Dental Implants in Cincinnati, OH

Well, dental implants has been probably one of the biggest improvements in dental health care in the past 20 years. Back when we'd have to bridge, we’d have to incorporate other teeth. Implant in a single-tooth area can be done very easily. We refer out to specialists. They use CT scans to have exact placement. It's very important for us to coordinate with them because we have to make a tooth on top of the implant that looks like it's supposed to be there.
The implant placement is very important in terms of that final result. Well, the importance of replacing a missing tooth is primarily when that space is there, not a cosmetic issue, obviously it can be, but from a dental standpoint, that creates kind of a domino effect in terms of the bite. Teeth start to move. They drift forward and, over the long term, can really be very detrimental to the health of the whole area.
For patients that come to us with missing teeth, we give them all the options. It could be implant. It could be something else. But again, it's important for the patient to understand the ramifications of their choices. As long as we understand the situation and they agree to what's going on, we will see them through and get everything taken care of and make them much better than when they came.

Improve Your Teeth & Improve Your Life
Dental implants function as replacement tooth roots. After your dentist places them in your jaw, the implants will chemically fuse with your bone in a process called osseointegration. After the fusing process and healing period are complete, your implants will be ready to support your new teeth. Your restoration options could then include:
Implant-Supported Crowns – We can place a porcelain crown on top of an implant to replace a single missing tooth. Your new tooth will blend in naturally with the rest of your smile and function as well as your original tooth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges – We can replace several missing teeth in a row with a bridge that anchors to dental implants. Your new bridge will fill in the gap in your smile and allow you to eat your favorite foods again.
- Implant-Retained Dentures – These dentures are a step above conventional dentures. They are secured to implants using a snap-and-ball system so you won’t have to worry about them slipping, clicking, or popping out of place.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – These are our most comfortable and best-performing dentures. They anchor to a bar that is secured to dental implants. The forces of biting and chewing are transferred to your jaw through the bar, serving the same function your natural teeth do.
