improve the quantity and quality of deteriorated bone. In many ways, ride augmentation allows patients to receive dental implants when it would otherwise be impossible. Implant Supported BridgeAn implant-supported bridge is a stable, long-lasting solution for replacing several missing teeth in a row. Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, the bridge is anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, restoring strength, function, and appearance. This approach helps preserve bone health, prevents shifting of surrounding teeth, and provides a natural-looking, confident smile. Post Operative ImplantsContent coming soon.
