What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are specifically designed to provide an optimal foundation for replacing teeth that resemble and function like natural ones. For those who have lost their teeth, they can regain the capacity to enjoy almost any type of food while displaying a smile with confidence as the artificial teeth will look identical to the originals.
Replacing your missing teeth can be done in a simple and effective way with dental implants. These prosthetic roots are made up of three components: a post, an abutment, and a restoration. They restore full functionality to any number of teeth that have been lost or damaged, giving you back the ability to enjoy your favorite foods and improving your self-confidence.

Dental Implants Before & After
The Dental Implant Procedure
The Titanium anchors, known as dental implants, act in place of the roots of missing teeth. They are inserted into the jawbone through a surgical procedure. The posts, which project from the gums and attach to the implant, creates secure foundations for artificial replacement teeth.
For the majority of patients, getting dental implants entails two separate surgical operations. Initially, these implants will be embedded in your jawbone. In the initial three to six months following the procedure, the implants remain under the gum line, bonding gradually with the jawbone. During this period of time, temporary dentures may be used for convenience. Simultaneously, Dr. Kafayiwill creates the permanent bridge or denture that will both aesthetically and functionally enhance your teeth’s appearance.
Once the dental implant has adhered to the jawbone, Dr. Kafayi will initiate phase two of the procedure by uncovering it and attaching a minor healing collar. Taking an impression for your new teeth follows afterward. Posts or fasteners are then linked to the implants. Lastly, a mold is made for your replacement teeth above the posts or attachments, concluding the whole process that usually lasts from six to eight months with little impact on one’s daily routine.

What Are My Options for Dental Implants?
From single-tooth implants to full mouth dental implants, there are a few options available for restoring your smile, depending on your specific needs and goals. It’s important to know all of your dental implant options in order to make an informed decision.
Single implant
Single dental implants are typically used to replace one missing tooth. A single implant is placed into the jawbone, followed by a porcelain crown that is placed onto the implant. This creates a strong, stable replacement for the missing tooth and looks completely natural.
Zirconia Fixed Bridges
For Patients who are missing some, but not all of their teeth may opt for a zirconia fixed bridge as opposed to full mouth dental implants. Fixed bridges use the same posts as dental implants to fuse to the jawbone and bridge the gap left by the missing teeth. This Procedure helps to preserve the jawbone health of the patient.
All on 4™ Full Mouth Dental Implants
All On 4 is an innovative dental implant system designed to provide patients with full mouth dental implants in just one procedure. The All On 4 technique uses four strategically placed dental implants in the upper and lower jaw to support a full arch of artificial teeth. This advanced method eliminates the need for multiple implants, thereby reducing treatment time and cost.
