The new gold standard: dental implants
Expert Dental Implants for a Perfect Smile
Sometimes any damage to your teeth may only require simple, cosmetic solutions. For example, if you have a small chip or crack, you may just need dental bonding. If you have experienced more severe damage or decay, you might need to have your tooth removed. You might also have an accident that knocks a tooth out, requiring you to replace the missing tooth. Whatever your reason, if you have a gap where a tooth is missing, you should have it replaced. The new gold standard is a dental implant.
Traynor Periodontics & Implants provides a variety of surgical and non-surgical services for the treatment of periodontal issues. We are well-known for our effective communication style and warm presence. We are extremely effective with all clinical practices due to our consistent engagement with the innovative, technological improvements in the dental industry. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are very conservative in our treatment recommendations and limit surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary. Call Traynor Periodontics & Implants at 203-661-5885 with any questions or to make an appointment to examine the benefits of a dental implant for you.
Having a dental implant placed involves several steps
What is the Process?
Having a dental implant placed has several steps and will take more than one visit to Traynor Periodontics & Implants and a few months to complete.
The first step includes x-rays to identify if your jawbone is dense enough to support the titanium implant. If you need a tooth extracted, that must be completed first. If it is clarified that your bone needs more density, a bone graft will be introduced. A painless process, it simply adds a little time to the treatment. When we are ready for the implant placement, your team at Traynor Periodontics & Implants will administer a local anesthetic to the area and then surgically place the tiny post in your jawbone. It will take several months for this post to naturally fuse or grow to the bone. Once we determine that is it stable, an abutment or extension is added to the post to reach the gumline and a beautiful artificial crown is added. Just like that you have a tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions naturally.
Proper Care Improves the
Longevity of Dental Implants
Following your dental implant procedure, it is beneficial to plan on your healing process taking a few weeks. During this time, the team at Traynor Periodontics & Implants will recommend that you stick to a soft-food diet and slowly reintroduce harder foods as tenderness diminishes. If your implant was placed because of an injury related to sports, it is also particularly important to consider wearing a mouth guard to prevent it from happening again.
The most important thing to do to preserve the health of your implant is to practice sound oral hygiene habits every day.
The health industry suggest that you brush twice daily and also to practice proper brushing technique. In addition to brushing consistently, it is also important to brush effectively. It is also effective to floss at least once a day.
Be aware of your diet. One of the best steps in exercising preventative dental care is to avoid foods that are high in sugar or starch. If you enjoy soda, try to use a straw to limit exposure to your teeth. It is also beneficial to swish your mouth with water following meals to dislodge food remnants.
Schedule regular, preventative dental exams at Traynor Periodontics & Implants. Dental issues left unchecked can easily result in additional issues and progression of decay, which is why it is important to visit us every six months. In addition to providing you with a thorough checkup and exam, we will also professionally clean your teeth, diagnosis any potential issues, and it allows us to monitor the status of your implant.
