Natural Looking Dental Implant
One of the most common concerns we hear from patients who are considering dental implants is whether it will be obvious that the dental implants are not real. At Coastal Jaw Surgery, we are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality of care and have over 30-years-experience in delivering natural looking and natural feeling dental implants.
To learn more about the steps we take to ensure that your dental implants look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth, please refer to the following.
Ensuring Your Dental Implant Looks and Feels Natural
When you come to our clinic, you will be treated by oral health professionals who are at the forefront of oral surgery education and leaders in the fields of periodontal services and implant dentistry. In addition to our highly qualified staff, we also use the most cutting edge dental technology to ensure that your dental implants are placed in an optimal manner and in a way that will look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth.
In order to provide you with natural looking and natural feeling results, we will be thorough in selecting implants that are the perfect shape match, size, and color. We will also utilize our 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. This scan renders 3D images of your bone, nerve pathways, soft tissues, and teeth, and allows us to determine optimal placement of your implant. In addition to this perfect placement providing you with a more natural look, it will also prolong the longevity of your dental implant.
Our resident prosthodontist is Dr. Philip J. Hedger, who specializes in replacing and restoring missing teeth and is highly trained in dental implants, crowns, bridges, Same Day Teeth®, and more. Our operatory rooms are specially designed to provide you comprehensive treatment in a timely manner and where we most often perform Same Day Teeth® procedures. Dr. Pikos and Dr. Rosati also perform surgeries, post-ops, consults, and other related duties at our clinic on select days of the week.
Maintaining Your Natural Looking Results
Following the placement of your dental implant, it will take several months for the osseointegration process to complete. Once each post is fused, we will place the abutment on top of your gumline and attach the crown, which has been designed in our labs to create a seamlessly integrated smile that will restore the look, feel, and function of your natural smile.
Once the dental implant procedure is complete, we will schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure your new implants fit correctly and are healing properly. During this healing period, it is important that you closely follow after care instructions that have been provided, which may include antibiotic treatment and sticking to a modified soft-food diet for some time. After this follow-up visit, we strongly encourage our patients to schedule regular periodontal maintenance, at least every six months or with even greater frequency for patients who are more susceptible to periodontal disease. Scheduling these appointments will ensure that we can monitor the status of your dental implants and make sure that you continue enjoying your bright, full, natural looking smile.
