Implant Dentistry to Replace Missing Teeth

Tooth loss is far more than just a cosmetic concern. A missing tooth or teeth can lead to a myriad of functional challenges while also compromising the integrity of your jawbone. These concerns raise the importance of implant dentistry. That's where our experts at Kozica Dental come in.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are recommended for patients with one or several missing teeth. They consist of a titanium or zirconium post that takes on the role of the natural tooth root and is connected to an abutment to support the artificial tooth. These restorative prosthetics can be tailored to accommodate a single gap in your smile or a complete arch.

The Process of Receiving Dental Implants

Dental implants are not an immediate transformation. Opting for mini or full dental implants involves committing to several visits to an implant specialist. To provide positive patient experiences, we work in conjunction with an implant specialist, who employs a meticulous approach to the dental implant procedure, with appointments including:

  • Oral evaluation and candidacy consultation
  • Personalized treatment planning
  • Surgical implant placement
  • Recovery period
  • Abutment placement

After the implant is fully integrated into bone, you would return to Dr. Kozica for the final restoration.

Understanding the Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant procedure begins by surgically implanting the titanium or zirconium post in the jawbone. This placement triggers a naturally occurring process known as osseointegration, which fuses the post with the jawbone. Once healed, the custom prosthetic restoration is connected to the post to reveal a seamless, stable, and long-lasting smile.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard of restorative dentistry. The leading benefits of these highly sought-after restorations include:

  • Unmatched durability and stability
  • Jawbone stimulation to preserve bone density and facial structure
  • Natural look and feel
  • Enhanced oral function

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Dental implants are suitable for patients with one missing tooth or a full arch of missing teeth. However, there are certain candidacy requirements. The eligibility criteria for dental implants includes:

  • Good systemic health
  • Adequate jawbone density
  • Non-smoker or willing to quit
  • No signs of pre-existing periodontal disease

When to Consider Dental Implants

At Kozica Dental, we recommend dental implants to accommodate a wide range of cosmetic and restorative oral health needs. Common reasons to consider dental implants include:

  • Cosmetic enhancement
  • Restore oral function and smile aesthetics
  • Permanent alternative to conventional dentures
  • Replace extracted teeth following severe decay or trauma

The Longevity of Dental Implants

Dental implants are designed to fuse with the jawbone, contributing to extended stability and permanent results. However, optimal oral health and hygiene are required to preserve the integrity of dental implants. Although the implant is permanent, the crown or bridge may require replacement or adjustments after years of consistent wear.
