With high-end technology and expert staff, partner with us to reclaim your oral health, confidence, and comfort.

Understanding Dental Implants

Dental implants are permanent restorations. They consist of small yet durable titanium screws surgically placed within the jaw to act as tooth roots, providing support for natural-looking, artificial teeth in the form of dentures, a bridge, or a crown. Dental implants can replace one, multiple, or a full arch of teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants help your face just as much as your mouth. In fact, you’ll enjoy a series of benefits once your dental implant surgery is complete, including:

• Preserved jawbone integrity
• Greater oral health and hygiene
• Reduced risk of gum recession, bone loss, and facial caving
• Permanence and durability of the tooth
• Improved oral function

All-On-4: Teeth In A Day

With extensive experience with the most modern techniques, Dr. Smutko provides All-On-4 or Teeth-in-a-day dental implants. All-on-4 implants allow most patients to bypass the prolonged wait times of traditional dental implants. Instead, this treatment allows for complete dental implants and artificial teeth placement in one procedure.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Guyette Facial & Oral Surgery Center is recognized as a premier provider of dental implant and bone grafting procedures. When a row of teeth needs to be replaced, we provide implant-supported dentures. This unlocks a full set of teeth without the stress or cost of replacing each tooth.

The Dental Implant Process

The dental implant process takes several months. The initial appointment involves a thorough consultation and assessment of your oral health, bone density, and treatment objectives. To develop a seamless treatment plan, we perform a physical evaluation and diagnostic imaging to determine whether bone grafting or extraction is necessary prior to implants.

Surgery for Dental Implants

The next phase of the dental implant process involves surgically placing titanium implant posts. For those who need additional jawbone reinforcement, this is performed following bone grafting. Our oral surgeons will make small gum incisions to access the jawbone, removing the existing tooth or creating a hole to hold the implant post before suturing the gums.

Recovery Period

Once the titanium posts are surgically placed, a recovery period of up to six months is required. During this time, osseointegration begins, a process that enables the implant to fuse with the jawbone to fulfill the role of a tooth root. This recovery period is imperative to the stability, integrity, and long-term support of dental implants.

Unveiling Your Full Dental Implants

The final part of the dental implant process involves completing and unveiling your new smile. During this appointment, our experts will connect an abutment to the implant posts. Dentures, a bridge, or a crown are then attached to the abutment to reveal the final results of your restoration.

Factors That Influence Dental Implants Success

The most influential factor in the dental implant process is the integrity of the patient’s jawbone. On average, lower jaw dental implants boast a 95% success rate, with upper jaw implants following close behind at 90%. For dental implants to be successful, sufficient jawbone density is imperative, paired with stringent adherence to post-procedure aftercare.

Dental Implants Maintenance

Dental implants cannot be removed and cleaned like standard dentures. As such, it’s imperative to stay diligent about your oral hygiene. To eliminate bacteria and food particles beneath the implants, we recommend using a waterpik. Furthermore, routine check-ups with your dentist are of utmost importance to preserve the integrity of your smile.
